Description Description The face blank is made of a special soft rubber compound and assures a snug, comfortable fit and a tight seal. Some versions of the mask are also available in small size. The inhalation air flows from the connector of the mask past the inhalation valve to the inside of the lens [thus keeping the lens largely fog-free] and then through the check valves into the nose cup.
