I invented the PAPR, almost 50 years ago. Foolishly, I published it in a magazine with photos, rather than patent the concept. They have come a long way!

Brilliant review Ben, just what I needed to know. Cheers Jim

Soon as I started watching that I thought how long before your first Star Wars reference 😂😂😂 ... good vid buddy, cracking grinding room! JP x

excellent video, thanks for posting!

Thanks. Over the top for what I do though if I were often metalworking I'd go for one of those.

Great vlog, very useful, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for posting detailed video! How do you clean filters, by the way?

Love your lil axe for the box. I could do with one of them. Please send link to your shop 👍good vid

Ben's Grinder room. Always use personal protection.

For paint and fumes you need a tr600 w/ the organic vapor/carbon filter

Interesting video thanks

Looks like every time you flip it up small dust particles can get on the inside lens or material seal because you push it up above your glasses onto the top of the hood which is exposed to dust on because it’s exposed to the outside.

Amazing video..papr best for front line doctors to fight against covid

do you think you could extend the hose to make it longer? is it a standard hose size?

I'm going to have to order this for me and my wife and crew

Would these work cleaning old dusty log houses full of wood dust and insects dating from +200 years (1800-century) ? The floor and air is full of tiny dust particles visible with flashlight. 3M 7502 and 6800 are not sufficient. I use P3 and 6059 ABEK1 filters. 7502 is good but the seal fails if you move too much. ( 6800(medium) leaks too much it is not fit for my head. I don't know if 6900(large) is better.

Do you think it would work well for COVID-19? Or different type of mask?

Also curious if you researched the different models. I see you bough the tr-315 but there is a tr600 out as well as some other models. wondering what would be best for fine dust

tr600 has bigger filter bur mainly adds secondary function as a particulate + chemicals filtering device, where tr300 helps only with particulates as dusts. filters efficiency is the same (P3)

TR-315 if you need dust protection only. TR-600 if you need protection from chemicals/vapours/gasses as well.

Great review. My company has been at work on a PAPR with an all in one design monocoque manifold. Our aim is a PAPR that's more accessible to the maker crowd. When we have certification, would you be willing to give it a try to compare? Its called MicroClimate Air3.

Ben. Great vid. Question. I have a big tummy, Can I get a belt extension ???

Am a stonemason I am thinking of buying one thay sound good 👍

Great video and info thanks again Boba Fett

Will this protect me from latex paint, and drywall dust, and mold?

Well the beauty of this system is you can change the filters to suit what your working with. I have a particle filter but you need to get one that will work with other elements like paint and organic dust etc. 3M should be able advice what filter you need 👍

How would versaflo do in a sandstorm I'm goin to be working in a new harsh environment and want to be more prepared than just a shemagh and goggles 😂

Well you might find that the pre filter cloggs up but clean that out every so often and you should be golden. I think they are epic and so comfortable to wear for long periods. I can’t go back to normal masks now.

Excellent protection against the Coronavirus SARS-COV-2 too! Besides your workshop you can use it in the supermarket and public traffic and other busy public rooms also. I'm totally jealous.

any reason you chose this over the trend thats a third the price?

There’s really no comparison. Compared to the Versailles, the Trend is more of a toy. It puts the weight of motor and battery on your head. It has no certifications and only works for particulates. The Trend is like buying a condom that’s already opened. I mean sure it might work…
