Thanks to you guys for the new respirator. As a potter I find the Paftec cleanspace ideal. In the past i have used a triton respirator. It was quite cumbersome as it was built like the early diving bell helmets no where near as heavy but it did have ear muffs and of course protected your head from any dust at all but it was very uncomfortable and hot to wear.
Different potters have different needs: working in chrystaline glazes which melt at the base on to the shelves you need a respirator to spray glazes, make up glaze recipes or for general cleaning up dusts that contain a fair degree of silicon. I use it after every firing for a couple of hours to grind (with an electric grinder) the bases of the pots hence the need for ear muffs and glasses as well. The CleanSpace works with the muffs and glasses.
For me it is perfect, gives me a new freedom while glazing and I am really impressed with the air flow. It's a ripper cheers.

PAFtec CleanSpace BigChill neck cooling pad
Wore our new BigChill Neck Cooling Pad this week and walked home in the 85% humidity and 26C heat of Sydney Spring! It was awesome. Walking next to the busy highway, not only did I get clean fresh air ("breath-by-breath) but the neck pad was a comfortable cool all the way home. I can't wait for this product to come out the guys in Queensland are going to love it!
