We certainly have a lot of different mask models in our inventory. Many of them are much alike, with the exception of slight styling and color differences. Recently, we added a mask that certainly seems to be a little different. The Tilos Excel frameless mask follows the late market trend of masks with the glass lenses molded directly into the skirt. These frameless masks result in a much lower profile than is possible with standard frame masks and the direct connection of the strap anchor to the mask skirt improves comfort and fit. The Tilos Excel features the tear-drop lens shape so popular with masks released in the past several years. The wider bottom on the lens makes it much easier to see down when diving. Tilos has also taken the same concept to the area of the lens just above the eyebrows…expansion in size that results in a wider field of vision when glancing up. In a recent issue of their diving industry publication, Scuba Diving magazine said this about the Tilos Excel frameless mask…..

Quoting Scuba Diving Magazine: “The Tilos Excel was the big surprise of this review. It had one of the widest fields of view and a budget-friendly price. With a wide bottom and teardrop shapes below the eyes, the lens favors downward viewing, great for finding belts and buckles on a BC. The top narrows at the temples but has high eyebrows that help when looking up. It all adds up to a combined vertical range of 75 degrees, the same vertical field of view as the two Atomic masks in this review. Bonus: The upper and lower corners of the mask have a tread-like texture that helps wet hands grip the mask when donning and doffing.”

Since adding this mask to our online offerings, the sales have been brisk. Reports back from customers say that this mask is more comfortable than other models, offers a much wider range of view in all directions, and that the skirt is much more comfortable and seals “like it is glued on to my face”, to quote a recent caller. At our low price of only $37.88, the Tilos Excel mask is an unusual value for such a high-quality piece of equipment.
