I really like this snorkel. this is the first one i have purchased. Have used it several times and love it. I wish the " quick release holder" was smaller, because the goggle strap i use is very thin.
Works like a snorkel should, and doesn't have that terrible smell!
I use this snorkel for lap swimming 3-4 times weekly. It is my second one (of the same model) because I needed a backup for when I forget one at home. This item is comfortable and holds up to years of swimming in chlorine. I could not swim without it.
First time I've owned one... use it for when I'm doing kick board drills so I can focus on that and NOT on my breathing! Really helps. The snorkel does seem to be very well built and the mouthpiece is very comfortable. The piece to attach to my goggles is well designed. I've used it on three separate occasions so far.
Lets air in, keeps water out. I use it for swimming in an Endless Pool and it works stellar.
