  • Higher protection in tight-fitting.
  • Longer battery run-time.
  • 40% lighter.

When to use the AYO WX HFM-W P-Boost Welding Half-Face Mask PAPR System instead of the 3M Speedglas/Adflo System?

When a better protection is needed:

  • The Versaflo can only be loose-fitting, while AYO WX HFM-W P-Boost PAPR provides dual-fitting, giving higher protection in tight-fitting.

When doing work requiring frequent donning and doffing:

  • The long hose and heavy belt-mounted power unit are a nuisance to don and doff.

When having an existing welding helmet:

  • AYO WX HFM-W Welding PAPR System allows you to use your existing welding helmet, enhancing protection and comfort over non-powered respirators while saving costs.

When you are on a budget:

  • The Speedglas/Adflo is over 2 times the cost of the AYO WX HFM-W P-Boost PAPR System. Why pay more for a product that is inferior in overall performance while doing the same job?
