Bradwest Aircap the best mask by far, covers the whole head and battery powered

[just ask me]

great post i should wear one i know

[snorts]

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]

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!

I have never used an air cap but 9yrs ago i used to wear a very similar industrial mask which was for working in asbestos factory just down the road from me it was just the same air blower everything and a cape that went over your head and down your back didnt work for me had to get rid of birds.Had double lung transplant 18 months ago, had birds back 16mths use rubber mask gloves wide brimmed hat had no problems at all.

a dust mask is good enough for me.if you already have problems with the birds dust then use a better one.
