I am now in the market for a new respirator, (the motor (battery operated one was dead when I went to use it).
I am considering

and
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... K:MEWAX:IT
The first 1 is a half mask in which I would just use my old abrasive hood over top (I think it might give more protection since the half mask is sealed on your face as opposed to the hood which has free flowing air to it.
I'd like to get one of trhe advanced ones, but $1,000+ isn't in the cards right now. I intend to get a better one eventually and use this one just for painting my signs (which is another reason I am considering the half mask version and adding a hood over top). I think the half mask delivers 8 cfm at 40 feet.
What ya think?
