Very nice!

I like the head's up display inside the mask. That's very neat.

You a "Wild n pink" girl then, Sparkey?

Oh yeah! i quite like the purple one too, what's it called...Steel eyes!

They're quite pricey tho....
186 USD, that's about 134 euros...

 

[knoba]

One can't put a price on safety, quality & comfort though, can one?

Well... yes! Apparently, one can, and we're all worth every cent of it!

The steel eyes looks fine for anyone to me.

Reading back this thread, i'm starting to understand why we don't have many women on our forum....

...it's quality that counts, Sparkey, not quantity.

Your input is always appreciated; it's worthwhile keeping an eye on companies, like 3M, that innovate and see a much bigger picture.

So is it just the graphics that make them female specific? Or is there some other changes (an equivalent of a petite sizing perhaps)?

Arran.

Good question Arran!
Yes, i think you're right, it's only the graphics that change...the filter is a 100V...
I'm wearing a 9000 series with flip up and adflo system at work, and i have no trouble at all adjusting it to my head...(or maybe i have a big head??)
So i think they considered this already when they designed the headband!

And they improved it too i think, looky here, page 8:

Edit to RustyBus' question:

Sorry, i was wrong! In fact the headband IS smaller so it can fit better for (women's) smaller head size!
Apologies for the wrong info!

 

[Wozzaaah]

Thanks for steering this thread back on-topic, I've had a tidy up so can we PLEASE keep it on topic?
All off-topic drivel from this thread is now in Sparkey's 'any more girls' one.
