Product Description:
The U.S. Divers Sideview/Total Dry combo boasts a 4-window silicone mask with a polycarbonate lens. It also comes with silicone snorkel with a purge and a dry-top that closed when submerged.
Amazon.com Product Description:
Consisting of the Sideview Pro Tech mask, the Total Dry snorkel, and a storage bag that holds both, this snorkeling bundle from U.S. Divers is a must for water enthusiasts everywhere. The Total Dry snorkel is among U.S. Divers' most innovative products, with such features as a silicone mouthpiece for added comfort and durability and a contoured barrel that's ergonomically shaped for the best positioning in the water. More significantly, the Total Dry snorkel sports a float mechanism in the tube that closes instantly between breaths. As a result, you needn't worry about getting water in your lungs when accidentally or purposely submerged. Other details include an easy-purge valve, a drop-away, full-flex section to enhance performance, and a translucent blue coating in the center.
The Sideview mask, meanwhile, boasts a comfortable and durable hypoallergenic face skirt, along with a high-tech four-window polycarbonate lens. The face skirt is designed to fit a variety of face sizes and shapes, while the windows extend further to the side than most masks, giving you greater peripheral vision. And thanks to the easy-adjusting swivel buckle, the mask is a breeze to put on and take off. Finally, the mask, snorkel, and storage bag carry a two-year limited warranty.

Rating:  - Disappointed
While this set is not the most expensive, it certainly is not the cheapest either. And I expected quality workmanship from a product with quality (silicone) materials. I had the same problems with the snorkel that some others did but I could get used to it. It's kind of a trade-off for such a dry snorkel. But the biggest problem is that I bought two of these sets for a Caribbean vacation and one of the masks had a slow leak from the very beginning. We were on vacation for a month so no returning ...

Took these snorkeling sets to the Mayan Riveria, Yucatan Mexico for our honeymoon... I was secretly freaked out about snorkeling for the first time, and had been practicing breathing through the snorkel in the shower before we left (where else are you going to practice in Montana?) Anyhow, when we got to Mexico and started out in a lagoon, I was THRILLED at how easy and safe it was. No water got in my eyes, nose, mouth, or lungs. A few days later I found myself snorkeling in the big wide carribean with ... Read More
Rating: - GOOD BRAND, POOR DESIGN, SNORKEL USELESS
I had the same problems as as other reviewer. The valve on the snorkel closes when you don't need it and in turn, cuts off your ability to breathe air. I also found it to be heavy and feel it should be held in place by the mask.
Rating: - PERFORMED AS PROMISED
My family was planning to go on a cruise in the southern Caribbean. We didn't want to have to pay for expensive snorkeling excursions for each port. So, we decided to buy our own snorkeling equipment and head out on our own. It was very painful to try to interpret all the specs on the equipment. For several of the adventurous snorkelers in our family, we bought the mask with the total dry snorkel. It performed as promised. We have various face sizes also. Mask was easy to adjust and had good peripheral ... Read More
Rating:  - So So
Do not buy a mask online unless you have tried the model on your face. Also I have found that the sniff test does not necessarily ensure a water seal so I would never buy another mask without first wearing it in water.
The snorkel sucks. It is supposed to prevent water from getting in but none of these gadgets really work and I think you are better off anticipating it being filled with water then the other way around.
