Genesis Icon Scuba Masks Review
In a sea full of options, it can be hard to know which mask is right for you. People also look for many things when choosing a mask, including color, type of lens, or shape of the mask. Among all of these reasons, we can all agree that one factor is key when choosing a mask—comfort. The Genesis Icon promises just that.
The Genesis Icon features a medium-width, 100% silicone, double feather-edged skirt along with a wide split-strap. Quick-disconnect buttons offer a fit that is not only perfect but also easy to adjust.
The Icon also has two teardrop-shaped lenses and a low-profile shape that lets it sit closer to the diver’s face, providing both comfort and increased vertical vision. Five available colors allow you to personalize your look.
The Genesis Icon is the perfect mask for divers who want something affordable and not too technical, but will get the job done just as well. Furthermore, the Icon is a great mask for new divers or recreational divers who don’t need any of the high-tech features associated with more expensive masks. Its user-friendly design and relatively low cost make it a solid mask, especially for beginners.
Let’s dive into an in-depth review of the Genesis Icon.
