Very comfortable even in 90 degree temps in my shop. I wish I would have bought a long time ago.
I use the CoolAir system for sanding and sweeping in my workshop, and it’s been a game-changer. Super lightweight, easy to wear all day, and I don’t feel overheated like I did with other gear.

It's nice it works excellent and it works for two and a half to 3 days straight like it said but I have to leave it in the freezer longer than 20 minutes for it to add the extra few hours to it of coldness
I love my PowerCap and the folks at Peke Safety who provide excellent advice and support for it.
Peke safety products are very high quality. They're as good and often better than the big name products, but at more reasonable prices
My Powercap is now about 4 or 5 years old. I just purchased a replacement "cap" from Peke Safety for $40. The cap is the chassis that supports all the other pieces. I have replaced the neoprene face cuff also. This thing just keeps on going.
As an important note to users, when you get your Powercap, take the neoprene cuff off (it is held on with velcro) and do a zigzag stitch around the edge. This will make the cuff last a long time. It is cheaper for us to just do this than to ask the manufacturer, so just accept that and enjoy your Powercap. I love mine now even after all these years.
If you are a woodworker (and especially if you are a micro carver making very fine dust) this will help your lung health. A lot of wood dust is a lung irritant, and the smaller the particle the worse they are.
Hi quality the old shield was hard to remove but once removed the new shield was easy to install and the over shield went on easily and I am excited to use the helmet soon.
Its a great Idea but I think it could be made better. Love the filters up top, love the air flow. But the back flow valve could cut my nose if I’m hit on the mask by flying wood. The flanges are like velcro for wood chips and can’t be cleaned. Maybe if they were silicone or rubber.. very happy that I can wear my glasses under the mask and not ruin the seal. Overall I love it. Changes the game.
I ordered the power cap bundle in December and have used it for the dusty work over the last six months. All I can say is that I should’ve bought this years ago. It is comfortable. and removes nuisance dust. It is easy to clean and maintain. 5 Star all the way – both the Power Cap, and Peke safety. I have used it for metal grinding, woodworking, stone carving, and building demolition.
My powercap is a game changer during grass pollen season here in western Oregon. Filtered air keeps my allergy symptoms down and the air on my face helps keep me cool while mowing, weed whacking, etc.
Well made. Adjusts in several ways to adapt to your head.
Impact resistant - within 5 minutes of donning it, I had a larged piece of wood launch off my lathe & hit the mask dead center. Just a scuff on the plastic lens - this is a great safety tool!
works great better life better than expected, Not heavy to wear, makes a big difference no fog issue for glass wearing.
I tried this respirator at the Oregon Woodturning Symposium and liked it. I can say that at home I like it even better. I can see well with my glasses and have not noticed any dust. Great pruchase.
The new face shield seems a bit smaller. I never had to reset my glasses after removing the mask.
In do Epoxy floors and this thing has changed the game for me as I am super allergic to the fumes. Wish I got it 6 years ago. I have recommended it to at least 20 installers.
I am very happy with the PowerCap active. Easy to use, easy to charge, comfortable, wonderful sight when in use. I am a home hobbyist, woodworker with some metal working machines. I like the PowerCap for wood and for metal working.
I use my power cap every day. It works great and keeps me safe. It keeps all the tiny wood particles out of my lungs. And they have the best customer service around.
I bought this face shield for my wife. That should give you some idea about the confidence I have in it. It’s clear, comfortable, and gives good coverage. I still have my other “extra” face shield for visitors, but this one will be kept exclusively for my wife. Highly recommended!
