Trend Airshield Pro Respirator, AIR/PRO

First off lets be clear about this - when Trend say this is a 'Pro' item they may be stretching the point a little because heavy duty does not immediately spring to mind here and I would imagine that abuse will quickly render this item DOA. Materials and construction are nothing better than okay with a slightly irritating headband adjuster that seems to need resetting each time I use the mask.Battery life is enough for a days on and off use and it will charge overnight fine. The battery is not a LiOn one as far as I can tell so will have a memory and won't last for years. It is designed to fit this mask specifically so not sure what I'll do when it dies but as an electro-mechanical engineer I'll sort something out.This all sounds a bit negative - which it is - however the mask regains it's five star rating because it works and as long as I continue to treat it with respect I don't expect it to get broken.Anyway, as I said it works. When fitted it is comfortable despite being fairly weighty and the face seal works easily and well. In use the air supply is plentiful and working in full blast of a router and my saw bench was in no way difficult with as far as I could tell zero dust and a clear view of my work. In the end this mask does what it is supposed to do and that is to protect my lungs and eyes better than any other mask I've used. For that I can forgive the slight niggles.

I wear this in my workshop when sanding and woodturning. I find it brilliant as I wear glasses that usually steam up with normal mouth/nose masks. Yes, there is some noise from the fan on your head but I find the sander makes more of a din!The ventilator protects my lungs and eyes and I find the air flow across my face quite comforting.The battery last ages, I haven't managed to run it out yet.I consider this to be a good investment.

Purchased this one for a couple of reasons.1. I wear glasses and am fed up with them steaming up2. I have a long beard.Once the battery had charged for 24 hours I put it to the test and wasn't disappointed. My beard fits up inside and secondly my glasses didn't steam up at all.When it's on I don't feel claustrophobic at all and the adjustment at the back means a good fit. It's very well made as you'd expect from Trend.I Purchased an additional battery and the remote charger at the same time so I'll always have a fully charged battery.One very minor gripe, it says it comes with a storage bag. For the price I was expecting a good quality bag to keep it in. What you get is basically a plastic carrier bag that has a draw string. Luckily enough I have a spare motorcycle crash helmet bag I can use to store it. As I said just a minor gripe but overall very pleased with it.

I have toyed for a long time , about buying an Airpro Mask . I recently turned a bowl from Amoroko which was dusty when sanding. I decided to buy the Airpro to see if it made a difference. It really does make it difference, a cool stream of air across your face, makes it very pleasant to wear. It is not cheap, but I do believe it stops me breathing in wood dust, so it is worth the cost.

I bought mine about 8 month ago my job is on a line picking in a recycling plant which there is s lot of dust. So I wear it for 8hours a day, best thing I’ve bought . The only thing I wear extra is a Bobby hat as wearing it for 8 hours I was getting s cold head but apart from that it’s an excellent bit of kit

This product is as described. I've been using it for woodworking purposes for some weeks now and it performs well. It is a little heavy on the head, but the amount of dust it stops being inhaled is amazing. Battery life is as described and easily lasts a day of hard work! One observation is that when working in cold conditions, the air being blown across the face is very cool! I had to stop after 30 mins on a particularly cold day and let my face warm up! However this is not a fault of the mask, just the UK weather.Overall, build quality is good, and as long as it is looked after, should last a long while.

This works well but can get tiring if your wearing it for a long time. Its great if you wear glasses as they don't get fogged up like some of the half face face masks. I'm surprised that they haven't updated the battery pack from nickle hydride to lithium in the five years since I bought it considering the price has nearly doubled from £190 to £367.

BrilliantSo glad I ordered this productAs a bearded bespectacled decorator I often get asked for a face fit test, so yeah I could shave but my glasses still become steamed up, this product doesn’t require a face fit according to our onsite HSE but still preformed one and this mask/helmet passed no problem.Wore all day without any problems and felt cool and chill at the end of the day plus my beard was clean without having to use my balaclava.Brilliant product can’t recommend enough.
