A latch headgear attachment mechanism for a respiratory mask. The headgear attachment comprising a support assembly (40) for a respiratory interface device (8), the support assembly having a coupling assembly (50) for a mask (10). The coupling assembly includes at least one elongated stand-off member (52) having a first end (54) and a second end (56). The stand-off member first end has a pivot assembly (60). The stand-off member second end has a strap coupling (58). The stand-off member first end pivot assembly is pivotally coupled to the mask. Thus, the stand-off member may move between a first configuration, wherein the stand-off member second end is spaced from the mask (and visible to the user), and a second configuration, wherein the stand-off member second end is disposed adjacent to the mask (and tucked out of the way).
