I wonder if I am the only person on here that does this? Reading various threads people talk about air fed or expensive commercial masks that actually seem inferior.
I use the Avon S10 - they can be bought cheaply on Ebay for less than £50. They come in 5 sizes so be careful - a 4 or 5 is way too small.
They never mist up - they can be worn for quite a while - and they offer fantastic protection.
You can get new foiled sealed filters. Quite a few have expired dates but as long as the foil seal is intact they will be fine.
There is also a company making new filters. Arco.

I cover the lenses with plastic film when blasting or grinding - I ruined one pair when the lenses became frosted!
OK I know they aren't approved so you can't use them commercially but I would have thought for your average DIYer it is the best protection you will ever have.
