Review
The Tribord Subea Easybreath 500 is a great option for snorkelers looking for a well crafted full face snorkeling mask that is reliable and safe in the water. After testing the mask several times along with 10 other masks, we found that the Tribord Subea Easybreath 500 was one of the better full face snorkel mask models.
This newer model comes in a number of different colors and designs so that you can customize the mask the way you see fit. The Tribord Subea Easybreath 500 full face snorkel mask is comfortable, durable and stylish.
It is important to note that many people, including the author after having tested both masks, believe that the original Tribord Easybreath is a better version than this mask. This is because it is slightly more comfortable and durable than this full face snorkel mask model.
One of the main improvements from the original model that the Tribord Subea Easybreath 500 features, is the dry top release that minimizes the effect of waves blocking the snorkel and allows for continuous breathing even in harsher conditions.
A drawback of this model is that it has a long shape and for this reason, the mask lets in some water for people with rounder faces. This is something some of us experienced.
Features
Tribord Subea Easybreath 500 features a secure lock snorkel that helps to prevent detachment of the snorkel from the mask.
This full face snorkel mask facilitates natural breathing through the nose and mouth through a double chamber air vent valve that provides consistent fresh airflow. Tribord claims that effort on breathing is reduced by 20% with this newer model as compared to the original model.
The mask features an 180° viewing experience that will allow you to explore the underwater world with clarity.
Tribord has implemented their patented anti-fogging design into all their mask models and the Tribord Subea Easybreath 500 is no exception.
The elasticated textile straps that secure the mask to the snorkeler’s head are easily adjustable and do not get caught on long hair.
The XS size offers one of the most comfortable full face snorkel mask models for children aged 6 to 10.
Price/Quality Ratio
Due to the fact that this mask is imported from Europe, the price is relatively affordable at $90, meaning that the Tribord Subea Easybreath 500 has a weaker price to quality ratio.
The fact that this mask is durable and will last you a long time is of some consolation and a big reason why you should consider the Tribord Subea Easybreath 500 as a top option when looking to purchase a full face snorkeling mask.
