I think as long as he doesn't look up, in pained surprise, he should be OK.

Snap, I'm a service engineer in food and pharma factories.
I don't often have to cover my face though, unless I've not had a shave, then it's usually a beard snood.

[QUOTE 2915243, member: 9609"]I'm guessing that blows clean air over the face ?
The reason I ask, I have got to that stage in life where I need reading glasses to see what I am doing - glasses are useless with dust masks as they just steam up. How would I get on with glasses with the thing in your picture ?[/quote]
The gizmo round his waste is a fan / rechargeable battery pack which draws air through a replaceable filter. The filtered air gets blown up the curly-whirly tube and gets blown down gently over your face. Because the helmet is at a slight positive pressure, no dusty air enters the helmet when you breath. Yes, you can easily use it wearing glasses but you have to keep the visor really clean to get good vision.
There are lots of different types.

Does she ride too, then (since she's wearing knee sliders)? Nice bike that GSXR. I'm more of a plodder nowadays since the eyesight and reactions aren't what they were. The CBF is more than adequate now. Love it just the same!She follows me more than her mum(but not in personality)
