摘要

A headgear and a method of forming the headgear for use in combination with a breathing apparatus are provided. The headgear has a top strap and a bottom strap connected to the top strap at a position between end portions of the bottom strap. A unitary plastic core material is integrally formed within textile casings of both the top strap and the bottom strap. In some configurations, the plastic core material penetrates or bursts-through the textile casing of the straps.
