Battery powered respirators

[Mike Jordan]

Anyone have any suggestions for a replacement for the Trend airshield pro. I've just had the second headband break at the same point as the last one! It's obviously a design fault, at £50 quid a throw its one I can't afford. I always keep the device in its box when not in use and treat it with care. My last Racal Airlight lasted for years without problems, it was lighter in weight and was only replaced after the second set of batteries died of old age. I've tried the air cap and don't rate it, any other suggestions?

I've been very pleased with my Axminster Powered Respirator (https://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-apf-10-evolution-powered-respirator-101809) which I've had and used regularly for the last two years.

Thanks but that is the air cap by another name. It may be that it's been improved but it was pretty poor in its original form having been originally sold to give protection to pigeon fanciers against disease.

Has anyone tried repairing the headband on one of the Airshields.

Ah, apologies Mike. At least I feel safe from the pigeons that congregate outside my shed

Thanks anyway it was worth a try, it obviously works well for you.
