How big is the "extra-large"? I'm 5'3 and petite frame, would this mask be too big for my face?

The size contributes to the comfort and purpose of the product. Though the mask may wrap around the side of your head a bit further or it may feel like you're wearing oversized glasses, it will still be comfortable and light will be blocked.

It's large for my face but the large size is necessary to block out the light completely. It's very lightweight, so it doesn't bother me at all. Hope this helps...

Mine is 9.25in by 4.25in at the widest points if that helps. It would probably be pretty large for you, but I personally think its quite comfortable and would probably block out more light that way.

Because it has an adjustable strap (same manner as a bra strap), it should be fine.

No way. It's a very tight fit, with no wiggle room. It may be possible to modify the mask, but that's iffy. I wore the mask for 6 hours at a comic expo and believe me, it's snug. I got a lot of compliments and was asked to pose for a lot of photos

I'm a big guy, and the mask fully protects my face. It is really cheap and not that comfortable. I ended up replacing it after a year with a higher quality mask.

I did not really find any differences in the 'sizes'. I thought I bought 2 sizes, a Med for me, and a Small for my wife. But after using them both, I have yet to find out which is the smaller one. In reality, you must buy it and try it out. If you try it out, just remember to minimize any stubble around the mask / face interface. Also test the seal on the mask... meaning plug the side filter holes (with them off) and inhale. If the mask sticks to your face, you are good to go. If not, they the face / mask seal is bad. Sweat or Vaseline can help make that seal better. After all, that seal provides the filtration benefits you are purchasing the mask for.

I am also 5'3 and bought the small one. I don't care for it. Frankly, I think it's still too big. I find it uncomfortable after about 20 minutes. Perhaps my legs are just too short, but I find when I lie for a while with my legs over the top, it pulls on my spine, rather than letting my spine relax. I can't recommend it.

As far as I know, it doesn't come in any size. I am of average height and weight for a man and the mask itself fits very comfortably, though tightly, which it must do in order to protect you from dust, pollen and other allergens. The straps have considerable capacity for adjustment, so I would suppose that this mask would "fit" just about anyone! Hope this helps! Michael Garee

Consider the varsity mask an adult mask....the one that we bought for our 15 year old grand daughter (varsity) also fit me....you just have to adjust the straps to fit the small/large or "average" sized squash.

On fitted size hats I'm 7 3/4. It fit my face well. Nice seal. But head size isn't everything for fit on a mask.

The mask is very much adjustable. You could probably fit it on the head of Andre the Giant. I actually put on my wife's mask by accident and was able to adjust it to my head.

i'm a woman with a huge head and a lot of hair--i rarely find a hat that fits. This mask easily fits with quite a bit of extra strap. I'd say go for it!

I can fit my mouth and nose at the same time. It's got a little cut out to rest your nose on that works perfectly. The bigger mask is to steam your whole face I believe.

I have a big head, and it fit with plenty of room. Your big head will smell like plastic though. It takes a few days to air out...and even then. It's a funny mask though. Plus it's not a hard fitting mask, so it will form around your head. Worst case scenario, if your head is giant, you might have a slightly abnormal shaped horse head on the sides. For the price, I'd get it. Lots of fun.

My head is 7 and 3/8 if i remember correctly from my days in the military, the mask is slightly larger than my head, i had to put some padding in there to compensate, it should fit a 7-3/4 better than my own head

This is a good mask, but everybody's face is different. If you have tried Cressi Masks in the past and they fit well I'd say you will be fine with this one. If you're not familiar with masks in general you should go to a dive shop and try on a few. They will help you get the right fit.

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.

I am 5'3" and it seems big but it works great. It has straps you can adjust.

I think it might be too big for a very small head as it's a bit loose on mine and I run closer to large. There's a similar one, Columbia Women's Global Adventure hat, that comes in sizes. Only thing is it costs almost twice as much.
