Innova Full Face Mask with Headgear

This mask surprised me. For various reasons, I have to use a full face mask. I had tried the other hybrid type masks and they either leaked at the nose or mouth but none could seal both areas. This mask made a good seal and was actually comfortable by comparison. I will probably not be able to use it every night because my pressure requirements are very high (up to 27), but it will make a good back-up option when my nose gets sore. My current backup mask is the Fit for Life entire face mask.

I bought this mask in March 2014. It failed miserably in August of 2014. Before the failure, it was comfortable but did not seal well. I suppose I could have bought the wrong size, however, and dealt with the leaks aside my nose as best I could. However, just three weeks ago, a portion of the very thin clear "Saran Wrap" type covering over the gel busted! exuding a thick and expanding sticky blue gel...which didn't then deplete completely from the mask! but made for repositioning uncomfortable and even more leaks. I had feared this from the beginning. But took a chance and completely wasted my money. I did like the feel of the cool gel - in the undamaged state. - against my skin. And I really liked the no-contact forehead bridge.

I have been using a CPAP for over 15 years and this mask is the best fitting and the most comfortable I have used. No need to over tighten it to get it to seal.

I have only used this mask for a week now. However I am very satisfied overall mainly because the mask does not leak. Unlike other masks I have used; I don't have to over tighten this mask to keep it from leaking. The gel is softer and more moldable to the face. It doesn't come apart so it is easier to care for. The head gear is a little confusing to put on but manageable. I am a little concerned that the plastic envelope encasing the gel looks a little thin and vulnerable to breakage but time will tell.
