Where to buy

A classic full face snorkel mask, the Tribord Easybreath is a reliable and well tested mask. It’s the 1st generation Tribord Easybreath full face snorkel mask followed by a newer model, the Tribord Subea Easybreath 500.

The Tribord Easybreath full face snorkel mask is popular thanks to its budget friendly pricing. The shatterproof polycarbonate window ensures the mask is durable and heavy-duty, however, it remains lightweight. Excellent for travelling.

The main disadvantage of this mask is that due to its shape it sometimes lets water into the mask. This is easily removed using the purge valve which removes any water which has found its way into the mask.

Reliable, comfortable and durable, the Tribord Easybreath Full Face Snorkel Mask is an excellent choice for those who are trying full face snorkel masks for the first time.

It’s difficult to go to a beach in Europe where there isn’t one of the Tribord full face snorkel masks. Popular and comfortable with a wide variety of sizes, the Tribord Subea Easybreath Full face snorkel mask is an excellent choice for beginners to advanced snorkelers.

Features

Tribord Subea Easybreath 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.

The mask features an 180° viewing experience that will allow you to explore the underwater world with clarity. There’s almost no distortion at the edges.

Tribord has implemented their patented anti-fogging design into all their mask models and the Tribord Subea Easybreath is no exception.

The lasticated 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 has a weaker price to quality ratio.

The fact that this mask requires little maintenance and will last you a long time is of some consolation and a big reason why you should consider the Tribord Subea Easybreath as a top option when looking to purchase a full face snorkeling mask.

I have had an easibreath snorkel mask since Decathlon first brought them out 8 years ago. I have just had to replace it and find the new version not as good; for the following reasons;
The straps broke after less than 1 month of use;
It fills with water around the mouth;
It lets in far more water than my previous one;
It fogs up;
It is not as robust.
I am very sad that this product does not stand up against the former which was good in all the above aspects. The only good thing about the new one is that the breath tube does have a better fit so it doesn’t detach itself.
Please go back to the old design.
