Ocean Reef Aris QR+ Size Guide

📏 Ocean Reef Aria QR+ Size Guide: Find Your Perfect Fit

Selecting the correct size for your Ocean Reef Aria QR+ full face snorkeling mask is essential for a comfortable, watertight, and safe snorkeling experience. A mask that is too small can be uncomfortable and restrict breathing, while a mask that is too large will leak.


How to Measure for Your Aria QR+ Mask

  1. Close Your Mouth: Keep your mouth naturally closed during the measurement.
  2. Locate the Measurement Points:
    • Starting Point: The indentation/hollow area between your eyebrows, just above the bridge of your nose.
    • Ending Point: The bottom of your chin.
  3. Measure the Distance: Using a ruler or a soft measuring tape, measure the straight-line distance (vertically) from the Starting Point to the Ending Point.

🧐 Testing Your Fit (The Vacuum Test)

Once you receive your mask, perform this simple test before entering the water to confirm you have a good seal:

  1. Position the Mask: Place the mask on your face without adjusting the straps.
  2. Inhale Sharply: Inhale quickly and deeply through your nose.
  3. Check the Seal:
    • ✅ Good Fit: The mask should temporarily suction to your face and stay in place without holding it, creating a perfect vacuum seal.
    • ❌ Poor Fit: If the mask does not suction or immediately falls off, air is leaking, and you likely need a different size.

Important Notes on Sizing

  • Facial Hair: Be aware that heavy beards or mustaches can prevent a full face mask from creating a necessary watertight seal, regardless of the size chosen. Shaving or trimming may be required for optimal performance.
  • Safety First: A properly sized mask is essential for the function of the dry top and purge valve systems. Always test the fit before use.
