Flexifit Full Face 431 problems
The FlexiFit 431 is very comfortable to wear but terrible to use!! It has been made cheaply and has no anti-suffocation valve - the FlexiFit instead has a non-return valve in the elbow, this means that when you exhale you have to FORCE the air out the exhaust vents and this means you are exhaling ag...
