We bought this mask 1 yr ago. the metal piece that holds the chin pad on snapped off. Would this be the same model from a year ago and it this norm?

Looks like the same mask. I have used it for a few months with no problem. Sure hope it is safe. I play senior ball and a short stop did not have one and took a line drive right to a eye socket and will loose his sight and need extensive surgery, has been in hospital for two weeks.

I'm not familiar--the one we bought, it seems it's all one metal piece, not different pieces molded together. It's a good mask, sorry you had that experience.

I bought mine on December 2013, the package says that it was made on June 2013. I dont think you should use it if it has more than 1 year with no use, you can try it in one part of your face and if you get any reaction stop the use inmediately.

I had the finish on the back side right under the head flake off after about 1 year of use. Six months later I had that part replaced under warranty. There is no more stenciled text on it, which is where I believe the flaking started. That was about 10 months ago. Now I see that at the edge of that part the finish starts to separate again. A few days the lock button on the side stopped doing its job. It just moves freely. Dunno if anything broke though because there is nothing rattling inside and I do not recall anything falling out. I think it is rather hard to miss a piece fall out. Maybe some part in there is just stuck with stubble accumulation.

I used my yellow Emjoi epilator for over 5 years without having to buy a replacement head...and then I dropped it too many times and it broke, so I bought this purple version.

This part is plastic and wears down. I replace mine about every 2-3 years. That is if I use the Snow blower during the 2-3 years. I also replace the belt and the pads at the same time.

I had the same problem with the original one. This one fits well, but you may need to either shorten the 3 screws that hold it on or put washers under the screw heads. I've not used my too much since I got it so I really can't say that it will hold up or not. I did notice that the hook and loop pads really stick to this, so be careful when removing the sanding sheet as you can probably start to tear the foam.

The steel nose guard is riveted on with steel rivets. I suppose you could grind off the rivets and remove the guard. I'm pretty sure it would still work.

I bought a new mask frame and it now fits. It probably was time for an upgrade, although my old frame had nothing structurally or operationally wrong with it. My only complaint wasn't really about the product, but its display on the site. I just needed a little more information before I ordered. If you still want the flap number (on the new one or old one?), I can provide that later.

Do not machine wash, it will delaminate. This is what happened to mine. The mask should really come with instructions noting this!

Hi Krista, yes I have the same model in the head fits perfectly. I can use the same pads obviously. With time it would be expected that the head would slowly become clogged and the new replacement was like purchasing a new steam mop!

other reviews said the head gets brittle and can crack with age i bought the metal head. It was not that much more if i remember corectly

I have used the same mask several times when I've worn for a short period (I keep it on a ziploc bag). Otherwise, I would use it once if worn all day. You can also tell if they get dirty. Hope this helps.

if it was perchased from spigpen I beleive the answer is yes. However, how did it break? Was it noraml wear and tear? In all likely hood they probably want replace it.

The mask, snorkel, and fins are great. There is a small hard plastic clip that holds the snorkel to the mask and it broke first time out on two of ours. We went to a local shop and were able to purchase inexpensive replacement parts that were not rigid and that worked just fine. The part just needs to be more flexible than the one that comes with the set. It is an inexpensive easy fix.

I thought the same thing with mine, but glad I replaced the whole thing. When I pulled the old one out I found a small crack on the seam of the plastic. It wasn't leaking yet but it was only a matter of time and I would rather replace it while I already had the tub apart.

I've had mine since April of 2013 and it as only just now started to peel the outer textured cover off. The padding is still intact. If I can get the padding off, I 'll buy another set for it.
