put a fleece cover on big hose and first foot of twilight hose- but still quite a bit of rain- but less-
has anybody figured out a way to cover the rest of the hose and the part around your nose- not much room is there?

here is another worry- I buy heated hose- then it rains anyhow because last part of hose is cool??

its frustrating because it fits me well and is comfortable- I can sleep on my side with no problems-- or are modifications so that you can wrap hose better to prevent rain?

thanks-- packer

Blarg covered the part around the nose.

I covered the part that goes around the nose also. I used soft T shirt material - pretty thin compared to fleece. I made something that I can only describe as an A-line skirt that I put on the nose piece after I wash it. I guess you could also describe it as a funnel shape, upside down. The soft fabric sits on my nose and is held in place by the place where the 2 sections merge at the top. Blarg sewed the sections on. Mine is removable. I think either one works fine. Once the upper hose is free from the headgear, it is easy to cover. I made a fleece cover for it. It worked much better once I added velcro ties to keep the cover snug against the ends.

NO! Get pantyhose TIGHTS.

Thicker material that's much stronger without having to be tied as tightly. Pantyhose don't have much actual strength to their elasticity, so they just stretch and then become rigid when you put enough pressure on them to hold the mask in place. So get yourself some pantyhose tights.
