A patient interface includes a plenum chamber, a seal-forming structure, and a positioning and stabilising structure. The positioning and stabilising structure includes a gas delivery tube to deliver the flow of air to the entrance of the patients airways via the seal-forming structure, and an elongate textile sleeve provided around the gas delivery tube and arranged to be in contact, in use, with the patients face. The sleeve includes a wall with an opening, which allows the patient to view a portion of the gas delivery tube. A strap engaging portion is configured to protrude through the opening of the textile sleeve in use. A clearance exists in a longitudinal direction between an edge of the opening and the strap engaging portion. The clearance allows the gas delivery tube to stretch, in use, without the strap engaging portion contacting the edge of the opening.
