the first night I tired the comfortcurve I had fairly good luck till my pressure went up then leak city, now being that I am a natural borne tinkerer I decided to find a way to fix the problem. the second night I tried using a shoes string, and has a little more success. For night three I decided to go all out and ad a real strap wit a better attachment. I decided to use a Navillus Chinstrap as the material for my new strap and some screw in button snaps for the attachment, but I decided to go a little further and fully integrate the remaining material from the chinstrap into the head gear, giving me an built in chinstrap.
as you can see from the pictures there is now a strap that goes around the neck as well as a chin strap. this set up seems to work for me

Makes good sense. Nice screw in snap thing. I like it.
