Headgear is the part of a mask nobody thinks about until the seal stops working. Straps stretch gradually with washing, body heat and nightly tension, and because the change happens over months rather than overnight, the wearer compensates by pulling everything tighter. That is the wrong fix: overtightened headgear distorts the cushion, presses on the bridge of the nose and creates the leak it was tightening to stop. Fitting fresh headgear restores the original tension and usually solves a leak that was being blamed on the cushion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/2716\/3717\/files\/855DF967-E3F3-4955-9FD1-C062D3414DFC.png?v=1787092602\" alt=\"\"\u003eWhat is included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"pw-table\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eItem\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCondition\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAirStrap headgear\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOne compatible headgear for F20 masks, with adjustment tabs, as photographed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pw-badge pw-new\"\u003eNEW\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is not included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"pw-table pw-excluded\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eItem\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStatus\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMask frame\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe frame the headgear attaches to\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pw-badge pw-sold\"\u003eSOLD SEPARATELY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCushion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSilicone or foam cushion for the frame\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pw-badge pw-sold\"\u003eSOLD SEPARATELY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eElbow and vent assembly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMask elbow with vent and quick release\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pw-badge pw-sold\"\u003eSOLD SEPARATELY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eComplete mask\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA full mask assembly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pw-badge pw-sold\"\u003eSOLD SEPARATELY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTubing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard or heated tubing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pw-badge pw-sold\"\u003eSOLD SEPARATELY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pw-note\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere the headgear carries magnetic clips\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eF20 masks are commonly supplied with magnetic headgear clips.
