In summary, AYO WX HFM-W P-Boost Welding PAPR can provide over 3M Adflo\/Speedglas:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Easier to don and doff.<\/li>\n
  • Dual-fitting, better usability and flexibility.<\/li>\n
  • Higher protection in tight-fitting.<\/li>\n
  • Longer battery run-time.<\/li>\n
  • 40% lighter.<\/li>\n
  • Easier maintenance.<\/li>\n
  • At least 1\/2 of the cost after combining a common welding helmet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

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

    When a better protection is needed<\/u>:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • The Versaflo can only be loose-fitting, while AYO WX HFM-W P-Boost PAPR provides dual-fitting, giving higher protection in tight-fitting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      When doing work requiring frequent donning and doffing<\/u>:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • The long hose and heavy belt-mounted power unit are a nuisance to don and doff.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        When having an existing welding helmet<\/u>:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • 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.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          When you are on a budget<\/u>:<\/p>\n

            \n
          • 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?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
