I've been using a competing face/dust shield for about 5 years. It was showing its age in a number of areas. So at the recent SWAT woodturners symposium, I was able to see the Powercap. It is remarkable for weighing so much less than my previous shield, and the visibility is better also. I wore my old faceshield when turning and especially when sanding. I find I'm wearing the Powercap for more shop activities like working with the table saw, planer and drum sander. It's so light, I just leave it on.

The peel off visor protector was easy to install, and will protect the face shield well.

If you wear glasses, put it on chin first, then pull it over your head. This should be in the product directions. My only gripe is the air velocity is a little lower than my old shield. It would be nice if it moved air a little faster.

I had looked at the Powercap specifications a few times but I was deterred by the listed product weight. The specifications I found listed the weight as being greater than my old face shield. I learned at SWAT that the specifications list the shipping weight and not the weight of the helmet. You'll probably increase sales if this is corrected.

I really like the fit and visibility of the the respirator. But the battery back giving you that constant air flow is awesome. Really nice for saw cutting concrete. Would recommend to anybody with a big beard.

I’ll be honest.. I have been using it for almost everything I’m doing in my shop. It’s refreshing I am not congested afterwards, even though I used respirators prior to this product.
The motor is not loud whatsoever. Super light and almost feels natural to the head.
I Will possibly be getting another one in the near future.
One thing I am not pleased about is my battery pack isn’t holding charge for very long.
Aside of that no complaints

When working in confined spaces it works well, because your hose and filter do not get in the way, along with line of site much better.

great fit on shield
