Full face respirators

[big tim]

Does anyone have any experience with either the JSP "Powercap IP" or the Trend "Airshield" respirators. Both are full face units.
If you have a beard it tends to be difficult to get a good seal around a dust mask and this could solve that problem. I saw both units on a UK website www.toolpost.co.uk quite some time ago. Not cheap!

I think either is about $100 more than the Triton here in Canada. Even less for the Triton if you buy from Woodturnerscatalog.

I've got the Trend Air Shield as I have a full beard. I like it quite a bit, it's light and comfortable. I considered the Triton but felt the powerpack would be in my way-cumbersome in my work.
