how is the seal on the masks for different size faces?

It took me a couple times snorkeling to get the straps set where it was comfortable and I got a good seal. My wife's fit great right off and didn't have to do much adjusting.

It worked fine for both myself and my wife. We both have different size faces..

Are you asking about a child's face or an adult's? For an adult, I'd say that the flange around the mask is soft enough and deep enough to fit most faces, but I'm not an expert on this, just a user. My previous experience is limited to SCUBA diving masks and the Army M17A1 gas mask. You might want to search the internet to see if there are any dive outlets near your location, where you can try on different gear.

The 6800 (medium) MAY work if you have a thin face and average head size for your body. I have an inch on you and a little more body weight with a thin face. I use the 6900 (large). My wife has a smaller build than you and uses the 6800. I tried my wife's 6800 and it was very uncomfortable. My 6900 is very comfortable. The mask has a soft perimeter contact with the skin and will adjust to your facial/neck features. Four strap adjustments can be easily snugged while having a degree of comfort. You need a good fit to prevent leakage, but you also need comfort. I believe I would opt for the 6900 (Large). Both use the same filters and mask protectors. By the way, don't forget the shield protectors-they are well worth the money. Let me know if I am right on this one. It may help others. Thanks.

the mouth and nostrils are open, it is what you see out of. It does not detract from the look of the mask, which I am very happy with.

Hi James! I just bought this recently and while I love it it's a bit of a tight fit. I have a medium sized head, and it's difficult to get the mask down to where you can really see anything. Also it's not really well ventilated. It's a great design though and really durable, but I fear that you might be out of luck if you really have a large head. I put mine on top of our coatrAck so it scares anyone who comes into the house. Hope this helps!

It isn't right up to your face so I guess it would depend on what kind of mask you have.

I bought a new mask frame and it now fits. It probably was time for an upgrade, although my old frame had nothing structurally or operationally wrong with it. My only complaint wasn't really about the product, but its display on the site. I just needed a little more information before I ordered. If you still want the flap number (on the new one or old one?), I can provide that later.

I have Multi purpose and Painter mask and fit the the mask. It works very well. For additional info call 1-888-672-4692 the MSA toll free information to all of your question. They are there to help you. I hope I have gave you all information Roland.

I doubt any mask will seal effectively a large mustached guy. The Cressi mask is an excellent one for field of view. However, in your case you may need to occasionally apply a little pressure to the top of the mask with your finger (while looking upwards) and blow some air through your nose to expel water when it seeps in. The price you have to pay for your manly looks ;)

I'm a big guy, and the mask fully protects my face. It is really cheap and not that comfortable. I ended up replacing it after a year with a higher quality mask.

This is a good mask, but everybody's face is different. If you have tried Cressi Masks in the past and they fit well I'd say you will be fine with this one. If you're not familiar with masks in general you should go to a dive shop and try on a few. They will help you get the right fit.

Personally I like these better than the 'formed' masks. The formed masks tend to move around a little more. The 9211 seems to stay in place better for me. Also, they are much easier to store or take with in a pocket as the are folded flat and in individual packages.

I'm sure this depends on how tight you keep the straps, but for me I keep them as loose as possible and they still seal well. Because they are not so tight and because they don't sit down in the eye sockets as much as a traditional speed goggle, they leave almost no marks on my face.

If it properly fits you, no mask is going to leak. Diving masks tend to be of slightly higher quality because they are meant for scuba diving. That said, make sure you get the appropriate mask for you. A good test is to put the mask over your face without the strap, then inhale through your nose and hold. If it sticks without having to pull in more air then it'll be fine. Personally - I loved this mask.

I had an older model for one year before I purchased this one . I have no trouble with it sealing ! Maybe people do not like it because they have to push down the "lock" before it will work ? Heaven's !! Not fully automatic ? LOL ! I love mine as do my nurse's and my aid's !

Small will be fine - "cure" the mask before you use it - warm it with a blow drier until the silicon is pliable then put in on your face firmly. Will form fit better with no leaks. The fins are adjustable, but be warned that the clips have tendency to fall apart or break rendering the fins useless.

Not sure, i think it would be ok since the masks seem to fit universally. if you need more info you can ask the manufacturer
