I am giving this 4 stars right out of the box.  I haven't used it yet but it feels like it will be a reliable product.  I got the mask on & sealed very quickly - tight but more comfortable than rental equipment from past snorkels.  The fins are comfortable & I like the shortness.  I've gotten the full size when renting & they felt too big in less than 35 ft.  Anxious to try these out!  Bought for cruise to Bahamas & Destin, FL trips.  Have rented in the past thinking "they surely sanitize between customers" - NOT!

I wear a size 8 shoe and am small framed. Everything fiit great and is quality . I like the short fins for traveling but you do have to use a bit more effort to get around.

- Purchased to snorkel in the ocean surrounding Kauai, KI.
- Fins are compact & require some kick to move, but work well enough. Snorkel, in another  U.S. Diver's set, worked perfectly, as did goggles.
- Upon unpacking the goggles in this set, the outter plastic rim was unsecured & this lead to immediate leaking upon use. The top of the snorkle fell off in the water and even the U.S. Diver logo started peeling off. Very cheap set.

I didn't see anywhere in the description that this is a mask for a female snorkeler (but when it arrived it was clearly marked a FEMALE SIZE MEDIUM).. women and men have differently shaped heads therefore there are differently shaped masks to ensure a water tight seal.  I bought this mask and wore it while snorkeling in Anguilla last week and it leaked constantly.  Thankfully, the resort had a set of masks for men that I was able to borrow and snorkel to my heart's content.  This set, however, was a total waste of money that I will try to return.

Fins were comfortable - shorter size was easy to walk in compared to typical fins.  I bought these for my son as he has a high arch and in the past he has refused to wear fins because they hurt - I ordered dive socks but he was equally comfortable with or without - very soft on the top of the foot.  He has a narrow foot, mine is wide - they were comfortable for both of us.  So nice to have a fully dry snorkel for diving, especially for kids or those of us who hate to constantly purge our snorkels.  I love the color, bag is nice also.

The fins are great, fit into a suitcase better than the longer styles and with the wide fin - they go FAST!
The mask fits a woman's face well as long as you don't laugh under water and the snorkel works perfectly.

Great deal for a trip to Hawaii.  I'll use this again in the future many times over.  LOVE the dry snorkel.  Only complaint is the short flippers don't give nearly as much oomph as the usual long ones, but packing them is way nicer.
