What kind of hearing protection can you wear with it? Do you have to use their proprietary stuff?
Well, maybe I just need to get into better a mask wearing regimen. Don't really need the face protection.
I'm guessing for most of your turning, you are generating chips, not dust, so it's more for face protection, and then for dust protection.
I've gotten better about hearing protection, but have to admit I still need to work on protecting my lungs.
Yeah, I wouldn't mind something all in one. It's complicated getting this get-up on.

Ok, I'm sold... Just ordered one...
That nice of a shop and no heat? The Airshield would add a chill factor with that air blowing on your face.
I wear a two band, N95 face mask most of the time---always when sanding. However, I feel top-heavy with ear protection, safety glasses and dust mask. Am I going to feel worse this way (top heavy and closed in that is) if I spend the $300? My billfold area will certainly feel lighter.
Jim, the N95 will only work if it's professionally fitted. We do it every year in the hospital and DMAT. It is done in an enclosed hood with a solution of aerosolized Bitrex. There are several sizes and brands of masks. Not all work the same way and if you haven't been fit tested, it's not doing much.
Cynthia you need to get some better glass's I will show you what I use in construction and I think you will ditch those goggles. I might even have an extra pair hanging around.

For some reason this reminded me of that scene in Back to the Future where Marty dons the hazmat helmet, puts his Walkman headphones on [his dad] while he's sleeping, and then hits Play. The guy wakes up to see Darth Vader from the planet Vulcan, who threatens to melt his brain if he doesn't take [Marty's mother] to the Enchantment Under the Sea dance.
Scary!
