I own two Fusion 3 window masks and love them for their fit and peripheral viewing,
but...
I've had 3 or 4 sets of strap adjustment pins pull out and fly off into the abyss on several dives. This is not only annoying and expensive at $17 per pin but dangerous and in my opinion a poor design. A through bolted or pressed pin or something similar would be ideal.
Anyway, my LDS was kind enough to replace my mask even though it was beyond warrantee and I was only looking to pick up yet more pins... so I'll have an opportunity to see if it was just this one particular mask or the design itself.
I got tired of being told that it's just me and that adjustments shouldn't have to be made on a dive or that I'm wearing it too tight, etc. It's not reality to not adjust a mask on a dive sometimes and it certainly shouldn't constantly break.
So...I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem with the Fusion's latch/adjustment system and pins?
I've written to tech support to ask if they might have either an older through bolted
style design or if the P1's back adjust strap system with the metal "permanent" pins
would work on the 3 window. Hopefull there is some kind of retrofit available.
Have any of you had a similar problem with your pins getting launched into the deep
when adjusting underwater?
Thanks for any feedback,
Jim
