I’m looking to switch from using a dust mask to one of those air helmets. Does anyone have information on the one that MicroClimate offers? The guy from Myth Busters reviewed it, but he was basing his review off using it for COVID. I was interested in this one because it’s made in the USA. However, I’m open to any others that are out there if anyone has a suggestion.

Make sure you get one that is rated for impact if you are using for turning. I didn’t see any ratings on the specs I saw. I use an AirtrendsPro and have been very happy with it.
thank you. I'll look into that one too.
is that one you are using the Trend Air/Shield Pro? If so, do you know if it can be worn with glasses?
I am using the Pro and I do where glasses. No problems with fit or clarity
I haven't heard of that manufacturer. I use a Sundstrom SR500/SR570. It's fantastic. It's made in Sweden.
Thank you.
There's a Sunstrom Safety SR500/SR580 "new open box" on Ebay right now for $800. Don't know anything about it other than its listed there.
