Re: Best Full Face Mask for Facial Hair
oops sorry. I have a goatee. Not sure if that will make a difference
Re: Best Full Face Mask for Facial Hair
I'd go with the one that feels the best and leaks the least...
I'm guessing that hairy folks have to go thru the same trial and error us slick-faced guys do. And that facial features are a greater factor than fruitful follicles. (How's THAT for alliteration!)

Re: Best Full Face Mask for Facial Hair
Two participants from the 11th Product Challenge identified themselves as full bearded. They both preferred the Quattro. Look for Paul and Scott in the reviews:

Re: Best Full Face Mask for Facial Hair
I don't use a full face, but just nose mask. The Mirage Activa LT has been working great for me, and I have a thick beard, as can kind of tell in my profile photo.
Re: Best Full Face Mask for Facial Hair
Using a nasal seal (pillows) will by-pass any furry face. The less surface contact the fewer leaks anyway. Ok well the easier to seal, much easier, not as tight, and no strap marks.

I have no doubt, how I sleep affects every waking moment.
I am making progress-NOW I remember that I can't remember

If this isn’t rocket science why are there so many spaceshots?

Re: Best Full Face Mask for Facial Hair
I tried the nasal pillows a few times The Swift LT. Could not tolerate it for longer than an hour. Painful for me. The Mirage Activa LT is doing well for me in terms of comfort. I have never had strap marks, either.GumbyCT wrote:Using a nasal seal (pillows) will by-pass any furry face. The less surface contact the fewer leaks anyway.

Re: Best Full Face Mask for Facial Hair
Full beard and moustache here and I love the Comfort Gel and very rarely the Swift. They both seal perfectly for me.
