Alternative to velcro on back strap

Post by Sleepdeprived » Mon Sep 10, 2007 6:59 pm

Got a mask where the back strap rides up ?

Reluctant to use velcro on your back strap because
of what it does to your hair ?

The NA II comes with a figure eight loop

Use the upper loop centered on the back strap

and use pantyhose or pantyhose tights on the lower loop

run the pantyhose down and around to the front of your neck

or if long enough down under your arms and around the chest

and tie

Mirage Swift II

Make your own figure eight loops one to the left of buckle and one to the right

Use the soft fuzzy velco or the material of your choise

run panyhose or tights through the lower loops and down under neck or arms and tie in front

I used panyhose with the NA II when the velcro I added on the back on the back strap began irratating the back of my head.

It has worked well.

This can be done with any mask that has a back strap that rides up

You can use 1 figure eight for back straps that use velcro to hold and adjust

or two figure eights for back straps with buckles
