that's the one i got. i first tested it in my bathtub and had a little leak under the nose, then just kind of messed with it, adjusting it a bit on my face, and then it didn't leak. then a couple weeks later had the opportunity to dive in the pool at my LDS testing out new fins and wore the new mask.........no problems. try tightening it just a wee bit, or perhaps just tweaking the placement on your face a little bit. i wanted to be sure mine was ok before sending it off for Rx lenses. but i had no problems in the pool with it. good luck! the skirt is very flexible isn't it? also, if you're a guy, make sure you shave beforehand so that little stubble won't interfere with a good seal.

Thanks for the tip, I tightened it a little and that seemed to help a bit. Will find out this weekend:D
 
Just used my new Subframe with ARC lenses last week in Curacao and loved it! First dive, I wasn't so sure I was going to like it. It definitly requires 2-3 scrubs to get the coating off. 2nd day I felt a lot more comfortable with it and had no problems at all. Now I need to get those spring straps...always something new to upgrade to.
