Another Hybird Mod

Post by sinkem » Mon Oct 16, 2006 1:45 pm

I just got a replacement cushion for my hybrid. I was about to cut off the chin flap again. I told myself, its there for a reason, how can I get some use from it.
Chin Flap Mod Type II:
I cut the flap in half with a little snip and tried it on. I then made the snip a little longer, just thru the logo.
The mask fits my chin now with the "two" flaps holding on just so.
I find it keeps the mask more stable when my pillow tries to push it off.

Someplace there are a couple of Hybrid engineers looking at each other saying......

DUH Why didn't we think of that?

I kept my chinflap but always planned to cut it off when I was going to replace it just to try it out. Now I have one more thing to try

Nice job Sinkem
