Does the Papcap effectively deal with puffs of air escaping from the mouth, or only jaw dropping?
Does the chinstrap leave marks on the face?
Thanks!

Re: Question for Papcap users
I've never had marks on my face from the chinstrap... it is a soft material. I haven't had an issue with puffs of air escaping when I don't wear it (which I am prone to do when it's really hot--it can get a bit warm), so I don't think I can answer the first question.

Re: Question for Papcap users
The PapCap chinstrap doesn't leave marks on my face, but I don't wear it really tight. It does prevent the puffs of air for me, but it doesn't seem to work for everyone.
I have to agree with Jeff that the PapCap can get quite warm. That's nice in the wintertime, but not so much when it's summer! But I wear it all the time because it keeps my HeadRest headgear in place and it does prevent my mouth-breathing. I usually have a zero leak rate with the chinstrap. I've tried several others, and I haven't found one I like better.
