any experience with airshield pro respirator?

[Andy Pratt]

I'm looking into buying a powered respirator/face shield unit for use primarily when turning on the lathe and I'm sorting through options right now. During my search, I found some info on the airshield "pro" respirator from Trend. It seems like this is the 2nd version of their original airshield, but I can't find a ton of info on it. It looks better designed than the first, with the weight probably being more evenly distributed (more toward the back of the helmet) to eliminate neck strain. I'm not sure if it's even out yet, does anyone have one or know when they'll be available?

I'd be happy to hear from any users of the original if they think it's fine the way it is. I heard a review or two saying that the weight in the front was a little annoying, any thoughts on this?

Thanks,
Andy
