ComfortCurve / Rainout

[clarenceh9]

So am I reading this right? No one is getting rainout with the new mask? The new mask comes with a 6ft hose that is smaller than a normal hose? Is the price going to be the same as a normal hose and will it be easy to find? Would not the smaller hose change the out put pressure? Would the smaller hose help with rainout for all masks?

The ComfortCurve hose is approximately the same diameter as a standard hose. The major difference is that it is lighter. I don't know what the hose will cost by itself, but the interface comes with the hose. Some have reported no rain-out, but then again some people have no rain-out no mater what hose they use. There is no reason to think that this particular hose, by itself, would be less susceptible to rain-out.

I am certainly intrigued by these reports of no rainout with the comfort curve, especially if the only difference is a thinner wall and not a diameter difference. ( I do not have one myself....yet)

I am wondering if this absence of rainout might be more a matter of the weather warming up in general, and/or routing the hose DOWN, and/or under the covers?

It will be interesting if the rainout STAYS absent come next winter.

Also, do we have confirmation of people that have had rainout with other interfaces having NO rainout with the Comfort Curve when running the hose upward and not under the covers?

I am trying to retain some sense of self control and not run out an buy EVERY new interface anymore....at least while I pay for both my daughter's college education....
