Canuk(ian),
I have two pieces of Mares gear: (1) my Quattros and they were great and (2) the ESA mask--I was really unhappy with it because it leaked like the proverbial sieve. But I took it back to the LDS and he told me Mares had fixed the problem and exchanged it for a new ESA.
Now, I have no info from Mares and so I do not know if that is actually true, BUT the new ESA has worked great for 40 dives and I an so confident in it, that I am not taking a spare on my next trip. I will never hesitate to buy other Mares gear!
And I am glad someone else thought the APEX exhaust ports were a little short. That is one of the reasons I have a Sherwood Oasis: twin exhaust ports that exhaust out to the side and "far" away...helps when aiming a camera...but I hold my breath while pushing the shutter button, so....
Joewr...counting the hours until we board the jet...
