I am impressed with the quality and value of this product. My wife and I had a great time snorkeling in Mexico. I look forward to using it again. I should really get some fins to go with it. The mask fit me well. I was skeptical about the dry snorkel at first, but it worked great. It doesn't come with any carrying case or mesh bag.

Mask is clear and doesn't fog up if you don't breath through your nose. I use mask drops before each dive as well. The mask fit my face, my wife's face, and another friend's face without leaking.

The snorkel is pretty cool. I have always just used the old fashioned kind in the past, but I was impressed at how dry it stayed. The top seals well when diving. I would occasionally get a little bit down to the bottom, but it would collect below the breathing hole, so I never got any unexpected mouthfuls. I generally clear when surfacing anyway with a quick blast of air, and it was easy to clear through the bottom valve. My only gripe with it is that occasionally if you just pop your head up to see where you are, the top can close on you, but if you just spit out the mouth piece, or put your face back down, you can continue breathing without trouble. That only happened once or twice, and did not really detract from the experience.

Overall, a great product for the price.

We bought the set for a trip to Hawaii. The mask is fine, but the review is about the snorkel. The Pivot Dry is worth any extra money. The pivoting head really works! While snorkeling in the rough water of Hawaii, we watched person after person lift their heads to blow the water out. Ultimately, they all gave up and went for shore. These snorkels work exactly as advertised - no water when submerged or splashed.

I will say it's a little strange when you try to inhale and the pivot is closed, but you get the idea quickly (breathing water would have been the other option).

The snorkeling was so much more enjoyable - much more time with my face in the water enjoying the sights.

Bought some snorkel equipment for our trip to Maui.
Like my $45 oceanic snorkel and $50 Divemaster mask better, but not by much.
The field of view for the mask was fair to good - need to clean the glass thoroughly to prevent severe fogging.
Snorkel was not a bad dry snorkel for the price - did what it was supposed to.
Would recommend - saved the cost and hassle of renting equipment, plus you don't have to use some one else's snorkel.
BleaH!

WOW this is the BEST SNORKELING SET EVER. The lenses are glass, and they aren't connected in the middle, so these goggles are virtually unscratched and unbreakable( do not buy goggles who's glass lens is connected above the nose piece, it will shatter)

The snorkel is completely dry, it closes up when you dive down and opens up when you surface. Almost no purging required.

The glass lenses will fog up, so anti fog drops are highly recommended!

the mask and snorkel was great, however if your a female (we generally have smaller faces) or have narrow temples it will not fit. sadly the measurements aren't listed in the description. i would say i have a pretty average sized face though, i've never had a problem with goggles being too big before unless they were outright listed as LARGE, but these are supposed to be one size fits all. I returned these and ordered another version of the us diver masks that was listed specifically for women. it slightly cheaper but i've heard nothing but good reviews for it. hopefully those turn out better!

Have you ever rented a mask/snorkel on vacation? The state of the mask leaves something to be desired, and a quick look around at the others renting the same item should cause you some serious pause.

But there has to be something special, something professional, about the mask/snorkel you just rented, right? I mean, how did they just charge me $12 otherwise?

This product proves that I overpaid and that there is not enough cleaner in the world for me to ever rent again.

The mask held out water perfectly and did not fog easily. The underwater block in the snorkel pretty much operated as advertised, and when it did not a hard exhale pushed the collected water out of the one-way bladder in the bottom of the snorkel.

Great Snorkel! The fit was great, and the ultra dry system actually works! Great buy for the price.

I would definitely recommend this product to any one!
In regards to the seller, I received before the stipulated timeframe and they even sent me a hand written note on the back of a coupon (demonstrating they care and take the time to appreciate every customer).

Used this set once so far worked great - no leaks, no water down the tube)

If you are like me and are getting older you look for ways to inprove health and do exersize,my way is by doing laps at the pool everyday and this mask helps with keeping me focused and staying in longer for a better workout! It fits real well and can easily be ajusted,it bright and can be seen in dark or clear water. For the price this is a great set!!!!
