Try both on as they do have different fits. I prefer the subframe model but it may not even fit you. The frameless will likely have a bit wider viewing angle.

OK.....what if they both fit well??

See which you like better?

IMO the subframe LOOKS better. It had a kinda cool metal piece in the middle and a choice of colors(blue, red, black, clear, yellow).

the frameless would probably be a little better viewing angle wise...that's about the only advantage I can think of.

Just try out both and see which you prefer

I don't think so. I compared them in a shop, and subframe had better angle of view. Scubapro Frameless sucked big time compared to X-vision, Atomic, Cressi Matrix and Big Eyes.

Hm, interesting. I can't say I compared them side by side for viewing angle when I tried them on originally. I simply checked for fit.

Canadians are always paying inflated prices. But you can buy it online for $65.

Thats a great deal!!! 65 bucks!! But the store is in spain!! Who would you take it to if something broke on it??

yeah I saw that too (scubastore/diveinn.com). But when you add shipping its not that much less than what atomic dealers in the US are selling.

Went by a local LDS today. Probabley going to get the subframe in blue. Matches my Atomic M1 reg thats also blue. Price was 99 bucks and 89 for the frameless. ..Question ,,,,what are most using to clean this mask. Regular toothpaste?? Or would toothpaste with baking soda work better. Or can I use a mixture of baking soda and a little bit of water to make a paste ?

 

[pakman]

just plain white colgate for me... just about to get my frameless wet today in few hours... will tell you how effective the toothpaste was!! or not...
