Arg....I got my mask when I used to live in Houston and now here I am 1000 miles away a couple months later with a broke mask

Guess its off to the trashcan for my xvision and time to give my $$ to a company who doesnt have problems like this they dont want to address...

Larry, Awesome! Mine did indeed come from you all, about this time last year. I'm going to order a backup anyway (and some other goodies too...). Does it make sense to do things "all at once" (replacement + new), or keep it separate?

Thanks!

I seen several Mares X-vision mask have cracked frames over here. Sent my own back to the distributor for replacement with no worries. I prefer the Tusa-m14 or the copies of that model as it fits my big head. I have the Cressi-Sub Big eyes also as a spare which is like the X-vision.

Another reason why I carry a spare, especially on dive trips.

I've been diving the XVision for close to two years, over 100 dives. It's now my backup, but I have no issues, and I carry it in a soft case.

Seem like the majority that are having issues have replaced the lenses.

Yikes, I'll have to go over mine tonight and look closely at the problem area. ST put in RX lenses for me, so presumably they did a good job, but better to double check just in case! Hopefully, if nothing is broken now, post-lens replacement, nothing will be wrong in the future?
