This place has it cheaper.

Does your current place of employment have an account with Grainger? I tried buying something there before, but you need to have a business account. They don't do individual sales.

Lol, it’s still above my price point.

Though this one may be mine soon.

Mainly the wide field of view is what I like Joe.

Is there a reason you need a helmet with a built in air purifying respirator? Just curious.

If you have to ask then you don't need to know!

I WANT the one with the air purifier, I can’t afford it anyhow. No reason other than why I wanted Farrah Fawcet when I was a boy, lust, lol.

Though if I was a welder by trade I definitely could see the reason for it. I’ve walked away with a pretty sore throat from the fumes after welding for several hours before. That purifier would be nice for that.

I’m getting the other cheaper one that’s $300. That one mainly because of the wide field of view.
