I'd like to improve my P10 headgear

Post by mwaddo » Thu May 16, 2024 2:47 pm

Wonder if I'm the only one who finds the P10 headgear straps to be marginal, not durable and could be improved. It seems that tension on the headgear is critical to seal performance - when it's right it's great (as the myair app tells me), but it seems that the head strap just ages rapidly and I'm chasing trying to get the right tension and a high score on the mask seal. I cant help feeling that a more durable elastic would work - has anyone tried to Macgyver a better strap?

But then they wouldn't sell as many!

I feel the same way. They're made cheaper so they can continue profiting for us. It seems every one I've gotten doesn't even last a week anymore!

Washing it helps.
