IST held nothing back when delivering the MP201 Proteus to the dive community! Simply one of the best masks IST has made to date. It performs as a mask should delivering quality performance with the feeling of luxury. This mask offers the fit every diver wants while balancing it with style and comfort. The soft hypoallergenic skirt is comfortable and thanks to the varied-thickness construction will not yield to increased pressure and depth. The nose pocket is also easily accessible despite glove thickness, a bonus for colder water divers wanting to maintain warmth.
The Proteus boasts a larger field of vision while maintaining a smaller internal volume for a low profile mask because the lenses are brought closer to the eyes. Additionally, IST offers divers with prescription needs, optical lenses, a bonus to see the amazing underwater world.
Fitting the mask is literally a cinch! With straps attached directly to the skirt and not the frame, the fitting is not only simple and quick but offers flexibility for any size facial profile. Overall a comfortable, simple, easy to use yet durable mask offered by IST. As a female diver concerned with overall appearance – this mask is certainly on my sexy mask list!!
