Link to mask leak rates

Post by NyNurse33 » Wed Oct 18, 2006 3:55 pm

I can't seem to find the post where someone put in a link to a chart of different masks and their leak rates. Does someone have it?

Melissa,

This is a link to DSM's website with the different masks and leak values.
Glad to hear the Swift isn't hydrating your face every night like the other mask.
