Force-X Fit
01 / FIT & COMFORT
A Different Kind of Mask Strap
The standout feature of the Force-X Lite is its elastic fabric strap. Unlike a conventional silicone strap, the fabric design is intended to sit comfortably against the head while reducing the chance of catching or pulling hair when putting the mask on or taking it off.
It is adjustable for a snug fit, and Mares describes the strap as customizable. Replacement strap colours are also offered for the Force-X Lite family, subject to availability.
A useful detail: The slim strap attachment is designed to make strap replacement easier, so you can refresh or personalize the look of your mask.
02 / UNDERWATER VISION
Low Volume, Wide Field of Vision
The Force-X Lite uses a two-lens design that keeps the mask profile compact while providing a broad view underwater. Its low-volume construction is also useful when clearing or equalizing your mask.
03 / CHOOSING YOUR FORCE-X
Mares Force-X Lite vs. Force-X
Both masks belong to Mares' Force-X family and use a low-volume, dual-lens design. The most obvious difference is the strap: the Lite uses an elastic fabric strap, while the standard Force-X uses a silicone strap.
| Feature | Force-X Lite | Force-X |
|---|---|---|
| Lens layout | Dual lens | Dual lens |
| Strap | Elastic fabric | Silicone |
| Fit system | Force-X Fit | Force-X Fit with Y-shaped buckle |
| Notable detail | Elastic strap designed to reduce hair pulling | Stainless-steel frame and quick-release lens clips |
The standard Force-X listing highlights its stainless-steel frame and quick-release lens clips. Check the exact specifications of the Lite rather than assuming every component is identical.

Mares designed the elastic strap to reduce hair pulling and tangling compared with conventional mask straps. It is also adjustable to help you find a comfortable fit.

Yes. It has a low-volume dual-lens design, which keeps the mask profile compact and can make clearing and equalizing more straightforward.
Can I use prescription lenses with the Force-X Lite?
