Seems pretty costly for a pair of chinstraps. The one I have is thinner strapping than that..and I assume would be very warm in hot or humid weather. This looks like it would leave a lot of marks and cause sweating?

It's been around for quite some time. I think it has been cussed and discussed on the forum in the past. You might search for it with the forum search function.

It is promoted as a cure for sleep apnea which it can't do unless someone just blind stupid lucky.

It can't do anything at all for central sleep apnea...nothing because even if it could open up the airway...the airway patency isn't the problem with centrals.

Back to the old standard...not everyone who snores has OSA and people can still have really bad OSA and never snore.
Thus just because snoring is not present doesn't mean the OSA is gone.

Think about it....if OSA was really so easy to fix with a little (or in this case big) chin strap...there would never have been much of a need for the cpap machine would there?
