Half Mask & Full Face Mask Size Guides
CHOOSING THE CORRECT MASK SIZE
Below is a general guide based on body weight (note that facial measurements are more accurate for ensuring correct fit).
- LARGE - 115kgs to 140kgs
- MEDIUM - 70kgs to 115kgs
- SMALL - 45kgs to 70kgs
We recommend taking exact measurements using the method described below to determine the correct mask size for your facial structure.
- Measure from the centreline of your face at your mouth to at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) past the outside corner of your mouth (you might want to ask a friend to assist you). The outer edge of the mask should sit against your face at 1 to 1.5 inches (2.5 to 3.8 cm) outside the corner of your mouth
- Double the measurement you have taken and match to the best fit from the below:
- LARGE - 5 inches (12.7 cm) 250lbs +
- MEDIUM - 4.5 inches (11.4 cm) 150 to 249
- SMALL - 4 inches (10.2 cm) 100lbs to 145
