- As with your sunglasses, avoid letting your Easybreath come into contact with sand. Sand will scratch your mask window.
- If sand gets in, don’t press too hard to clip the snorkel in place. Rinse the snorkel and mask before fitting them together.
- Sand can also clog up the floater in the snorkel. Rinse the snorkel vigorously or use a key that you can slide through the rear vents of the snorkel to unblock the floater. Then rinse the snorkel to definitively remove the sand.
To get the most out of your Easybreath, rinse with clean water after each week of use. Then store it in its net.
The EASYBREATH now comes in 2 sizes that cover 90% of all faces for men, women and children over 10 years old of age :
- Size S/M for adults with thin faces, women, and children over 10 years old.
- Size M/L is the average size for an adult male.
The best idea is to try both sizes in your Decathlon store. Once the mask is tight on your face, it's the right size if there's no space between your chin and the mask's silicone skirt.
If you can't get to the store, or if you prefer to order your EASYBREATH over the internet (www.decathlon.fr), here's how to choose your size.
Close your mouth and measure the distance between the trough at the top of your nose and the bottom of your chin :
- Size S/M for adults with thin faces, women, and children over 10 years old.
- Size M/L is the average size for an adult male.
Upon receiving your Easybreath, put it on to check that there's no space between the bottom of the mask and your chin (see video above).
If you can't clip the snorkel on the mask, it's because there's sand where the snorkel and the mask connect, near the joint or in your snorkel.
This connection is designed to ensure a perfect watertight seal between snorkel and mask.
If sand has got in, don’t press too hard. Rinse the snorkel and mask. Make sure that there's no more sand before trying to connect it again.
We've developed the Dry top concept above all to prevent water from entering through the snorkel when there are ripples on the surface or when the user leans his ou her head too far forward. Under these same conditions, with a traditional snorkel, the user might swallow the water entering the snorkel - that's what we want to avoid.
This Dry top system only works when the snorkel and floater are vertical.
During freediving, at the time of the 'duck dive', the snorkel is horizontal: it's just in that moment that some water might enter.
2) The volume of air contained in the Easybreath is much greater than in a traditional mask. Below 1 m, the pressure of the mask on your face becomes very uncomfortable.
3) When freediving, it's iessential to equalize, i.e. hold your nose and blow gently as if you were blowing your nose, to clear the pressure in your ears and not pierce your eardrums. With the Easybreath, equalizing is impossible, because you can't reach your nose.
