How Do I Attach Anti-Leak Straps In The Back?

KenTheriot · Post by **KenTheriot** » Tue Mar 18, 2014 12:57 pm

I have an anti-leak strap (Pad-a-Cheeks), but I don't get how to make them attach to the back of the headgear. Yes, there is a bit of velcro that ends up on the back of the head (with a cover over it you can remove). But it doesn't line up with the straps on my Quattro FF mask. I tried pressing the velcro onto the headgear on the right side back strap on the headgear, but that is totally unsatisfactory and the rest of the strap around the left side of my head just slides down loose under my ear and around my neck.

Can any experienced anti-leak strap users clue me in? Are there any diagrams anywhere showing how to do this?

Thanks.

Ken

Ask Karen (who 'is' Pad-a-Cheek'). She usually has templates, or at least answers, for most mask-liner fittings and knows which do what when.

It doesn't attach to the mask strap, just pull it up to the tightness you want and attach it to it's self . There is velcro on the ends of the strap and they attach to each other.

When installed correctly it looks like this. http://www.padacheek.com/PAC_AntiLeak_Strap.html

Thanks for the replies. But I still can't make it stay up high like that picture, where it goes over the ears. It just slides down around my neck and goes loose.

I have the hole over the elbow as in the instructions. I've left the short end on the left side of my face with the long side going around my head and attaching to the short end on the left side at about my cheek. Is that what you meant by "attach it to it's self" Squid?

My wife made some adjustments to mine and it just attaches to it's self at the back of my neck and I'm quite comfortable with it there. I hate to say it but the strap is not one size fit's all. I don't use mine anymore so it's put away in case I ever need it.

I'm afraid the nonslip patch of fabric does not line up exactly with every set of mask straps. It does not for mine. (F & P 432.) However, do not despair. There are other fixes. I know a fix for your fix is annoying, but don't give up. Contact Padacheek. She knows her way around straps and slipping and many other fit problems.
