Mask liner question

Post by jjlady » Sat Aug 18, 2012 5:47 pm

When using liners for your mask, what if there is a lot of material on the inside, will there be any airflow issues? Or does the air just float around any obstructions in the mask?

Try to lower the nose hole so it doesn't cover your nostrils. If you can feel the material moving in and out with your breath, you probably need to move it down.
