Aqua Seal Mask Review
Reviewed by: Dave Nielsen
Aqual Seal Masks are a different kind of swim goggle. Instead of
tight lenses that fit in your eye sockets, Seal Masks are closer
to a scuba diving mask, providing a much more comfortable fit and
a wider field of vision.
Some pros complain that the Seal Mask goggle isn't as hydrodynamic
as they'd like, so Aqua Sphere has come out with the new lower-profile
Seal XP.
The Seal Mask has:
- Dive-quality silicone skirt provides
comfortable, watertight fit
- 100% UVA and UVB protection
- Patented Plexisol lens optics provide
superior 180-degree visibility
- Anti-fog coating
The Seal Mask Comes in four lens types
and multiple frame colors:
Clear
Good for swimming indoors or in low light situations.
Tinted
Good while swimming outdoors or in bright light.
Mirrored
Also good while swimming outdoors or in bright light situations.
Amber
Best all-around lens for a variety of situations by enhancing
available light.
This is the swim mask that I use for daily training and in competition.
It fits my face pretty well (I have kind of a longer face, instead
of round) and I don't have problems with leaking. I do struggle
at times in keeping the goggles from fogging up on longer swims,
however.
The Seal Mask goggles have a much bigger surface area than normal
goggles, and might explain why they seem to have more of a problem
with fogging. To solve this problem, I find that if I use anti-fog
spray regularly they don't fog up until about 60 minutes into a
swim.
