Which chin strap to go with the Brevida?

Sup, party people.

Which chin strap do you guys recommend to use with the Brevida mask?

Would this also work on the P10?

Preference is for it to work with the Brevida, though. Thanks!

I tried several chin straps, and could never find one I could stand. I use a firm foam cervical collar.

Neither will keep your lips closed, but the collar seems to be more comfortable according to most wearers.

Any recommendations for a good collar?

Don't use one, but look for 'soft cervical collar' either in the forum search bar or ask your pharmacy store that sells 'devices' and not just Rx's.

My wife and I both use this collar. Unless you have a very large neck, the small or medium will be plenty big enough. My neck size is around 17 or 17 1/2 and I am using the small one.
