"Aside from using these for scuba, they also work wonderfully for white water rafting, and even just walking around/to the boat between dives or can even be used for paddle boarding."
"To be fair, I have not taken these out on the water yet, but as far as fit, I wear a 9 in mens, so that is the size I ordered."
"Pretty sturdy soles and material around the toes and heel (moreso than the Mares Rubber Sole Classic boots I've tried in comparison), and the length seemed fine for my size 9 shoes, but it felt a little loose around the ankles and sides o the feet unfortunately, which only feels looser once you get water in it."
"They are comfortable for a 3 hours tubing river excursion. I have no idea what footwear works great on wet, algae covered rocks, but these are at least ok."
"I bought them for wearing on the beaches for metal detecting, since they have a puncture proof layer in the sole I feel very safe wearing them."
"I bought the pair that are a half size bigger than I wear in shoes and they are a great fit."
"If you are my size you will definitely get water inside and they will get heavy and constantly be having to empty them when you switch between aquatic and terrestrial environments."
The Mares low cut tropic boot is great for snorkeling, warm water scuba diving or around slippery swimming pool decks.The ribbed soles are vulcanized rubber. 2mm nylon II neoprene.

"They're a bit too short but since i'm wearing these booties mostly as foot protection in open-healed fins, that doesn't bother me because my toes are pointing down when I'm swimming. If I was planning on doing a lot of walking in these, I wouldn't be very happy. However, I don't have the sensation that these are dragging me down."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Also, you might need to have some kind of lubricant on hand to help some of these pieces to fit together more easily, a metal file, and you might have to (as I did) get some extra bolts that have a screw slot on the head instead of the round headed bolts that come with the unit. Take the shorter curved tube (part#2) and insert it into the square rubber piece (part#3). Next take the long tube (part#1) and insert it into the rubber part from the other side. NOTE: part#1 and part#2 have male/female endings so one tube slides into the other. Before you begin to put the bolts in place, you have to fit the large metal plate (part#4) snugly against the bottom of the rubber part#3. In my case, several of the bolts would not seat properly as they were supposed to, so that when it came tome to tighten down the nut on the bottom, the bolt's head would not "grab" into the square hole of plate #4 and the bolt would simply turn without tightening. The bolt heads are round (yes they look good, but...) and so there was no other way to keep the bolt from turning while I was trying to ratchet the nut from the bottom. Later after these are all bolted in place you can insert the two longer bolts (part#8) into the middle holes. Once the bolts are all inserted and the nuts tightened down (If your experience is like mine, you'll really enjoy this part) you are practically done with that part of the assembly that only has to be done once. You slide the narrow metal bracket (part#5) with the concave side facing the bottom of the larger metal plate and attach the wing-nuts (part#7), just to keep all the parts together."
"I needed some racks to haul my kayaks, so I went to a local big box store, and found a set of J-Racks for about $80 (a few cents less), plus tax. They work like a charm, hold securely at highway speeds, and do what they should do. I'm only going to gig my rating because of the length of the straps, and the lack of front and rear tie downs. Some have said (and there's a good Youtube video showing it) to put the blocks in boiling water to soften them up. I was about to do that, but I didn't feel like digging out the pot and firing up the stove (besides, with my luck I'd burn myself). The blocks are stiff, but you can pry them open while put the tubes in; it's really not that hard. (A ratchet box wrench is a great tool for assembly and mounting.). I can't vouch for round or square cross bars, but they work great on the Rola 59836 Hyundai Tucson Cross Bar I've got on my Tucson. They're wide, and not real thick, and the J-rack clamps tighten down just fine."

Find Best Price at Amazon"From the reviews online I could not see the pros and cons of this mask versus the standard clear mouth type full face mask. --------------- The Seaview 180 Panoramic: ---------------. This mask is for the user looking for the panoramic view. Pro: Panoramic View; Truly panoramic. Price; better than the Tribord. Looks; mask looks the most traditional in my opinion. GoPro Mount; Good for those not wanting to hold their GoPro. Bag; Nice mesh bag. Cons: Demagnification; objects feel slightly farther away. Panoramic viewing might cause some people to feel dizzy after extended use. Quality; The quality is good by itself but when compared to the Tribord, the materials and construction is of lesser quality. --------------- Seaview 180 Snorkel (Clear Mouth Area) ---------------. This mask is the "standard/original" full face mask. This mask is well built but as with the Seaview Panoramic, when compared to the Tribord Mask, Tribord takes the cake for overall quality. Cons: Quality; The quality is good by itself but when compared to the Tribord, the materials and construction is of lesser quality. Every full face mask is so much better than a traditional snorkel set up but the Tribord all around is the best. Bag; Comes with a very nice mesh bag. Cons: Price. No GoPro; this is a pro for me because I prefer to hold my GoPro. No "true" Panoramic viewing. If I was purchasing these individually without comparing them, they all would get a 10/10."
"We've bought and replaced the typical-style snorkels several times due to all of those annoying issues that seems to go along with them (flimsy, leaky masks, breakage in the breathing apparatus, etc). We were even able to communicate without all the flailing hand gestures ;) Granted, you're still under water so it's difficult to hear, but since your nose and mouth are both free, it's relatively easy to talk. We definitely got a lot of strange looks, and you'll feel like a huge nerd with this giant astronaut-style facemask with big ol' straps on the the back of your head, but the ease of use and quality of the mask will make you super happy you sacrificed traditional masks and "style", I promise ;) Also, be prepared to have a big red ring around your face after prolonged use (don't worry, it fades quickly and it doesn't hurt)."
"The chin adjustment straps loosen up over a short time allowing the seal to break and the mask to leak. Use colgate toothpaste to cover the inside of the mask and let it sit until your next trip...then rinse it out....your mask will never fog up again. Set the straps where you need them and safety pin them or even use a paper clip to keep them in place for a good seal that will stay."

When our son used it it got foggy quicker. * can completley submerge mask and snorkel under the water and come back up without any water getting in the mask. * The Mask fit myself and my wife as well as our seven year old and 4 year old. * mask can be used without the snorkel but it is just an open hole so you should stay near the surface. * fins are fully adjustable and have little loops on the straps for ease-of-use. * if your feet are too long your toes can stick out the front a little. * set comes with a mesh bag for the mask and snorkel."

Find Best Price at Amazon"The package arrived on schedule [same day Amazon said it would] and the first thing I noticed was how light the set was. I have a fairly large head, and the silicon adjustable straps work and stretch amazing well. I'm a men's size 10.5 and there was still lots of room to adjust bigger, or way smaller if needed. I bought the first set for my Lovely wife [she's a women's size 9.5] and they fit her nicely also. I mainly bought the set for the snorkel as it's very comfortable and has the flex hose so it adjusts wherever you need it. Just buying a dive snorkel alone costs around $20-$30 so I scored big time."
"Overall, this was a good snorkel set, but I can't give it five stars. They were nice and portable (we were able to pack all three sets in a rollaboard suitcase). We dove underwater frequently to see additional wildlife and it wouldn't let any water in. They did let a little water in under the nose over time, but I understand that's to be expected (mostly due to laughing or smiling underwater :) ). My piece of plastic fell off at some point and I had to feed the mask strap through the connector as a workaround. These are going to feel more secure, be easier to get on and off, and give you a bit more piece of mind in case you hit a sharp rock."
"On top of that on the first day the mask clip broke on the USD snorkel which meant I had to hold it upright with one hand to use it. Perhaps if I would have had bigger fins I would have understood what reviewers that complained about the size were talking about, but since I didn't have that comparison to make I was quite satisfied. As with many things one's expectations no doubt play a role in whether one will be satisfied with a product and I don't mean to suggest that this is anything more than a vacation snorkel set, but for that purpose its perfect."

Find Best Price at Amazon"The other one is a small EDC flashlight, from Orcatorch and I love it, so I already knew I could expect a quality product. The D520 has all the marks of a quality flashlight: -The finish is very good, no uneven, crude surfaces, cheap materials, etc. In general I notice that the attention to small details (like including some spare o-rings) is something that often is absent with really cheap flashlights. It doesn’t have a switch (which is something that could always potentially break) and instead relies on twisting the head of the flashlight to turn it on and off. A lot of people don’t realize that rubber needs oil or lubricants just as much as leather and other products. You can still use it as a normal flashlight for a short amount of time as long as you hold it in your hand. If you need to drain the battery so that you can fully charge it, just turn the flashlight on and put in a basin full of water like I did. One thing to keep in mind though is that the human eye perceives warm lights as less bright than cold lights, so with the same lumen output a cold LED will seem brighter than a warm LED."

Spend less time worrying about water in your mask and more time snorkeling! SURFACE SNORKELING- Our full face snorkel mask is designed to optimize surface snorkeling experiences.

Find Best Price at Amazon"From the reviews online I could not see the pros and cons of this mask versus the standard clear mouth type full face mask. --------------- The Seaview 180 Panoramic: ---------------. This mask is for the user looking for the panoramic view. Pro: Panoramic View; Truly panoramic. Price; better than the Tribord. Looks; mask looks the most traditional in my opinion. GoPro Mount; Good for those not wanting to hold their GoPro. Bag; Nice mesh bag. Cons: Demagnification; objects feel slightly farther away. Panoramic viewing might cause some people to feel dizzy after extended use. Quality; The quality is good by itself but when compared to the Tribord, the materials and construction is of lesser quality. --------------- Seaview 180 Snorkel (Clear Mouth Area) ---------------. This mask is the "standard/original" full face mask. This mask is well built but as with the Seaview Panoramic, when compared to the Tribord Mask, Tribord takes the cake for overall quality. Cons: Quality; The quality is good by itself but when compared to the Tribord, the materials and construction is of lesser quality. Every full face mask is so much better than a traditional snorkel set up but the Tribord all around is the best. Bag; Comes with a very nice mesh bag. Cons: Price. No GoPro; this is a pro for me because I prefer to hold my GoPro. No "true" Panoramic viewing. If I was purchasing these individually without comparing them, they all would get a 10/10."
"We've bought and replaced the typical-style snorkels several times due to all of those annoying issues that seems to go along with them (flimsy, leaky masks, breakage in the breathing apparatus, etc). We were even able to communicate without all the flailing hand gestures ;) Granted, you're still under water so it's difficult to hear, but since your nose and mouth are both free, it's relatively easy to talk. We definitely got a lot of strange looks, and you'll feel like a huge nerd with this giant astronaut-style facemask with big ol' straps on the the back of your head, but the ease of use and quality of the mask will make you super happy you sacrificed traditional masks and "style", I promise ;) Also, be prepared to have a big red ring around your face after prolonged use (don't worry, it fades quickly and it doesn't hurt)."
"The chin adjustment straps loosen up over a short time allowing the seal to break and the mask to leak. Use colgate toothpaste to cover the inside of the mask and let it sit until your next trip...then rinse it out....your mask will never fog up again. Set the straps where you need them and safety pin them or even use a paper clip to keep them in place for a good seal that will stay."

"I have my glock 23 gen4 with two mags in it perfectly but can fit another one in there making it 3 mags."
"Everything short of bulletproof."
"Length is not a problem at all; however, the rear sights and the bottom of the grip will intrude slightly into the solid foam area surrounding the pick-and-pluck foam."
"It was a tight fit, but I managed to carve out enough foam to fit the Shield, 2 mags, and a small 25round box of ammo.Everything had at least a bit of foam padding in-between."
"The lock on the case is solid. Overall it's a great solid case!"
"I bought this because I'm flying to another state, and will be transporting my pistol via the airline. Saw some great reviews about this on YouTube and online, and from friends so I thought it was worth a shot. The strip away 'blocks' were easy to remove and if needed you can replace them back (they just wont be as secure). I could have cut the shape out with a sharp knife, but didn't feel it was necessary."
"Fits my Yamaha MG-06X 6-channel mixer, wall wart, and patch cable perfectly with zero space left over."

"There is no side handle for lifting so if you are short it is difficult to get it up into a small plane."
"The material, zippers, etc are comparable to other brands as Mares, Cressi (my last bag was a Mares) and it was a hard call considering I knew what I had and moving to a new product, read mountains of reviews and pulled the trigger."
"If your packing JUST your gear in this bag it is actually a bit overkill and I could see using something much smaller and lighter, but as a one bag fits all it's great. My reason for 4 and not 5 stars is based simply on the Weight and Size of the bag, I'm not a big guy, so I believe they could have cut down the bag size by a Quarter or so and easily fit most peoples dive gear and still had room for other things."
"Good spacious bag."
"I shopped long and hard to find a large dive bag that would accomodate my dive gear and clothes for a dive trip to the Philippines. THIS BAG WAS ONLY GOOD FOR ONE TRIP!!!"
"I have used my bag 4 times and the retractable handle mechanism has parted from the rest of the bag."
"4 people I know got this bad included me.3 of them falling apart.straps survive 3 trips.fins pockets rip off after 7 trips.and on top of that this thing is heavy so 50 on limit is rough to hold on the way back from diving.dont waist he time and look for better bag divers."

"I got the two pack and use it on my kids goggles as well and they never remove goggles now during practice."
"That’s a dilemma to swim during the winter and the heated pool after about an hour passes my goggles just Stay foggy but This product really cleared it up."
"Note: you still need to make sure you properly clean a new mask to remove the silicone from the factory, otherwise, nothing will keep the mask from fogging."
"This is the first time I have used defoger."
"Even brand new goggles can get a little foggy and this spray keeps things nice and clear for a while."
"Also based on other reviews I ordered the 3-bottle set instead of 1 bottled to test."
"I had to rinse the mask so much that it washed out all the spray and the mask would fog. My husband was able to use it if he was careful to spray just a little, wipe it around and then dunk the mask in water once. Do not rinse (which I did without thinking after using the Spit stuff and had to restart). Worked even better than the spit stuff not including the stinging eyes. I mean, really, if the people who go snorkeling and scuba diving every day in Maui, HI haven't even heard of this quick spit spray stuff before (none had, I asked), then it can't be but so good."
