3M PAPR, Versaflo Respiratory Hard Hat M-307, For Powered Air Purifying Respirator, Premium Coated Polycarbonate Visor and Flame Resistant Face Seal, 1/Case

This mask is a game changer. I hooked it up to my 3M adflo welding helmet unit and it is awesome. I can grind for hours in comfort and stay safe (well, at least keep my face and lungs safe).

Work in a ED as a rn, this is helmet is a huge improvement over the more disposable papr hood that I have been using for 8 months of COVID patients. Would recommend to other health care workers.

Very well built and comfortable. I looked at several hoods before choosing this one. Most of them would not meet the same standards as this one. None of them were as comfortable as this hood. All of the replacement parts are readily available and you have the choice of a belt pack or ambient air pump. I would recommend this hood for anyone that needs a PAPR.

The positive air pressure won’t let the powder coat into the helmet

Using this with an adapter and my older 3M Adflo system. It's much more comfortable than the older versions.

availability of accessories and parts

Does the job well. Keeps the user very comfortable and cooled with a cooling regulator

If you are in heavy industry, this is the headpiece for you. But if you are in healthcare, like me, it is not usable as the inner shrouding system covers the ears and you cannot use a stethoscope or even hear what is going on in the room if the blower is on. Wasted order, I was so busy with Covid (using my hood) I blew through the return deadline and will end up selling it on ebay. Wasted effort.
