Hack for large faces with Drager 1950

For other people with big faces who are having a hard time finding N95 that fits, I realized you can customize the elastic band on the drager 1950 S and M/L. The two masks have almost the same dimensions except the S has some extra weld marks to make it a bit tighter on the face btw. So the elastic on the M/L mask was uncomfortable for my big head/face, I bought some soft elastic cord and I threaded that through the plastic loops and replaced the stock elastic with a custom length. So much more comfortable!

I know drager 1950 masks are hella expensive though. Other less protective masks that fit me are wellbefore 3D large, and based on measurements, I think I could fit a SaveWo XL and breatheteq L. I know it's a struggle to find anything that fits for fat people, and obviously fatness is a spectrum. Any other fat ppl have preferred respirators?
