Fit is always the primary consideration ; of the ~ 50 masks I have tried, this one is by far the best for me. The high quality and overall design are also plusses, and the price is terrific.

Comments about Genesis Genesis SM5500 Panview 4 Window Mask:

I bought this recently on special here at LP to use as a backup, and after cleaning w/mask cleaner and using defogger, I never have any fogging issues with it. Fits great, no leaks. Performs as well as other masks I have that cost much more.

Comments about Genesis Genesis SM5500 Panview 4 Window Mask:

Nice low volume mask with good peripheral vision. I originally bought it for underwater hockey, but it was a little bigger than I like for that. I'm also a free diver/spearfisherman, so I started using it in the ocean and it's worked great. Prior to taking it in the ocean the first time I cleaned it with soap and it fogged throughout my dive. Before the next dive I cleaned it really well with toothpaste and it worked fine.

Bottom Line:

Comments about Genesis Genesis SM5500 Panview 4 Window Mask:

I searched and tried on over 30 masks before finding a quality fit. This was the only mask to do so. I have since used it from 30 degree environments to 82 degree environments with not so much as a single problem other than the yellowing of the clear skirt (buy the black silicone skirt). If the mask is not fitting properly and leaks, BUY A DIFFERENT ONE THAT FITS! Great piece of equipment and the price is incredible at this point. I paid more than they sell for now.

Comments about Genesis Genesis SM5500 Panview 4 Window Mask:

Bought this mask on recommendation. Used them for 3 dives and everytime the lens fog. I have used the toothpaste and the sylva with no luck against the fogging. The leakage is good and vision is great. Ended up exchanging for AquaLung Mythos.

Comments about Genesis Genesis SM5500 Panview 4 Window Mask:

I used this for snorkeling. At first it felt great. After about 3 hours underneath my nose stared to hurt. I tried to loosen the mask, it then leaked. I tried to tighten, it then was too tight and hurt. the mask may be too big for me.

I will try and adjust and use again before I buy another mask. This mask may be for a bigger face.
