Sudden leak "cured"

Post by Newbie Woman » Fri Oct 31, 2014 11:26 pm

I just wanted to share this in case someone has the same problem.

I love my FX Nano mask and I usually have very low leaks, 9 or less. Suddenly mine went into the mid 20s. My cushion was reasonably new and I doubted it could go bad so quickly, so I thought about what I had done differently those nights. I had gotten cold and had put a tiny blanket over the top of my head. Somehow or another, it messed up the mask seal. The next night I wore a lightweight stretched out knit cap and it cured the problem. Leak of 3 the first night and it continues to be low.
