Thanks for the input Tooly...that's impressive that it seals at the pressure.

Like most of the posters, above, got my Hybrid in July of 2006. I am still
using it about 90% of the time. My only compliant is my face gets too warm
in the night, and I wake up with it sliding around. Maybe tonight I'll try it
with the HH in "passover" mode and the Aussie hose off.

I still like to switch to the CL2 + mouth tape, from time-to-time.

My experience with the Hybrid for the last few months has been positive. Prior to that, I have used the UMFF and HC431 for extended periods of time. I couldn't tolerate the sore on the nose bridge with both of those masks. When I would apply bandaid to the sore, air would leak in that area into my eyes, drying them out. The biggest benefit I find with the Hybrid is that no air blows into my eyes even if it leaks a little (which it rarely does).
