With a body designed entirely by curves, Vader is an alluring top of the line, UV420 grade single-lens mask. Its meticulously engineered curled lipped, soft damper incorporating skirt is designed to relieve pressure for added comfort. VADER has remained a favorite amongst Blue Holic and around the world divers alike.
The UV420 Cut lens is able to block harmful HEV (high-energy visible light in 400 to 420 nm spectrum) which causes oxidative stress and deterioration of lutein.* * People say that lutein acts like natural sunglasses. It is present as a pigment in the retina, the crucial part of the eye that receives light and lets you see. Here, helping to prevent cumulative macular degeneration, it blocks harmful light and has an anti-oxidant effect. Lutein is destroyed when it absorbs harmful light. Its presence in the retina is limited and, because the body cannot make lutein, it can only be replaced by eating lutein-rich food.
Get the following benefits from UV420 glass Eye Protection … Blocks harmful UV and near infrared wavelengths. Cutting near infrared rays helps preserve the composition of lutein, so important for healthy vision. Brighter field of vision…Overall visibility is effectively enhanced by the bluish tint (aqua color).
How a tunnel looks with different colored light Orange light makes objects more visible by in increasing the contrast of shadowed edges. White light increases overall visibility by generally lighting everything more brightly. As in the orange-lit tunnel, a UV400 amber lens increases contrast. Meanwhile, a UV420 lens lets everything remain brighter overall. White LED light.
Light tends to cause oxidative stress and lutein (pigment) deterioration.
Protection of lutein reduces oxidative stress:less pigment deterioration.

WIDE SIGHT IS SECURED: Inclination 10 degrees
The inclination angle and shape of the lens work together to extend the downward field of vision. You can see better through the arc down to chest level, which is where most diving tasks are carried out.
SOFT TOUCH: Skirt with curled lip and integrated strap clip
All-in-one design ensures firm but gentle contact with the face. When you pull on the strap, you get an effective seal that is less likely to leave impressions on your skin.
NO STRESS: Soft damper
Normally, due to pressure squeeze and other causes, mask frames designed to improve the downward arc of vision tend to exert more pressure on the cheekbones. The soft damper relieves this stress.
MINIMIZES WATER POOLING: Drain skirt
The drain skirt design improves water expulsion during mask clearance and minimizes water pooling.
WIDER FIELD OF VIEW: Low volume
Low volume further improves the excellent arc of vision you get with the single-lens design. Enjoy a wide view that's great for any form of diving.
EASY ADJUST: DX spec mask buckle
While the mask is fitted, the release buckle and fine pitch strap adjustability make it easy to find the most comfortable fit. Even wearing thick gloves, you can easily adjust the mask using one hand.
The stellar dual lens SPECTRA offers a wide view and a comfortable water-blocking seal, plus it features a low volume design for easy clearing. Designed to fit a variety of face shapes, the SPECTRA uses a smart double-sealed silicone skirt for optimum comfort. In addition to comfort, the SPECTRA's buckle and strap system is easy to use. Push-button buckles that attach to the skirt adjust easily, optimize strap angle and range of motion for achieving that perfect fit, plus they enable the mask to be folded flat for easy packing. Mask skirts are available in both clear and black, and an exclusive paint process plus a choice of colors turns the SPECTRA into stylish eyewear as well as a comfortable, dependable dive mask.
