almeehan Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 Bradwest Aircap the best mask by far, covers the whole head and battery powered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just ask me Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 great post i should wear one i know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snorts Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 Im afraid i wouldnt wear the air cap in the link given if you look at the picture of someone wearing it in the loft you can look through visor at front and see his ear and nestboxes behind dosnt fit to his head well wouldnt keep much dust out.I use the rubber facemask and buy new filters once a fortnight,find them brilliant only problem condensation but you learn to cough and it blows it out of mask.

almeehan Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 The aircap is battery operated and blows filtered air down over your face, so it doesn't have to be an exact fit, it also covers your complete head which stops dust getting into your hair. There is no comparison between the aircap and any rubber mask. I've tried them all and aircap is by far the best.... when you get used to wearing it. You should also wash your hands and face when leaving the loft. I also wear a loft coat and shoes which I keep in a shed outside the loft. Can't be too careful with your health!
