Need a good snorkel mask

[BeckyTV]

I am an avid snorkeler and was using a low volume mask for a while but tried my husband's high volume Scubapro mask and loved it but it was to big. His mask is a one piece lens, is there any one making such a mask in a women's size?

When you say a "one piece lens", do you mean a traditional oval mask, e.g.

SEADIVE makes some good masks.

TruVu RayBlocker is a nice mask that I use. Great for discriminating sea life in low light (kelp diving) and good sun protection when head above water swimming out and back in. These are somewhat pricey medium volume masks.

I use the single lens Eagleye-SL and Monarch. My sister has the two window Pilot.

Check out the Tusa Visio Tri-Ex, medium volume, treat Field of vision. I have a small, narrow face, and that mask fit me like a glove.
In case you're into snorkeldiving, you need to consider the aspect of mask equalization, the extra- air required adds up, as you going deeper(30'/ +), that's why I actually switched to the Omer Bandit last year, EQ takes much less air, and I don't mind the smaller field of vision.

David, the one piece I was talking about is a rectangle style lens.
I don't usually dive down much so the volume shouldn't be a factor.
Thanks everyone, will look in to your suggestions.

Definitely check out the Atomic Aquatics Frameless. It is fairly low volume, but not nearly as low as a freediving mask (which is what I'm assuming you typically use). The Atomic is super comfortable, single lens, easy to adjust and has a HUGE field of view. Also, they make it in a medium-fit version that would likely fit your face. It ain't cheap but it is widely considered to be the best mask.

finally found out what style the husband's mask is, its a Scuabapro Tri-vent where it purges from the sides. From what I could find out is that they made it up until 2006???

Check out the new masks from Kapitol Reef.
They make masks and snorkels designed specifically for snorkelling.

Here's a picture of the Scubapro TriVent XQ mask from a review of 30 masks:

Face Off: 30 Masks Reviewed | Scuba Diving Magazine
The comment reads: "Three-window style. Side windows are large and flat, so they give an unusually clear view. The purge directs bubbles to the sides, away from your line of sight. Huge volume, though."

Here's another version of the Tri-Vent:

The picture is from an eBay auction that ended in June. From what I've gleaned online, eBay appears to be the only source for this mask now it's been discontinued, unless the following Scubaboard thread, also from June 2010, is of interest:
