Air Leaking Mirage FX Wide

Post by Sleeplikabear » Sun Dec 02, 2012 5:40 am

Hello all
I've had my Mirage FX Wide for a week now and the air leaking is driving me insane. Any suggestions on remedies are welcome.

Mask liner? You can do a homemade version to try to see if it helps. Made from an old Tshirt. Cut a pattern around the outside of the mask with about an inch margin then cut a triangle hole for our nose.

Or maybe simply a different mask?

If you want to try the Eclipse mask and want a special promo code to get a little off the price...send me a private message.

Are you sure you need the wide mask?
Do you have facial hair?
Is your headgear tight enough?
What is your pressure?

I have the Mirage FX and like it a lot. It's very comfortable and seals well with little tension on the headgear for me.
