IST has been making the world’s best masks for over 35 years. IST’s trio of aluminum-framed masks are representative of that legacy. They include the dual-lens Panorama and Synthesis, and the newest model, the single-lens Syclops - all made with the highest marine-grade aluminum alloy outer frames. They’re light, lighter even than lesser quality plastic models, yet deceptively strong. They all feature high-impact plastic sub-frames, hypoallergenic skirts constructed with IST’s exclusive surgical grade Liquid Injected Silicone, and fold-down buckles to make traveling a breeze.
IST’s metal-frame mask legacy started with The Panorama. Using light-weight but extremely durable marine-grade 6000-series aluminum, the Panorama is a very robust mask that is ideal for traveling divers and for those who want to carry a portable backup. In fact, it’s among the strongest, lightest masks on the market. The CNC aluminum used in the construction of this mask actually allows it to be surprisingly thin. The frame measures only 8.1mm (0.32”) in thickness, and the bridge area is merely 7.32mm (0.29”). True to IST’s reputation for developing the highest quality silicone, you will find the exclusive Liqui-Inject™ silicone skirt amazingly supple, comfortable yet secure on your face. Buckles are mounted to the skirt enhancing fold-ability and adjust-ability. Vertical and horizontal field of visibility is excellent. The Panorama’s lenses fit close to the eyes, reducing volume, and the mask is easy to equalize and clear. The Panorama started the metal frame tradition at IST, and is still the workhorse of the line.

Detail
By using lightweight and robust 6000 series aluminum, Panorama is the original IST metal masks. The choice of material and construction method makes the Panorama possibly the strongest masks on the market. Plastic frames often crack when these lenses are fitted, as they rely on small fragile lugs to keep the rims in place. On the other hand, metal is stronger and less prone to crack when this exchange of glass takes place. The CNC aluminum frame has enough strength which allows this mask to be made thinner. The frame measures only 8.1mm / 0.32” in thickness and the bridge area is merely 7.3mm / 0.29” in width. With a contour hugging hypoallergenic liquid silicone skirt, the lenses of panorama are brought much closer to the eyes, which mean an increased field of vision and reduced internal volume. The buckles are attached directly to the skirt so they do not interfere with fitting and this is a handy feature for travelling and technical diving applications.
