Wow now amazon is selling the gvs one you linked for $52. You gotta love the 80% mark up due to “inflation”.

[@calebferguson7567]

Does it only take protect against particulates? Does it protect against say fumes from paint burning if your welding? Also is there a Respirator that will protect against that that fits under a welding hood

[@metalwerx3717]

This one fits under my hood. I use it for the dust and fumes but it's best to research the capabilities of the filters you buy

[@Welder-wt4ib]

Anything is better than nothing 👍

[@chrisp9046]

It does not protect against fumes or vapors. There’s another kind of filter with an additional layer of carbon that helps with odors and fumes but this still doesn’t help with vapors. GVS and miller have other models of respirators. The miller LPR-100 OV is a step above this. Filtering paint fumes and vapors. GVS has something similar and another step up on that one. Nothing really ridiculously priced either. Looking into the miller LPR-100 OV to make sure it fits under the hood. Might look into the GVS models as well but they seem a bit bulkier.

This mask has no exhaust and seemingly no available option to purchase such a feature. Some users might have trouble breathing due to that fact.
