So, between a recent run-in with forest fire smoke while touring in California, noticing before that, that I have developed a spitting habit only when cycling, and planning on doing the High Pass Challenge here in Washington, but now the entire state is covered in forest fire smoke, I'm actually considering trying a respirator.

Anyone using or have tried one? What can you pass on?

Some of you are probably familiar with the Respro's, as cool as they look, I'm concerned about actually being able to bring in enough air to cycle with one of those. A little poking around on the web led me to these two:


Totobobo: Totobobo advanced respiratory protection made easy.


ecbreathe: Home


Probably a long shot, but has anyone tried either of these?



Anyone else getting to the point that they are considering getting a respirator?




(90+% of my riding is commuting, if I get one, that's where it'll get used most, and I expect urban riders to be most interested in such a thing.)
