Does this mask seal your nose from the water? Looking for mask to learn kayak rolling in pool, and water rushing in my nose ruins it.

Youd be better off with just nose plugs. I'm thinking that you'd probable loose a mask with that activity.

Yes, it covers your eyes and nose. You can adjust the straps so it is as tight as you want and it will seal the water. Good luck!

A good fit is a must when you are purchasing a mask. While this mask is designed to seal the nose, it's important that you test it before you go out for a real dive. In your case try this maneuver on your kayak in your pool before you venture to open water. Thankfully the return policy for Amazon allows you to return at no charge a product that does not do what it's supposed to do. I hope this helps.

The leaking problem we had was near the top around the forehead. It seemed to seal well around the nose. But when water gets in anywhere, it could get into your nostrils

It doesn't seal your nose per se as nose plugs would but it is a full mask so the nose is covered completely. Once you seal the mask over your face and nose water does not get in. I'm not sure how much force it will take to break the suction from your face and leak, but I would imagine something like rolling over in a kayak could cause any mask to shift, breaking the seal with your face.

Yes the mask will keep out water from your eyes & nose. You will have to breath from your mouth

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.

No, and the one on my snorkel leaks so that I have to forcibly purge it every 4-5 breaths. It's very annoying.

Yes it does. If you use a nasal mask I highly recommend it. The mask inflates and the strap isn't tight so it's like it's not even there. It works great.

It will not seal properly. It's itchy with just a bit of face fur. I've seen guys sanding with these on and take it off awhile later looking like they stuck their nose in the dust. They all had beards or something obstructing the seal allowing air in. I wore this or the half mask for 10 months where I used to work.

Thank you for contacting Active Forever. Looking at this product, there is not an actual mask that goes over your nose. You can put your face close to the product but it shouldn't actually cover your nose area. The steam could possibly burn you. I personally, have not had any feedback about the other unit you were wondering about. I hope this answers your question.

I have used a Cpap for awhile now and am not having a problem using this and the mask that just goes over the nose and is really a very soft comfortable mask. Good luck!

It somewhat sticks but mostly from the pressure from the mask. If you are hoping this will help with the red mark on your nose it will not.

I have experienced water getting into the snorkel, and originally I thought the purge valve was leaking. When it continued after I cleaned the purge valve, I discovered that when doing the crawl I was rotating my head too far with each stroke and water was actually getting into the open end at the top of the snorkel and running down into my mouth. It was a good reminder to keep the head more or less stationary in the crawl, not rotating.

Hi, I purchased one of these bags several months ago and I love mine. The way the closure works is you roll the top edge down until it meets the buckles by the handle, there are clips on both sides to hold the roll you just made tight. There are also buckles on the ends of the roll and those fasten near the base on each end. The bend in the fabric created by this last step is what seals the water out (I think). I use my bag kayaking to keep my clothes dry and it works great.

I learned the hard way that this jacket's auto function is very good. Like an idiot I had it behind me in my kayak and not on when I was caught in a torrential rain storm and my boat had four or five inches od water in it . . . and it did/deploy deflate. I highly recommend against this practice. My back was injured and I have been seeing a chiropractor. Totally my own fault, however, I learned that wet will not deflate it submerged will.

I have worn mine snorkeling in salt water twice and it is fine. (I didn't mean to do it, but it was clipped to my swimsuit and I forgot it.)

Probably ALL filtering face masks have some kind of breathing resistance. It is a covering, after all. That said, I have found the microfiber Vogmask to be comfortable to wear without too much resistance. I used it cleaning up a very dusty room, had it on for over an hour, and didn't encounter any problems.---Charles Foster Dudley

Yes it does seal around the face , its very comfortable and extremely cool in the face,, very nice! The only big problem is that if the fuse outside are really strong it still gets into the mask and actually I had to remove the mask once because the fumes in the mask where stronger inside the mask than outside..

No, it does not scratch your mask. It just sits there and moves around while you are underwater to defog your mask!

I am in that category of having full facial hair and it has worked quite well for me, I can even wear my glasses. There is an internal nose and mouth section which seals nicely around that area. When inhaling the seal intensifies around your nose and mouth and does not draw ambient air into the vision part of the mask. When exhaling you can forcibly cause a leak in the nose mouth section to cause positive pressure in the vision section thus expelling any unwanted gasses. but with no pressure gradient gasses don't generally find their way in. The six point strapping allows for tightening uniformly around your face. Although I have had no trouble, and it is impossible to produce a perfect seal with hair involved, the gasses are generally expelled rather than drawn in. I hope this helps.
