Anyone have any tips or tricks on how to change the nosepiece size? I made it too small and fell like it's about to break getting it in the hole.

Hi, I just had this same problem. Firmly but gently tug and pull and wiggle side to side slightly. It will finally pop into place. In my opinion, they could have improved this product a lot by giving 3 separate sized nose pieces like the Speedo Vanquisher comes with, or at least provide a spare!

I have a small nose and the nosepiece acted like a window for light. The mask was completely ineffective at blocking light for me. However, I had no problem returning it. Little noses, this may not be for you.

I recommend trying larger size. Mine put too much pressure and I couldn't wear it much. Not sure if it a good idea. Surgery is answer.

I had the same problem...at first. You have to line it up exactly then keep spinning it until the "grooves" catch...thats how I got it on anyways...also make sure its not upside down as it seems to want to fit that way as well...hope it helps!

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.

I have a 15 hand mare with a small head and the horse size was HUGE on her. I ended up giving it to someone with a 17hh Andalusian. I got her the cob size instead and it fits well. Get the cob size for her and then adjust it as needed. The nose part is adjustable as well, so if she has that teeny, dainty Arab nose you should still be able to get it to fit her.

IDK, but the strap set recommended has 3 or 4 nose pieces to tryout. Mine np doesn't even touch my nose, which is the prominent type. You can always check with your favorite. The strap is very durable. My oldest is 1.5 ya and still going after almost daily exposure to chlorine. Hope that helps.

Michael, most likely a staple is lodged and stuck. Did you take the nose apart to find the culprit? I am surprised this happened because Fasco is a good machine. What kind of staples are you using?

I did have a problem early where the mount cracked at this point after a short period of use. The effected part was promptly replaced under warranty. When I replaced it, it did not feel too snug but it was a snug fit. I would not directly force if you feel its too snug. My recommendation would be to put some hard soap on the threads (scrape on a soap bar), then turn the screws into the mount slowly. Back them out a turn, and then screw in two, back out a turn and screw in two, repeat until the bottom of the shrew head is at the top of the metal.

To change the lenses, just make sure the narrow end is facing away from the nose piece. First insert that end into the top slot and firmly press away from the nose piece and up until it "popps" into place. As for the insert glasses that came with, I just discarded them. I couldn't figure that one out.

use a twisting motion. it almost feels like it will tear the plastic but eventually it will pop out. then just pop in the new nose piece.

There are 3 different size nose pieces if you will (included) that are easily changed to fit your needs. They actually change the distance between the eye cups/lenses depending on your physical makeup of your skull. I don't even notice it is there because it doesn't touch my nose at all even when diving.

When I bought my mask it came with all three sizes. Just look or have someone else and gauge what you think: small,medium, or large nostrils. Medium would work on anyone and you can go from there either up or down.

Go for the next size, better safe than sorry. It actually adjusts. Good luck!

Shape and diameter both matter. I measured my nostril and sent that info along with a pic to Woody Knows, and they recommended a size that worked perfectly.

I pried it off with a long nose screwdriver and screwed the new one on. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gB1SasCNXyY

I would say I was a woman with an average sized nose and I used a small; My husband has a much larger nose and although he tried the small, it was too small-I would suggest a medium for the average man-hope this helps!
