Respirator

people with beards
I am using a uvex mask and I need some kind of air mask that could be used under the face shield and with a beard

On the other hand I shouldn’t need to wear a shield when sanding that should give a bigger choice of air mask to use

Any help is appreciated thanks

I'd just go with a Trend airshield or similar PAPR will offer positive air pressure within the whole face shield so no need for facemask and no worries about beards . I plan to, but still saving my pennies (Those PAPR are expensive, even homemade ones are still out of my budget at the moment) But it is on my "must buy" list.

I use and recommend the Powercap from Peke Safety. It is comfortable to wear for long periods of time and has a long battery life between charges. Works for beards and glasses. I use for both turning and sanding. Can't comment on other products because this is the only one I have ever owned and/or used. It is not cheap.
