    Is it an elaborate early April Fool’s joke?

      This was my first and only thought

      I just can’t believe this is real, not so close to April 1st

    I’ll believe this is real when there are artificial gills like the ones the jedi use to breath underwater. Otherwise it’s probably just a filter, same as the face masks.

    Looks cool but not as cool as breathable air

      I live in the London area. Driving out to the mountains and just breathing fresh air is one of my favourite things.

        This, you dont know how much you miss good air untill you get it again.

        I think this product is pretty legit, I was actually gathering concept images and starting to think about something like this a few years ago. I’ve moved to a rural wilderness since then and mothballed the idea.

      I think that will be there next upgrade. In ear headphones/hoovers with built in jet packs.

    I would find it more useful to incorporate beer can holders

    I’ll buy them when they do them right, with a hermetically closed helmet and a mouth opening for an HEPA filter. But it has to look like this

    Just joking

    I feel like the only place most people would feel comfortable wearing a product that looks like this would be home, but then since they’re home… they probably wouldn’t care to wear a mask or facial air purifier like this.

    Beyond that, the filtration isn’t NIOSH-approved so it just seems like the security theater equivalent of PPE?

      And it would be pointless for anyone with a beard.

        Yup. It blows my mind how beards haven’t been a major point of discussion in the last 2 years in terms of mask efficacy being reduced considerably when one has a beard.

    Reminds me when sound cards had integrated firewire ports and game ports and stuff, just random unrelated things bundled in them.

      fast forward 10 year and we are all wearing one while we hover down the street on Back to the future style hover boards, not those shitty ones with wheels.
