I am seriously considering getting one. The exhalation valves ease breathing somewhat. In terms of heat and comfort, I'd have to try it out. On the other hand, once you get particulate matter in da lungs, it's there for life. I just don't relish sucking diesel exhaust with a high humidex when climbing -- which seems to be happening a fair bit.
And if I get the nightsight mask, using some judicious electrical tape may give it a great Skeletor tm look.
I was actually looking at that site this morning as well.
Urbane carries the Techno model it seems.
Respro also sells the reflective sticker kits as well..
I'm going to check out Urbane and see if they have more than what was on the site.
80 bones but if it keeps a summers worth of smog trapped sulfuric acid particles out of my lungs I think I'll win. I hope to be able to try one at the store to gleen an idea as to how it will be trying to hoover air during my adventures in traffic. I don't think any of us are of the non-elevated heart rate type riders and it would deal breaker if I can't suck air.
