well not really. but it sure feels that way.i use the hybrid and have that sucker so tight the velcro from the mask is only using the last inch or so to stay on. (gonna have to modify the straps)the problem when i get up when i run my hand over my head it feels like a inverted speed bump ---___-----

I also use the hybrid and have loosened the straps quite a bit as I have gotten used to it. I don't notice any leaks. Must be I have those chipmunk cheeks that ahve been mentioned here.

Wuelfman,
I know exactly what you mean I use the hybrid with my headgear from my Flexifit431.

The top strap on my headgear make it easier to adjust thanks to a small buckle (see picture below, the top strap has the red padacheek on it ).

This leaves not only a speed bump in my head but there is a pothole in the middle from the buckle.

I put one of my spare padacheeks on it......Problem solved

Missy,

When I first bought my padacheeks Karen asked what color I would like,I told her I wanted something fun not just a plain color.
The tiger skin pattern is my newest and my favorite but I also love my leopard skin and my red with black markings.

Roberto,
The only thing I will say about that is without my mask my snoring would scare away any tiger!

It's the flimsy headgear thats making you overtighten your mask beside the point that the velcro wont stick I think the straps are just too flimsy to handle the mask.
When I switched to the F&P headgear it was like a different mask I was Able to loosen up enough to make it more comfortable.

no i have the "new and improved" straps. i think i have it so tight is so i can sleep on my side and not get leaks. i also am a very very light sleeper so the air leaks around the mask wake me up
