I watched the video. Seems like a mask worth trying because you can wear it so many different ways. They mention the quietness a few times, I'm anxious to see how it compares to the Swift and OptiLife.

To me that looks a lot like the Tiara Snapp-X ??? Minus the headgear.

Is that suitable for side sleepers? Looks like you'd probably crush the tube and cut off air flow on one side?

The reservoir of the Bravo looks a lot smaller than that of the SNAPP. Also, it seems to tug along the face much better. I have to get one and try it out before speculating any further.

There is at least one wearing option shown in the video where the tubing is not routed along the sides of the face. In that case, you wouldn't crush the tube, cut off air flow on one side etc when you sleep on that side.

My nephew works in the industry and thinks this will be a great replacement for the Resmed Swift mask. They say this Bravo is very quiet and has soft pillows like the hybrid mask. Same manufacturer as the Hybrid, Teleflex Medical.

I read some posts on another forum that online retailers will start selling the Bravo in 2 weeks. The online retailer near me (in Bakersfield) told me when I called him that he expects to get stock in the next 2-3 weeks and the price would be in the low $80s.

anyone know if it is for sale yet ?
I saw it advertised on an online site for around 100., I think, but they didn't even have it yet.

This mask is already out now, being 2008 - but I figured I'd post a follow-up in hopes that someone might read.
I have this mask, and have extreme difficulty breathing outward. The pin holes in the front are not big enough, and it forces a long, slow exhale which I find very uncomfortable.
Does anyone know of a better solution?
Thanks!
