After 15+ years of faithfully riding around in it's pocket and thankfully never being needed, my folding back-up mask is looking like it needs to be replaced. I have not found any folding masks that look like they are well made in current manufacture. Do any of you have any suggestions? Thanks.
 
I wouldn't necessarily call it folding, but any of your Frameless masks (Atomic, Hollis, Oceanic) will lay pretty flat in a pocket. No only do they offer the best vision but because there is no frame, the sides are soft and they can fold in and lay flat.

I look for fit, folding small and price.....all of these I found in the UTD mask which is identical to an M4 but cheaper. Highly recommended.
 
I used to not do this, but I think having your backup as the same as your primary is a good idea. Rotate them out and such.
 
Atomic Frameless folds as close to flat as you can get.

+1, good fitting masks and they are pretty damn flat...
 
I currently use the scubapro frameless as my primary mask, just like to be able to fold the back-up. I will check out the UTD. Thanks!
 
i use two of the same brands (Sea max, Aeris) they fit me great (better than my more expnsive masks) and fold easily, and they are cheap with a retail of ~$50 or less.
 
ScubaMax makes knockoff Scubapro Frameless mask. Made of very soft rubber that folds nicely.
