I kinda want a full-face #elastomeric #respirator...it will probably draw even more stares than the half-mask, but it feels good to be insulated from "the outside", and I kinda want the same for my eyes. I also like the idea of applying a dark film to the visor (as documented by :anne_triangle: Ξ-44203.1 'Carbon' :neobot_floof: (npub1rvzβ¦ay8v) on its blog) to hide more of my face.
But I imagine it will be a total PITA to don and doff for drinking water, or eating something, or talking to people...
Surely someone somewhere has tried to make a hydration port for these things?
And what about a little microphone which connects to a Bluetooth speaker to improve communication? (The speaker could be anywhere outside the mask e.g. worn near the neck or chest...)
EDIT: someone privately mentioned that there are respirators with drinking tubes and voice emitters (those were terms I wasn't aware of!), and mentioned the MSA Millennium series. Thanks!
I since noticed that the 3M Ultimate FX and 3M Scott respirators have these features too. (For anyone who needed that information.)
