Revainrating 1 out of 5

SUSPENDED Do not buy VAINCRE until you read this!

My colleague and I have purchased and reviewed all available full face masks. My mission is to find full face masks to introduce and educate hundreds of young people in Florida about the underwater world. When making such an important choice, don't just rely on reviews. After my colleague and I tested all 13 full face masks found at Revain, all but EasyBreath or Mares cause you to rebreath some of the expelled air due to a core design flaw. Due to low quality standards I found plastic residues in almost all masks (see photo) 8 brands (180ยฐ Sea View, Segmart, Vaincre, Jogoo, Ocean View, Light Snorkel, Octobermoon and Fnova) sell one and the same model, they all come from the same Chinese factory, with the same instructions and obviously the same defects. I had a hard time contacting the sellers as almost none have a website, they are all in China (except one). None of them appear up to h I have any history or experience in the scuba diving and sporting goods industry. Who can I contact if I have a problem? Model Review #2068 (G) (one review for all 8 brands because they are all the same mask...) Pros: 1 - It's cheap, $50-20 less than the Tribord Easybreath, dangerously cheap. Cons: 1 - IT LETS YOU BREATH THE EXHAUST AIR IN The exhalation port is only separated from the inhalation port by a thin, flexible layer of rubber (watch the video). So when you press your face against it, the layer moves and allows some CO2 to enter your breathing zone. It can cause CO2 poisoning, I suggest you check the symptoms on wikipedia, nobody wants that. I found some sea view reviews and others saying people get dizzy and dizzy, just found a scientific explanation. ) Most of the leftovers are in the breathing zone, to me that's an absolute NOT SUITABLE, I don't even understand how you can sell those in the US with the worst Chinese quality standards. Even more so when you have to take a deep breath in the water. 3-IT FOG Mask fogs up for the same reason you breathe in your own CO2. Due to the non-functioning air duct, the expelled moist air gets back onto the lens and causes it to fog up. 4-WATER CAN GET INTO THE SNORKEL The Vaincre brand (same model M2068G) came with a broken dry-top system, the small ball was split in half, if this happens while you are in the water you will inhale water . This has been reported. on many other reviews from Seaview, Segmart and Vaincre (haven't checked others' reviews, too tired to keep seeing the same thing) Jigga_drs July 10th had the exact same surprise with Segmart. The downside is that the camera mount is too high for me to take good pictures, it raises the camera above the water too often and requires you to tilt your head to keep it underwater. The camera stream is certainly not critical, but 4 other downsides are serious security issues
