Abstract: There is a requirement within certain environments to provide an individual with positive pressure air flow or oxygen flow, commonly referred to as Positive Air Pressure (PAP). Such environments including sleeping, racing, and firefighting for example and addressed within the prior art by approaches such as full face masks or inserts into the users nostrils and/or mouth. However, such approaches have limitations in respect of at least one of allowing speech, smell, or motion. According to embodiments of the invention the user is provided with a head covering that provides placement of vents in proximity of the user's nostril and/mouth. The connection from the source of positive pressure, such as pump or pressurized container, includes in some embodiments gimbal elements to provide increased flexibility of user motion.
