Is the silicone skirt on this mask suitable for people with sensitive skin? I usually have irritation issues after long dives.

Hi Mei Ling, the Mares AQ Radar Mask features a hypoallergenic silicone skirt designed to minimize skin irritation, even for those with sensitivities. If you have any concerns, we recommend trying a short dive first to ensure comfort.
Rajesh Nair –
I like the quick-adjust buckles—super easy to handle even with thick gloves. Only wish the lens was available in a prescription option.
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your useful feedback, Rajesh. We’re glad you find the buckles convenient! At the moment, this mask does not have a prescription lens option, but we’ll pass your suggestion to our product team.
