What are the benefits of using a silicone skirt instead of a traditional rubber skirt on the Mares AQ Vento Mask?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your interest in the Mares AQ Vento Mask. The silicone skirt on our mask is a significant improvement over traditional rubber skirts. The main benefits of a silicone skirt include its improved flexibility, which allows for a more comfortable and secure fit on your face. Additionally, silicone is generally gentler on your skin compared to rubber, especially after extended use. Furthermore, silicone is also more resistant to degradation from exposure to cleaning agents and chemicals, making it a more durable option in the long run.
