Improvement over previous generation. Softer, more effective bracket. Not perfect, though.
I was intrigued and interested in this upgraded mask bracket. Indeed, I feel it is an improvement over the previous generation bracket. It seems a bit larger and is constructed of softer silicone. This softer material, seemingly more malleable, conforms to the face better. Also, the shape is more triangular, which accommodates the positioning around the nose and mouth.<br />The larger holes compensates for the more numerous, smaller openings found in prior masks. So, I felt it was actually a bit easier to breathe with this bracket under a mask.<br />Is it perfect? No. But I think it's practically impossible to design a bracket that would work for everyone. It can't be one size fits all. Luckily, these just barely fit my facial features. I would have liked it to be slightly larger, but it still seems effective at the current sizing.<br />I don't wear glasses, so I can't comment on resistance to fogging. I'm giving one to my sister, she wears glasses, and will get her opinions on fit and whether it effectively deals with the fogging issues. I will amend this review/rating upon receipt of that evaluation.<br />Attached are photos to show real world images, with a ruler for size reference.<br />My initial impressions are positive. Thus, I feel the brackets deserve a 4 star rating, with a high level recommendation.
Rating: 4 stars
