Mares XRM-Classic Mask

Quick answer: This is a dive mask from Mares. Its maker describes it as fitting wider or larger faces, which puts it in our wide-fit picks.

Why bigger divers look at it

Most masks are built around an average face, which is why so many bigger divers end up cranking the strap to force a seal. A skirt made for wider faces can follow fuller cheeks and a broader nose bridge, so the mask seals evenly and stays comfortable through the whole dive.
