>Does anyone own this respriator? Been considering one, but would like to hear from some one who has experience. How is it in heat?

Thanks in advance.

>I have this respirator. I bought it because I am allergic to some exotics, but want to keep on turning. Among other things, I like the shroud which provides total protection from contact. I am very satisfied with it. While it is obviously warmer than wearing just a face shield, it isn't that uncomfortable.

>Its very good protection. Found it took a few wearings to get use to the helmet, if you wear a hard hat no problem. The batteries are good for several hours between charges like advertised.

Its great in the kitchen too, grating onions, did 6 and not a tear, no smell, nothing.

>I have the Triton and I'm happy with it. It is warmer than a face shield, and I have only had it since Jan and I don't think it will be a problem in the summer.

Ray, pop your onions in the freezer for about 20 minutes and you'll never shed a tear chopping onions again.

>I wear glasses under mine. Lots of room but it is better to remove your glasses when taking the hood/helmet on and off.

>Do a search about the Nova II chuck a couple of days ago. It had a link to an Austrailian company that also sells the Triton Resporator. It costs $295 Austrailian. Converted to US dollars that is $209 plus shipping. Might be worth the wait.
