Will a cheap Amazon snorkel set work for a one-off vacation?

For a single calm-water trip, verified-purchase reviewers report that budget sets from brands like Greatever, ZEEPORTE and Aegend perform acceptably. The trade-offs reported are stiffer silicone skirts (more leaks on non-average face shapes), shorter lifespan, and weaker fins. Specialist-community advice is that if you'll snorkel more than once or twice, stepping up to a Cressi, SEAC or Oceanic set pays off quickly.
