A Mask Hunt

It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.
I was using the Cressi Occhio Plus over the summer:

(that's not me - I'm older and uglier)

Lovely mask, don't even notice equalising it. Never mists. Did have a rather random intermittent leak, but I blame that on my beard. I have quite a big face.
 
I ended up going with the Perla, in large part due to the price :D I figured, how could I go wrong? Thankfully, my gamble paid off. The Perla has a very similar field of vision as my Alien, but it was about 1/5 the price. I like it very much. Thanks for the feedback.

Ronnie, did you end up sorting out the leak?
 
Not really - just keep readjusting and retrying until I have seal - then I can dive repeatedly without issue. Doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason to it so quite sure it's the beard. Might try some vaseline on the skirt line next time.
