Triton Air Shield?
 

I have an opportunity to purchase one at a reasonable price are they worth
it? Do they fog up when being used. Can you wear regular glasses underneath
the helmet. Please give me some feed back-they are not cheap.

I bought one, tried it and didn't like it, kept the dust out but found it
very heavy and uncomfortable. also, filter tended to require a lot of
cleaning.

I went back to a facemask with disposable cartridges (actually I don't
dispose of them, I vacuum them out.)

Others may like the Triton, I didn't. Ensure that you buy from a company
that has a good return policy.

Yes you can, and I do, wear glasses under it. Does a fine job of
filtering once it is fitted properly. It is heavier than the 3M I had
but not as noisey. I like mine but sometimes when I pick up the 3M I
kinda wonder ....Darryl

I have one and it works....I've never found cleaning of the primary
filter a problem (that's what it is there for after all). I do find
it heavy, however, it is so effective at keeping dust from your eyes
and lungs I find it an excellent product in that regard. It will only
fog up if you forget to turn on the power! The air is usually cooler
than your skin under the hood so it feels quite comfortable. Battery
life seems quite good following a recharge. I do find minor distortion
through the visor. They revised the hose to a much lighter, more
flexible material (I found the old hose actually pushed the helmet
forward on my head). I have a folded towel inside the helmet to raise
it higher on my head as there is no adjustment for that. Finally, you
may find you hit the helmet on things when you bend forward and after
having it on for a while you may even try to blow dust away from
something with teh visor still down!

Ran across a review of them vrs the Trend,
(http://www.taunton.com/finewoodworking/pages/w00149.asp ) the reviewer
thought the Trend was better. It was good enough for me (well, I played
with a Trend also), so I ordered the Trend

Your experience mirrors mine other than I haven't noticed any image
distortion through the visor and I find the helmet adjustments OK for my
head. One thing I like about it is the provision of a hard hat when turning
since being conked in the head by a flying blank is not unheard of.

I purchase one, and used it 5 times and it is starting to fall apart.

Correction, My face shield is a Trend and not Triton.
