    I have never seriously considered a snorkel, BUT I do live in the dustiest region of the United States. (Phoenix, AZ). This is really quite tempting at the $250 price point. Dobbinsons, why have you created EXACTLY what the people want at the price point the people want? It makes too much sense...

    Pics from when I did it. I went a little too much on the backside cuz I was in a rush but still think it turned out good. Put some door edge trim around everywhere that I cut and it looks pretty decent in my opinion

    Really nice to see a good product priced fairly. We have been gouged for years on this item. I hope this brand becomes the go-to solution for those wanting a snorkel! If this price point stays intact, I foresee a major market share shift.

    Regarding "Made in China": A lot of very high quality products are coming from China now. It has everything to do with the relationship that you have with your manufacturer there. China is in rapid transition, and the cutting edge manufacturing that they do still carries the stigma of the old China. China is where Japan was 50 years ago. Now the words "made in Japan" mean "quality". While our countries have political differences, the people of China are wonderful. I'm looking forward to my next visit!
