ScubaPro Synergy 2 dual lens (nose pocket a bit small)
Shame about the nose pocket being a bit small, best mask I have had in years ,great during the day, not so at night , at night it's the Scubapro Solo or the Hollis M1, rotate either as my spare

Coming in late, but my mask of choice is the Hollis M-1. I started out with a Tusa M-31, which fit beautifully but the clear silicone yellowed after years in chlorinated pools, plus it's pretty high volume. Tried the Halcyon H-View a few years ago, but too wide. Currently looking for another backup mask, but I might just spring for another Hollis.
 
Five years later. :cool:

The Hollis M1 [2 of them] is now my first choice and my 2nd choice [spare] now is the X Deep Frameless.
Retired the Scubapro masks.
The straps on the Hollis are better [as in a little thicker , are they stronger?] than the X Deep, I keep spares of both.
looks like the straps and buckles are interchangeable, I will post a photo if they are.

Try a Mako Mini mask. Minimus (aka Mini) Freedive Mask
The beauty of that mask is that Dano, the owner of Mako (on SB) will refund the cost of mask and shipping costs if it does not work for you. My wife and I have different shape faces, but the mask works for both of us. You really can't beat the return policy.
Edit: He will also let you keep the mask even if you request the refund.

Did you purchase the strap as well or did you use an aftermarket?

Looking at mask as I have always been challenged in finding a non leaking mask

Thanks

The mask came with a strap. You also might look at the Hollis M-1 mask, which my wife and I also own, and really like. Although we have different face shapes, the Hollis M-1 works extremely well for us, and since getting the Hollis mask, the Mako Mini sits in our dive closet. Good luck.
