 - Great Snorkel SetI purchased this set for my 11 year old son for his birthday right before our vacation to Nags Head. It fit him well with room to grow (he's average sized). He's used it a lot in the ocean and at home in the pool. The goggles seal well and the snorkel stays dry. I feel like we got our money's worth, I just wish it had come with a storage bag like the Jr. sets I bought for my daughters.U.S. Divers Cozumel Mask, Seabreeze Dry Snorkel, and Proflex II Fin Snorkeling Set - Perfect for a trip or recreational snorkeling!We recently purchased two sets of these for a trip to Maui. After reading several reviews here on Amazon, I too was worried about the quality of the fins and reported leakage and breakage problems with the masks. My wife and I used both sets with excellent results! We had some initial minor leaking on my wife's mask and discovered some of her hair was trapped in the seal. We cleared the hair and no more leaking (if you have any facial hair around the seal areas on the face, a little applied vaseline will help with the seal#. The fins held up very well and did a fine job. Fogging may be eliminated with spit. I suggest checking out the tips section on the US Divers website. Additional comments: 1) This is not a professional set. Perfect for the yearly vacation or recreational use. 2) This set is easily packed in a large suitcase and also a beach bag, but a travel bag would have been nice. There are more expensive travel sets sold that fill this void. 3) The fins held up just fine, even around rough coral and lava fields. I accidentally left two of the fins on the top of the rental car and they fell off the roof at 30+MPH. No damage or cracking even then and we used them later that day. Follow the sizing charts listing on the sale page and also in other reader's reviews. 4) Try on the fins and pre-fit the snorkel and mask before you get into the water. It's easier. 5) We saved the original boxes for storage and will pack away inside until next year. This should insure additional trouble-free trips. If you're about to take a vacation, don't even think about renting snorkel gear. We saw several sets of rental equipment during our trip and they were the most basic sets available, not to mention in very used condition. Quality of this set is FAR SUPERIOR to all of the basic rental equipment we saw at dive shops and at the same price as a one week rental (not to mention sanitary concerns)! You will be happy you spent the money on your own set.  - poor fins, terrible maskthe fins are too flexible to provide much power, the mask fits terribly and leaked constantly. I used them once and returned them. - works greatAbout once a year I make a trip to clearer waters. I usually spend a few hours snorkling each day for a week or so. The mask may be a little limited peripherally. With a hard exhale the water build up can be easily cleared from the snorkel purge. Fins fit comfortably. For the avg user, most masks are twice the price of this entire set. At one resort a single day rental was more than purchasing this set. I was quite impressed with the results, especially considering the price. Glad to have my own travel set.  - Size chart confusionBeware of confusion regarding the women's sizes on this item. I wear a size 9.5 shoe so based on the size chart in the product description, I ordered the Med/Lrg size. But when I got the gear in the mail, the box indicated that the Med/Lrg size was a women's 6-7.5 which would be too small for me. I scheduled a return for the item. I didn't want to open the box and risk not being able to return it for a refund. But some confusing comments on the review of this item caused me to take a second look. I did try the fin on and it did fit!! So....long story short, the size chart listed in the product description appears to be correct, but don't be surprised when you get the item in the mail if it looks like you got the wrong size. Try it on first to see. Hopefully this will save someone some time and frustration.
