Seems a bargain. I paid a similar price years ago.

Thanks, I also bought the same last year. I see this is even cheaper, they seemed to add vat on last year and it is vat included this year? Anyway, good mask and great price.

Should be vat-free shouldn't it?

Should be vat free I would have thought.

Didn't catch it at the time. Bit of a nuisance that, anyone else caught out last year?

I have used these masks, but I wouldn't trust the "press to check feature"

I didnt know what the "press to check" was, but, from what ive just read, its akin to holding your thumb over the end of a snorkel tube and trying to suck?

If no air comes through at comparable vacuum levels / movement etc surely that's fairly conclusive?

(ive, basically, given up with negative pressure masks, as i never find they seal properly)

Thats the biggest bit of misleading marketing by a respirator manufacturer

I had a field day with this when at the HSE
Folk often confuse this with a face fit
