“Disappointed”

“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.”
