SHERWOOD MAG FOUR MASK - NEW STOCK

Mag 4 is a two-window mask with built-in bifocal lenses. What’s great about this concept is that Sherwood didn’t just glue some magnifying lenses into the bottom of the mask lenses. Instead, they actually cut off the bottom portions of the lenses and then attached the +1.75 magnifying lenses at an angle, improving downward vision while providing magnification. The angle is not enough to produce serious refraction like side windows do; rather, it’s just enough to stretch your downward vision to a full 50 degrees while providing magnification for easy gauge reading.

Our Price:- £34.95

Colours Available - (but not all in stock are):-

Black

Black/black silicone

Blue

Clear

Ice Blue

Pink Blush
