Having trouble test-driving a New Breeze. The manual suggests you can wear it without the optional "halo strap", but I couldn't get it to stay in place without it. A bigger problem is with the nasal pillows. I've used "medium" pillows in other masks. The medium pillows in the Breeze seem to disappear in my nose, and the plastic base exerts uncomfortable pressure on my upper lip (against my teeth). I don't know if I need to adjust to a new system or if this just the wrong size. If any Breeze users have advice, I'd appreciate hearing from you. Thanks.

I had a breeze for years...maybe 5? Found it noisy and prone to leakage. Easier to see the tv than with the mask I have now.

Breeze was more fragile too. Perhaps they've changed that.
Hope this helps.

I use a breeze and find it comfortable, a little noisy, but I feel the least restricted.  What mask can you see the TV better with?

Got the problem solved, and what a great mask this is proving to be. I read on another board that the Breeze pillows tend to run small, so I bought a set of "large", and that helped. Then I spent a lot of time on the adjustments. The Breeze has many adjustment points: two sliding pieces; the swivel at the bottom; the optional halo straps; and the piece that the straps anchor to. It took me a while to figure out what combination of settings worked best.

Some people can wear the Breeze without the straps.  I discovered that unlike my other masks, the straps on the Breeze add stability; they aren't used to "anchor" the mask like straps do in other masks. When I gave them some slack, it was enough to keep the mask on and took the bothersome pressure of the pillow off my upper lip and nose.

The Opus 360 would shift every time I changed sides. The Breeze doesn't move. It's also quieter. And unlike the Opus, there are no straps going down the side of my face.
