<font color='#000080'>Can one of the DIR gurus tell me why all the masks i see in DIR pics (like bob coopers avatar) have black skirts?

P.S. Is there a DIR mask of choice? I presume something low volume.

Black - to go with their hearts! &nbsp;

Seriously though, it's because splashed paint shows up better (as they tend to wear them at home whilst they're painting also). &nbsp; &nbsp;

I'm guessing its just personal choice. Me - I find them too claustrophibic as I've had clear skirts on my masks for years now.

You don’t need to be good at swimming to save lives.

OBVIOUSLY YOUR STUPIDITY IS ONLY MATCHED BY YOUR INCOMPETENCE.
