Leon Paul mask size

Hi, I'm looking to buy a LP mask, but I'm not sure of my size and there are two different size chart on their website. My head is about 25". If I use the chart in the general sizing section, I should take a medium. But If I use the chart in the mask info section, I should take a large. Wich chart is the right one ? I tried to email them and haven't got an answer. And I would like to know if the size is different between the contour fit system and the regular one.

Thx

first of all, there is no difference concerning which systems you use. they are practically the same frame, so the sizing is the same. My head can barely fit into a medium chinese mask(like ones BG or Absolute sell), but for LP medium, it doesnt fit at all. So I am guess LP masks are half a size smaller than house brand ones that sold by BG or Absolute. With that in mind, I advise you that try on some1 else's LP masks before you buy since 25 is pretty close to the edge of medium(the ones in the sizing section is the true size, ones in the mask info setions are one size smaller than it should be). It might be tight and uncomfortable for you if you have a irregular head shape, like round face or really long face. I am buying one too, but I tried it on at summer national, so i what I should buy. (26' head, medium is too short for me, and I have a fairly round face)

25" is right on the border. If you were getting a standard fit, I'd lean toward large; a contour-fit and I would lean towards medium.

That said, the best bet is to try on a club mate's.
