Mirage Quattro Mask Size

Post by marose1 » Fri Apr 01, 2011 9:31 pm

I was fitted with Size M (Medium) Mirage Quattro Mask, which is consistent with the cardboard face fitting measurement aid. With size M, I experienced frequent leakage and some irritation around my eyes. I recently switched to a size S (Small), and have experienced a significant improvent -- with far less leakage and a better fit around the eyes.

Just as a note, from my experience, I think when you switch from the Quattro FFM to the Quattro FX FFM you might need to bump the size up one notch. The medium Quattro FFM fits me well. The medium Quattro FX FFM is a touch too small. I will be trying the large Quattro FX FFM.

I found the same thing...I was originally fitted with a Large and needed to exchange it for a Medium which I have now been using for 18 months.

Same here, although the Ultra Mirage Full Face fits me better than the Quattro, which seems to fit a wider face profile. I had to go to a small to fit properly.
