HELP with Mask and Fin

[wrusty33]

Edit: Ok, ok.... well after reading several posts on masks, I get it. No one can tell me which masks are better, I have to try them on to get that info. How about just giving me your favorite mask you dive with?

If you had to choose 3 masks which would they be and why? If you have another good contender, let me know and tell me why. Red cell indicates disfavor based on ease of nose access for equalization, buckle type for strap, dislike of lense shape. I am looking for the best sealing mask, with best field of vision horizontally and vertically, with the easiest buckle systam. Color will be black. Style is not really an issue unless the lense shape looks very unappealing. However, my more important considerations can overide lense shape issues.

For fins, since I am out of shape physically, I want at the moment very easy fins to flutter kick. I am looking at SP Seawing Nova, but as I said if you have any recommendations on onthe mask and fin, let me know and tell me why you recommend.

Many thanks.

I like the Hollis M1 mask. Low Profile, ultra clear glass, and a excellent fit for me at least. Make sure you try on any of the, fit is the ultimate factor.
