"Hybrid" is the model name of a unique type of Full Face mask. It's a mask that allows mouth-breathing through a mouth cushion, and has nasal pillows for breathing through the nose. Didn't work well for me, but there are people who like it as their "full face" mask.

Dudley, here's a link that will take you to some interesting discussions about a lot of different masks:

And here's a link to many topics about using tape or other methods to prevent mouth breathing or stop mouth air leaks if a person doesn't want to use a full face mask:
