Hi Cedric & Mountain_diver
Thanks for your reply (Should have remembered that from your article actually on the mask). Is it a good fit? My standard KISS BOV is a little bulky on it, i.e. might swap it around. Since the reg exhaust sits underneath with Golem BOV I was wondering whether it sits in the way of the purge valve in pod.

Cheers, Marc

HI Marc, you will find some interference with the purge valve even using the
stiffener plate on the golem bov, I solved this problem by triming the lever
some. Can still activate purge even with smurf mitts on. Also if you have to
bailout to full OC your bov hose assembly will not float above your head, but will sink to your chest might cause a clearence issue with some types of reg's. Not an issue for me. As for mask fit I find it very comfortable
been diving the mask now 18 months and the set up works for me.
hope this helps.

all the best.
