I love the Swift FX - much quieter, more comfortable, no leaks

The only thing I don't like is the strap covers that come with it. I like the feel of the fleece covers that are for the Swift FX better. I also have more marks on my face in the morning with the FX covers.

I really dislike the covers that come with the FX too, some grey polyester fabric..yuck! My skin does not like those little things and they do not pad. I ordered a replacement set from pad-a-cheek in fleece.

Apparently it is very important to have those straps mid way between the eyes & your ears. I had mine originally set just above the ears like most masks ... boy was I wrong.
That's exactly what I was doing and I was waking up with the top of my ear hurting from time to time.

Wore the FX last night for the first time. I was able to lay like I used to, half on my side half face down, and it didn't bother the mask hardly at all. Once or twice as I was falling asleep I heard a little "hisss" of leaking air as I was moving my head a bit. I just had to pull the pillows away from my nose slightly and I got a snug fit. No leaks shown on my S9. I also woke up for a bathroom stop around 3pm and wondered if the S9 was still on, that is how quiet the FX is. My numbers were as low as they've been with the new mask. The video was very helpful for fitting, cleaning, and disassembly. I also don't feel the pressure on my upper lip like I did with the LT.
