OK, proportions probably aren't too different from mine. Now here comes the personal questions What size head do you have?

Cheers, Bryan

Hehehe... not sure where to measure.
end of one eyebrow to the end of the other is about 14cm... skirt on the mask is 12cm to inner part of seal and 14cm overall, skirt gets a bit wider as it presses down too... lens part is wider at around 15-16cm

That's a very helpful measurement, thanks - the 12cm skirt matches a scuba mask I have which fits me fine, but my Superocchio is about 10.5cm, so that would explain why that feels small.

Guess I'll give the Star a whirl and find out. If it doesn't fit I'll try the Omer Alien, or the Technisub Micromask, or the Beuchat Minimask, or the Occhio Plus, or ... aaaargh! Or I'll wait till I do the SETT course and steal everyone's mask to try.

Cheers

Hey Salibandy, thanks for the info about the Alien having a larger nose pocket, I was planing on getting one soon and you've now sealed the deal.

No p. You're most welcome. I hope you do try it out before you purchase it though, cause it might fit differently. You never know yea?

The Star Liquidskin came today. I won't get to try it in the water and check for leakiness for a couple of weeks, but it seems a good fit, and I'm pretty impressed with the liquidskin - really comfy on the face, leaves no marks when you take it off, and the flexibility of the nose pocket makes equalising a lot easier than any other mask I've used. Seems a good buy so far!
