With its stealthy black-matte finish, the Onyx might look all business, but its soft skirt and near-custom fit reveal a comfortable, lightweight, low-volume mask with pretty good all-around field of view at depth. Able to provide a leak-free fit for a wide range of divers, the Onyx comes with effective push-button buckles and an ultranarrow strap that incorporates a stretchy split headband. Testers rated it one of the most versatile masks of the group, well suited for all underwater activities from scuba diving to free diving. In addition, its minimalist frame and foldability make it the perfect choice for a backup mask that fits neatly in many BC pockets. It’s a lot of mask at a pretty good price, which prompted testers to give it the Best Buy nod for this year’s go-round.
