What is the difference between these Cressi Masks

[Splashette]

Oh jeez, someone help me out here, please. I have a small face and have been looking at Cressi masks. These three masks...
Eyes Evolution
Big Eyes
Big Eyes Evolution

My head is spinning because when I Google or try looking them up the names seem to be interchangeable. I know Big Eyes is a bigger mask than Eyes Evolution (which is hard to find online) so what is Big Eyes Evolution?

Those Italians!!! I can say that, I'm Italian

hello,
- Cressi Big Eyes: old model, less available, only black color and harder skirt.
- Cressi Big Eyes Evolution: newer model evolved from the older shape, softener skirt, and slightly different lenses increasing viewfield; available in different colors.
- "Eyes Evolution" is the "Cressi Big Eyes Evolution Crystal", same name "shortened" on some websites,
if followed by "Crystal" it is made from crystal clear silicone that should not become yellow after time.

My 17 years old daughter was satisfied with "Scubapro Zoom" borrowed from our club, before we received a smaller children mask "Mares Pirate". You might try "Scubapro Zoom" if available to borrow in your area.

EDIT: Apologies, my mistake. After searching better it appears "Eyes" is different size from "BIG eyes"; joined a Table in my next post.

Thank you for that info. So Eyes Evolution, the smaller version of Big Eyes Evolution, is now called Big Eyes Evolution Crystal? I just want to make sure the Big Eyes Evolution Crystal is the smaller size?

I'm 4'11" and my face size is probably equivalent to a 12-13 yr old, I'm refusing to buy a child's mask.

The original Cressi Big Eyes, if you can still find it, is excellent for narrower faces. Both of my daughters prefer that mask. Luckily I still have two of them.

My wife who also has a narrow face profile used the Mares X Vision Mid, you might want to give that one a try as well.

Arkstorm, thank you for that info.

Sena, thank you. I did see this chart and the first mask I tried was the Nano but it didn't work out. Next is the Lince and scubapro zoom. I saw your edit....please tell me I'm not the only one confused? On Cressi website it appears the Eye Evolution Crystal is also named Air? Lol, maybe it is just me

 

[sena_akutsa]

the Eye Evolution Crystal is also named Air?

according to this Cressi USA site link, they are "different masks" , not the same .
from this point I really don't know how to advice.

Maybe you should try more Different models from different manufacturers, without especially focusing on advertized Size.
maybe a previous thread on ScubaBoard here like this one will provide more informations

side note: my daughter's "Mares Pirate" (children) leaked the first 2 dives when was NEW from box, then stopped when the skirt became more flexible after usage.
(she tried Pirate several dives in our Club before deciding to order)

- I also have a "thin face" and surprisingly got a way better result with "Tusa Pano Geo" although it is a relatively large and heavy model (very old not sold any more). The second one was Scubapro Zoom (the first model, still available in some stores).
These fitted me better than the "Mares Wahoo" on my avatar; will replace it once I get a friend traveling from France to my country.

Thanks Sena, I am now focusing on other masks, I will try the scubapro zoom and others outside of Cressi.
