How did it go Simon? Intrigued, as I haven't come across anyone else using this mask yet.

hi Kath
wanted to give it 2 nights to make sure it was no fluke !! so here goes
well first time you put the mask on there is an immediate and instant feel that it is lighter and not so uncomfortable, it hardly feels like you have a mask on, i have gone from a medium fit to a large one with the air mask and it certainly is a better fit
it goes on easily, the straps do not feel obtrusive in any way, with my old mask i had to have it on so damn tight just to get a good fit, so that i could sleep. with the new mask i hardly had to tighten these straps to get a good face fit
with a new design for the air escape once the mask is on, it is also a lot quieter than my previous one, the mask seems to inflate slightly to get the area around nose and mouth to seal.
i could also sleep a lot easier on my side with this new mask , so in all its very good news for the full face mask wearer
some downsides maybe the new way to clip on straps, they just go over a plastic latch, how this will last over time remains to be seen, however the straps on the forehead seem to hold longer, on my last one they were forever coming out of the plastic when ever i put the mask on
plus big win no nasty red blotched or sore forehead or cheeks for last 2 monrings
if you get the chance go for this mask is all i can say
i will be looking a my stats later to see leak reports etc, but all seems ok and i was not awoken at any time from blowing air

hi yes i did dont know what happened there well it
keeps deleting post and saving as 15 minute edit

my third attempt
it was post to say that after few weeks in there is only one downside to the mask and that is its loose fitting on face makes sleeping on your side difficult as the mask slips and air blows on to face and eyes
this one negative is far exceeded by all the plus for me
