Strong Chin Strap Recommendation?
I have been on CPAP for a few years now but have never been able to find an acceptable chin strap. The best I have found is the Respironics Premium Chin Strap. However to get enough clamp power, I have to severely overlap the top strap and make the side straps tight enough hey get close to tearing out. So it becomes sort of a twisted mess difficult to get straight when I put it on. I'll add a picture but don't know how easy it will be to see. I tried one of the purple? foam types but it was too hot and I think too loose. I just ordered a halo type from Amazon but even with the straps as tight as possible there is not enough force. There were probably a couple of others. Everything seems too stretchy.
I wear an XL helmet and have a small chin plus short facial hair. I am a lifelong mouth breather with a usually stuffy nose. I see a lot of things about tape but even the thought of it sounds suffocating and makes me cringe. I have been using an Evora Nasal mask so I tried a full face mask and could not get it to seal.
Are there any recommendations? I don't want the heat of something wide but need something less stretchy.

RE: Strong Chin Strap Recommendation?
If you are using it to keep your mouth closed, good luck. My husband wore one for years. They constantly stretched out and did not work very well. I finally convinced him to try mouth tape, things are much better, and he's more comfortable.
