I was just wondering what you all think of the new hi-def masks on the market. There doesn't seem to be much of a selection yet, but I like what I have seen. Any known pros or cons to these masks?

I just googled it and it looks like rebranding on the color correcting masks from the past 10+ years.

It's like sunglasses. For diver's who suffer from 'glare' underwater. Darn...it's just so very bright down there. Now you don't have to wear sunglasses over your mask when diving. Glory be! Genius!This mask has OMC (Optical Multicoating) technology that minimizes UV and glare.
Light nanometers (nm). A unit of measurement of the light spectrum. The 'wavelength' of the light.It reduces light nanometers for better eye comfort
Yep...never can have too much blue when you are diving! So much glare... so little blue light. I think that having more 'blue light' will really change the way I see the underwater world........and changes white light harshness to bluish light for improved contrast.
Wow...it 'finds' lost light. Silly me for losing it in the first place. I thought it was eliminated by refraction, reflection and absorbtion.... but it turns out that it was just 'lost'. It's nice that this mask allows me pick up on the lost light.The TrueColor lenses are specially formulated to pick up red (lost at ten feet) and yellow (lost at twenty feet) and define objects and give better depth perception
