Considering a Speedglas 9100mp

admin

My old (10 years) E680 is getting a bit long in the tooth and a bit glitchy, and am starting to consider replacement, and keeping it as just a spare.Has anyone used a 9100mp with the face seal and cartridge, hardhat, and ear muffs? Specifically looking for anyone that has used it in a humid or harsh environment, but welcome any input.I'm also looking at the 684, Panoramaxx, and Crystal 2.0.  I don't think those have any concessions for hard hats, however. I'd also have to settle for a demi-mask respirator with pancakes or remote hoses under those if it'll fit, as I'm not looking for a PAPR.For anyone using any of the above, are there any obvious failure points on their chosen masks?Thanks in advance for any useful responses.Last second additon; I think I recall @ExpatWelder had a 9100?Tango
Reply:I think a guy at my work has the 2.0. It’s a really nice mask

Reply:I have the 9100, not the hard hat version...I love it...and so do my lungs.  I was getting crushing headaches with no breathing protection...fixed that!


Reply:I know this thread is a little old, but since it's been revived, I'll give my 2 cents worth.I have the Miller Digital Infinity clear view and the Optrel Crystal 2.0.The Miller is great, but the Optrel is awesome. Just like looking through a clear shield and the best view of the puddle that I've seen.ESAB emp215icEverlast 250EX / WatercoolerVictor Cutmaster 42Victor Journeyman O/ALincoln Electric Weldanpower 225 AC/DC
