An exo mask, in the context of at least one known product, is a type of full-face mask that utilizes an external, high-impact plastic frame, called an EXO® Skeleton, connected to a one-piece face seal. This design creates a comfortable and strong mask.
Here's a breakdown of the key characteristics:
- External Frame: The defining feature is the rigid external frame, providing structural support.
- EXO® Skeleton: This proprietary frame design, at least in the example provided, is marketed as the EXO® Skeleton.
- High-Impact Plastic: The frame is constructed from durable, high-impact plastic.
- One-Piece Face Seal: The face seal is a single piece, often designed to create a comfortable and secure fit against the face.
- Trampoline Fashion: The connection between the frame and the seal allows for movement and flexibility, described as working in a "trampoline fashion."
- Comfort and Strength: This design aims to maximize both the comfort for the wearer and the overall strength and durability of the mask.
In essence, an exo mask uses an external skeleton to provide structure and support, enhancing both comfort and resilience.
