Mask venting air flow over eyes all night long

RE: Mask venting air flow over eyes all night long
There are many mask styles and they fit differently. The F20 has a long reputation for leaks at the bridge of the nose, and this problem usually gets a lot better with a swap to a different model.

RE: Mask venting air flow over eyes all night long
i use two different methods.

1. putting handkerchief single layer over the whole mask front tucked in under the strap at the top, lying loose over the mask and out along the hose. It blocks or deflects nearly all of the breeze.

2. putting handkerchief single or doubled over the eyes and tucked above and below eyes under the strap. It leaves you blindfolded but may be more comfortable than other options.
