Well, lemme just say one word; WOW.
Now, these pics aren't the greatest because I can't take pics inside and get good lighting to save my rear, so tomorrow, I'll get good close-ups in the daylight.
But, so i can sleep well tonite (LOL), here it is:
It would be very very difficult to critique this mask, but I have three little things:
#1. the mouth has the typical frown as seen on the Don Post Deluxe. I thought that was remedied on people's new molds. It's not as bad as the DP though, least I think so.
#2. The mask is a really, really tight fit on my head. I have a pretty good sized noggen, so it might fit others ok....but I have no room and it pulls my ears when I take it off. I have one of those hoodie things coming from scuba, so that ought to help.
#3. The helmet-to-mask fastening system. They way it is designed, leaves the bolts exposed and they dig into my scalp. I'll have to put a piece of foam on top of my head or sumthing.
But, the pro's outweigh the con's tremendously. I love all the trinkets on the mask. The paint job is totally awesome. I have YET to find a spec of dirt in the paint. No pits or scratches inthe fiberglass. The attention to detail is quite extreme on this mask that my words and pics do not do it justice.
And to boot, Manuel was great to to deal with. Quick email replies. Good character. And DHL even went the extra step to get me my package. I wasn't home to sign....went out to the facility around 4:40pm expecting to wait for the driver to come back after 5 and they called him to make a special trip back just to give me my box....and I didn't even ask them to. Talk about impress me.
Can't wait to take more pics tomorrow to show ya'll the quality.
Cheers
