Can this be worn for snorkeling?

no it keeps you above water, my wife wears it in the pool and now she floats in the deep end without holding on. Its great for ones who fear water.

Yes but if you try to dive down deep enough to have to equalize (10+ft), you most likely will blow out the valve in the mask as I did on mine. This set should be strictly used for surface snorkeling and NOT scuba!

I haven't used it for scuba yet, only snorkeling, but it fits with my scuba mask on.

We have not used for snorkeling, but my twin daughters (age 7) have used theirs at the pool all summer without a problem. They love them!

Probably, I used it for snorkeling, but it's got acord and big clip that you can attach to yourself or clothing.

Vision is relatively normal with snorkel in position, I use swim goggles and the fit together fine. Mask would be too big.

This mask is only for swimmers who do laps in indoor pools. It doesn't represent a mask for snorkeling. I do a lot of snorkeling (like Austrailia, Belize, Thailand) and any good quality snorkel mask set will do. They almost always go together: the mask and snorkel. If you're buying them separate, they probably aren't what you are looking for. If you already have a snorkel, find a mask that completely covers the nose. Nothing else will work.

I got it to wear kayaking in colder Southern California weather. I don't think that it is meant to wear IN water.

It is designed to keep the wearer upright in the water, so although it would add bouyancy, you might be fighting its design to orient you in an upright position. Honestly, I have never tried using it in a horizontal snorkeling position, so this si my brst guess.

All of the documentation I have found online states water resistant.Which usually means as long as you aren't diving with it you should be ok. My concern though would be the optical sensor on the back used for measuring heart rate. I personally would not swim with it on.

I dont see why not. First time i used it was for sledding. I cant wait to use it this summer for diving.

It is very thin, so it might work. I wear such a balaclava for windsurfing in summer, but that is for warmth.

Body size must be taken into consideration. For example I have a medium mans build, and I ussually buy large T-shirts and they just fit. So I bought a large snorkeling vest and it just fit, it was a little on the tight side but once your in the water, the vest will tend to rise up into your chin if its not on the tight side, so you may want to go with a small based on the lack of info you supplied.

This does not fit like a tight rashguard used for scuba diving. It is more like a fitted t-shirt that you might you might see in the swimsuit section. It is fitted enough that it doesn't swell with water and float up. I ordered the standard size I would wear in a fitted t-shirt and it fit perfectly.

According to their site, it is water resistant and can be submerged up to 10 meters. I wear mine all the time, even in the shower, but I'd be hesitant to use it if I was in water most of the day. Maybe others have more experience with that...

Yes. I just used the mask with my GoPro on a 10 day trip scuba diving. Excellent mask.

Yes, I've used it for snorkeling and for snuba. It can be a little difficult at some points to see your screen since you are looking through a mask and the plastic case. I ended up just taking A LOT of pictures, and was able to pull enough out of it that I felt it was worth using again on my next trip. I used it with a Panasonic Lumix, which has an underwater setting and can help to adjust for the light, but if your camera doesn't, you can tweak the lighting to take some of the blue out afterwards in most programs.
