Dust

[Flem]

Awesome! Looking forward to a review

Looks good, you must tell us how it works. Language is a strange thing, the word dust translated to Norwegian means something like idiot.

[Flem]

Maybe thats a reference to the idiots who inhale dust

I tried it on in the house last night after charging the battery. It’s not too heavy or loud and I like the breeze blowing over my face. I think it will be nice in hot weather.
I’ll give it a good workout on the weekend and I’ll let you know what I think.

Can you wear glasses with your helmet Dave?

[wood carver 2]

Yup! Glasses no problem. 😁
I have a day off tomorrow so I’ll try to give it a run and I’ll let you guys know what I think. So far I like it. It looks to be  well made and most parts, if not all, are replaceable. The helmet part is an actual impact resistant construction helmet with a fully adjustable suspension and it comes with a thin film that you put on over the visor to protect it from scratching. I bought a package of 40 of the visor cover films. You have to shop around a bit for those. One place sells 10 for $42 and another place sells 40 for $70. 🤔

Here you go. It’s not too easy to take a selfie with an iPad, hence the funny angle.

I was able to try out the air helmet this afternoon. I was cutting lots of small pieces of maple, walnut and padauk so I put it on and I’m very happy with it. The padauk really brought home to me how well it works. It has a peculiar smell to it when it’s cut or sanded. When I wore the helmet, I couldn’t smell it. I was comfortable with it on and I hardly noticed the sound of the fan motor. The air blowing through the helmet felt good too. I’m going to love it when it’s hot.
After I was done cutting, I took it off and I noticed that it was covered in red dust.
I never really paid attention to this before. The amount of dust on the outside of the helmet was surprising. I can only imagine how much dust I have breathed in over the years. I always tell people that you are what you eat and I have eaten a lot of wood. 😁

Ah Dave

LMFAO:)

[Flem]

Wow, thats great. Good for you, glad you found a solution
I like that it fits over your head and is not strapped on. Thats what gets fatiguing for me, having the thing ratcheted down on my face.
Looks like you have to wear in ear hearing protection. Cant see how to get muffs on with that helmet.

3M has ear muffs that clip onto the helmet. They can be flipped out of the way when you don’t need them.
When I need them, I have a fitted in ear set from work.
