Seeking recent-ish recommendations for mask with a nose purge! My preferred model (Tilos Arrow) doesn't seem to be made anymore. Black skirt preferred but not required.

This is for a prospective new diver who has limited shoulder mobility due to an injury and can't always handle the range of motion to clear the mask with the usual two-handed maneuver.
 
TUSA makes one the Imperix Hyperdry, they even offer it with a black skirt. No idea how well it works, I just use my leaky DGX mask.
 
I've used an Oceanic Ion purge mask for many years. I love mine.

I haven’t had the opportunity to try more than a couple masks, but the Oceanic above seems to work great for me.
 
Tusa Imprex Hyperdry. All we use and have for years. Go on Amazon and buy the mask/snorkel combo. It is cheaper than the mask alone.
 
You can clear a mask easily with one hand, just place one hand sideways across top of the mask and blow, I never use two hands. That said, if it makes diving more accessible for this individual than go for the purge mask.
