I couldn't get that mask to not leak. It was a pain. I even used the stocking trick I found here. If you like those little masks, the nasalaire II is about the best thing out there, in my opinion, and for a little face mask, the soyola.

I figure as soon as there is a "best face" there will be a "best mask" to fit it.

Until face size and shape is standardized, I think we'll have to make do with what we have
