Hi,

The Trend Airshield that I use is superb. I would advise the purchase of an
extra battery pack in order that you don't take risks of lung damage when
the first one goes flat and some tear-offs so that good visibility is
maintained now and for the future. The only caution I have is that if you
have a very wide head it would be uncomfortable after a short period.
Together with my Microclene filter I enjoy turning in a much safer
environment. Remember, Robert Sorby, Ashley Iles and Hamlet make excellent
tools, but are unable to supply spare lungs!

I'm in the market for a powered respirator and these two seem to be the
main
options currently available in the UK. Anyone care to express an opinion?
