How We Make Masks Comfortable and Convenient to Wear

It doesn't choke, doesn't press, and doesn't slip.

Here we'll tell you about how we learned to make comfortable masks for wearing.

All our masks feature a triple attachment system.
It sounds simple, but we spent a very long time refining it, figuring out exactly how it should look. And we finally found the version that we now use on practically all masks.

At the top of our attachment system, there is a sturdy strap (the kind that won't fray into threads). An elastic band of the same width is attached to the side.
At the connection point on our masks, we don't use a ring, as many others do, but a special part that we print on our 3D printer. All of this makes the fastening truly high-quality and durable.
Some masks, like the Cyber Cat mask, and practically all helmet-masks, need to be specially adjusted to fit well on the head. That's why we often use foam padding to prevent the mask from sliding down over the eyes or wobbling.

On large masks, such as the Wendigo mask, there can be additional pressure points on the head. We line these areas with soft, natural leather, which won't cause allergies and feels pleasant against the face.
Sometimes we encounter masks with poor ventilation, meaning that if left as is, it would be hot and difficult to breathe inside.

In such cases, we add extra holes in places where they can be concealed. For example, in the Pig mask, we made such holes under the cap.

Since this mask was made for a DJ, and also just to improve hearing, we added even more holes directly in the ears. We also made openings in the eyes and mouth – places where they look natural.
For some large masks, we have to devise additional fastening systems.

For instance, for our largest mask – the Tyrannosaurus mask – we print a special chin rest. The thing is, this mask has more straps and elastics, and when you put it on, one of them tightens under the chin.

The chin rest is padded with leather and prevents the elastic from slipping off or pressing too hard. You can talk without worrying that the elastic will slide somewhere.

We make masks based on individual sketches, refine some, and after producing a mask, we figure out the best way to further improve it for comfortable and secure wear.
We have extensive experience working with masks and various materials. We will craft a comfortable mask for you, and you won't need to think about how to make it more comfortable to wear.

But we always take your wishes into account.

Sometimes we receive orders for masks with, for example, poor visibility (as was the case with the Pig mask).

Please keep this in mind when ordering a mask from our workshop.
