I use the Breeze and tried several chinstraps (including do-it-yourself). When someone on this forum recommended the DesignVeronique universal facial band #210, I ordered it. It has worked very well for me, and I don't feel the price ($34 +s/h)is excessive. You can adjust it to any degree of tightness. It is soft and 3-1/2" wide, and velcro will stick to it anywhere. It comes with 2-1" short velcro straps to keep the chinstrap in place. I add two small velcro pieces over the Breeze headgear straps to keep the Breeze in place. A cotton ball at the bottom keeps my lips from opening. Mouth leaks were a major problem for me, and the available full face masks do not fit. I'm grateful to the person on this Forum who mentioned this product in late May-early June.
