Hmmm. Just when I was thinking of getting one. Wouldn't you know. EDIT: Thanks Bobby269, I'll give it a try.

NOTE: I'm still liking my Ruby Chin Strap but the regular size just seems very small for my head, and I think my head is about average. My hat size is 16.5", for instance. Anybody else notice that?

I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.

Pursleep is where I bought my original PapCap. Now they don't advertise the PapCap, just the PapCap chinstrap. It's a cap, yes, but apparently doesn't have ways to mount and clip your mask to it anymore. It's not "head gear" anymore? It's advertised as a sort of undergarment for regular headgear. Why is that? If I ordered one now, does it allow you to use it as head gear, or not?

I believe you are thinking of the PapCap Plus.
No idea if it's still available.

The papCap plus with the headgear attachment is not listed. Maybe Bret has discontinued it, you could always send him an email to ask. The regular papCap is a chinstrap only with no headgear attachments.

The design of the papCap has changed over the years, I stopped using mine as i don't like the current one. Its too big and cuts into my ears.

I don't think I got the original one either. I don't like it, and have only worn it once.

I don't know if I have the original PapCap or the PapCap Plus, or what.

I adapted my PapCap by velcro-ing a different chinstrap onto it. I wish I could figure out a way to attach my chinstrap directly to my mask headgear and have it be tight enough to hold my jaw closed without pulling the mask headgear straps down too low.
