We received a story about a male customer who had purchased a snorkel mask from an online store a few months before his tropical holiday. He had tested the mask in a pool and was initially happy with the fit. However, about a week before his trip, he called to report that the mask was now leaking badly.
After the store walked him through some basic troubleshooting steps without identifying the issue, they invited him to visit their store in Rye, Victoria. The moment he arrived, the problem became clear: he had grown a bushy mustache since his original pool test.
For those unfamiliar, snorkel and dive masks seal against the face along the area between the upper lip and nose, and across the cheekbones. Any disruption to this seal—like facial hair—can lead to water leaking into the mask. Of all facial hair, a mustache is the most likely to interfere, since beards typically don’t extend high enough to affect the skirt’s seal.
There are a few solutions to this problem... With #3 being our #1 solution.
1) Shave your moustache.
2) Use a food-grade silicone grease - requiring continuous applications.
3) Apply Snorkel Seal® Moustache Barriers. Where you'll get no goopy-greasy mess. No damage to mask skirting. No harm to marine life. And best of all... You rescue your mustache!
