liquid skin by mares

[joematthews]

i've been reading on mares website about liquid skin, the two types of silicone on some of their goggles, has anybody used these and are they all that great?

there are some older threads on this subject (i think), but yes..and yes!
except for a couple of people that couldnt get a good fit in the liquid skin..they are GREAT masks, and the people who have them, love them..myself included. Very soft, very comfortable, good seal (at least on my face). No regrets on the cost...!

I'll second ABC!!! i'm unfortunately one of those people unable to get a good seal with the Liquid skin, and this despite the fact that my regular X-vision seals perfectly on my face (which just goes to show you really need to try on any mask you are going to buy!!!!). But the mask is incredibly comfortable. The silicone skirt is nice and soft and feels great on the skin. Too bad it's no good for me...

Definetly a great mask IF you try it on AND it fits you well!

Cheers!

I had the same problem. My X-vision is the best fitting mask I've ever had, but I tried the liquid skin, and had a problem with it sealing. Other than that, it looks like a great mask. It just doesn't come in all black.

I bought one because I couldn't get a good seal with the Atomic Frameless. I have a short beard and the liquidskin makes a better seal under my nose. I still get some water in the mask but it is much better than my Atomic. It is a really comfortable mask with good visibility. I would highly recommend it.

Just bought a liquid skin medium. It is my last hope for a good fitting mask, as I have tried a lot of them with no success. So far, no leaking on land. Let's see how it does in water.

I used one for a bit. A little small for my melon (but I gotta big melon). Too bad, it's a really comfortable mask.

Gave it to the wife and she loves it.

leaked on me, I thought that I had it to tight, loosened the strap a little for less squeeze. still leaked but not as much... I have old standard, take it as back up... comfy tho

Bought one, hated it. Leaked like Hel*. Returned it to ST. They were great about taking it back. Now own a tusa. Love it. No leaks at all.

Huh? Did they finally release a mid skirt liquidskin?
