I have had the Gajardoni HEMA mask and I am not a fan of the rubber protectors: I have to replace them every 1-2 years, because the get cut and sliced up after heavy use. I was able to order replacement rubber rings, but in your design it looks like that would be an impossible fix to do on your own as it is stitched down to the mask. Any thought on this?

Plastidip?

[@alpenjon]

@@YevhenRawrs Interesting - have you tried it?

[@YevhenRawrs]

@@alpenjon I have not. And the more I think about it, plastidip is probably even weaker than the rubber on there and would likely shred :P
I suppose a light overlay without a BOH protector to help preserve the rubber rings could work without being too much extra
