My local supplier has been moving away from stocking the Forma and moving toward the Vitera, and I was wondering if anyone happened to have tried both masks and would have an opinion on them?
I tried the Vitera for a week, but I think after a decade or so of using a mask that has gone under the chin, I'm just used to having that extra support and the Vitera always feels like it's loose or ready to come off for me. I don't know if that's just a matter of me not being used to a FFM that doesn't go under the chin and that the fit is actually the same, or if fitting under the chin actually does provide some extra support/prevents leaks.
If anyone has any insight, it'd be much appreciated.

I have never worn the Forma, but I have used the Quattro, F20, and Simplus. The Vitera is the most comfortable and works best when it is loose on the chin.

Re: Full face mask question - Forma vs Vitera
Thanks! Does the Vitera get pushed off with shifting overnight? That's probably my other concern with going with a mask that doesn't go over the chin, because I definitely move around a lot in my sleep, but I don't know if that's unfounded.
