Does anybody have experience with this mask? It has 6 windows: 2 front, 2 sides, and 2 bottom. The reviews I've dug up mention the frame cracking and leaking, at least on the older ones. Apparently Mares has done an upgrade to fix the problems.

Not personally, but I'm not a big fan of 6 window masks in general. They seem to have a lot of volume and I find that having light coming in from all those directions to be a distraction. I'm a black skirt kinda guy myself (no comments from the peanut gallery ;) ).

I had constant frame craking issue years ago. Purchased a Scuba Pro frameless, and like the field of vision better. However it has it own problems. I have had two that delaminated now. replace warrentee - but everything has a pro and con.

What interests me is the bottom windows. I wear bifocals and am using stick-on "gague readers", which work OK but screw up my lower field of vision when I'm just looking straight ahead. It seems like prescription bifocal lenses would have the same problem. Putting gague readers or prescription lenses in the bottom windows could be a solution.
Or maybe I just have too much free time to sit around and think up stuff like this.......:cool:
