      I could be wrong,but it sounds to me like his/your mask won’t have a nose piece. Unless I’m wrong about what frameless means in this context.

          I could be wrong,but it sounds to me like his/your mask won’t have a nose piece. Unless I’m wrong about what frameless means in this context.

          typically a frameless mask in the scuba/dive community means a single plate of glass with a single sealing skirt of rubber attached to it around its perimeter.  The frame in this context is typically used when multiple pieces of glass are used and joined to create a mask in which the sealing skirt is then attached to the frame. Both have nose pieces. There is the chance though that he's talking about something else, so I offer to be corrected.

          Frameless masks are a bit "softer" feeling in the skirt, have a lower volume (easier to clear), and have better field of view.  Framed masks are more durable, can accommodate prescriptions, and provide a stiffer feeling seal, which can on occasion both hurt and help depending on the fit and such.

              @pechelman Thank you so much for the detailed explanation. It’s been a while since I dove and I’m definitely out of the loop on current gear. A friend has a full over the face mask with no nose piece,and that’s what I was thinking it might be.

                I remember seeing a 20% socks promo on the IH instagram story. Is this still valid, and is it applicable to all socks or just the IH ones?

                Edit: Never mind, answered my own question 🙂

                  In just over two weeks I should be enjoying the warm waters of the Caribbean.  My question is:  Is there a trick or method to ensure a good seal on my dive mask without shaving the moustache/beard off?  I’m using a silicone frameless mask…

                  Appreciate any help and advice.  🙂

                      In diving, if you can't fix it with o-rings, duck tape or vaseline then you're in the wrong game

                          Oh yeah, those are useful too, so long as you have a divers pair - one to use, one to lose

                            I’m never going diving or boating with either of you two alone (or maybe in a group).  Zip ties, duct tape, o-rings, and Vaseline… 😃 😃

                            Thanks for the tips guys, and also for making me just a little less trusting of sailors and divers. 🙂

                                      Anyone know what this flight jacket is, and where I can find the specs? It’s definitely Iron Heart, and looks sort of like an L-2B. Was this ever brought over from Japan, [mention]Giles [/mention] ? TIA
