Yes! That guy that they used to take this picture... for about five minutes... then his eyeballs got so dry they shriveled up and fell out of the sockets.

Yes, but at least they won't get lost. Just whip off the mask and there they are, ready to pop back in again.

This mask is great for when the air leaks out from around the eyeballs or if you are an "eyebreather" - If they could just include the ears, then they would really have something great!

Actually, you could save money by making a full head mask.

Take a small garbage bag, put it over your head and fasten it in place with an elastic around your neck.

Then, put a hole in top for the hose and attach with duct tape.

Voila, no more leaks...
Trying is the first step towards failure.
