By lunchbox from Tri Cities, Washington on 08/17/2009 Pros: Easy To Carry, Fins run true to size, Fins tightenloosen well, Snorkel clears easily Describe Yourself: Recreational Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This product is a good deal for the price you pay. Nothing too fancy for beginners, but performs well.
I use them in our pool, as well as lakes. You have good vision through the mask, the tempered glass makes everything nice and clear.
The only "con" I have noticed is that the closure of the mask, below the nose, can leak a little. But technique can take care of that.
By Joe the swimmer from ann arbor, Michigan on 08/08/2009 Describe Yourself: Recreational Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Note: I actually got the extrema II professional, which I think is simply the new version of this. I'm assuming everything still applies.
I was wondering why this cost 2x as much as the U.S. Divers model, and hoped it was consequently better made. However, I really don't think it is, and it's significantly less comfortable. The facemask doesn't fit larger faces well, and the hard plastic section presses into the bridge of your nose (and cramps your nostrils). The fin straps are difficult to adjust. And the clip that attaches the snorkle to the mask presses uncomfortably into the side of your head. (And is very difficult to adjust/use.)
Not sure why a set that costs twice as much as a cheaper competitor ends up being more poorly made. I'm very disappointed -- I wanted to like this b/c I like the color scheme better than the boring blue U.S. Divers colors -- wish they still made the cool yellow-green model from 2005.

By KNKTRAVELS from Durango, co on 06/30/2009 Describe Yourself: Recreational Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Haven't tried them out yet. Didn't need the fins, but the whole package was less than just buying the snorkel & Mask. Really hoping they hold up, they have to make it thru 3 trips out of the country for snorkeling this year! 2009
By The fisherman from traverse city, michigan on 06/25/2009 Describe Yourself: Recreational Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: It appears to be of good quality. I haven't used it yet.
By Hawaiian adventurer from Walla Walla, WA on 05/04/2009 Pros: Easy To Carry, Strong Material, Tight Closure, Waterproof Describe Yourself: Beginner Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Read the other comments about the closures on the fins not staying on, but that was not our experience. They stayed secure and we went out a number of times to observe the exotic sealife. Worked great for us! Price was right too since they were on closeout.
By The wonderful guy next door from Tampa, FL on 04/27/2009 Pros: Easy To Carry, Strong Material Describe Yourself: Recreational Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Great Bargain- will use occasionally.
By rmq11 from Conway, AR on 08/12/2008 Pros: Overall good product Cons: Poor heal strap design Describe Yourself: Recreational Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought 5 sets and so far we have lost two heal straps. They do not lock into position and rely strictly on tension to stay on. Very poor heal strap connection design in my opinion.
By Ann from Kerrville, TX on 07/14/2008 Pros: Easy To Carry, Good Capacity, Strong Material, Tight Closure, Waterproof Describe Yourself: Beginner Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Great value. Well made and well designed. My daughter reports the swim fins were awesome.
