    Can anyone recommend an easy to use one that I could order on line? They do look kinda complicated and I've never used one. Preferably one whose parts are easily replaced too. Of course cheaper is better but first I want a good one. Most seem sold out at the moment. Anyway any any help appreciated.
    Kind regards

    Try this https://www.arcosafety.ie/products/166900?s=1

    I have two of these and they are very simple to use and comfortable for extended periods.

    If ordering from them, it's better to phone your first order in.

    Thanks Monkeynuz, contacted them and unfortunately they are out of stock and they have no idea when they will return ��. Anything mask related will unfortunately be hard to come by for the foreseeable it seems. Don't want to be using chemicals without protection though ��...

    I have a Scott Promask which works great, though so far I've only used the basic particulate filters.

    The advantage of a full face is obviously that you don't have to worry about droplets getting in your eyes.

    I got my from Protec in the UK who now seem to be out of stock of everything. I think I also saw them for sale on Screwfix.

    This crowd seem to have stock:

    Initially this was out of stock but it seems to be available now.

    But if I buy it is everything that I need in the package? It mentions needing a canister, is this included does anyone know? And if so should I buy a spare?

    I'm a Novice so help appreciated.

    You need a filter. The type depends on what you're using it for. See page 5 of this PDF

    https://www.protecdirect.co.uk/medias/sys_master/root/h46/hfa/8811077369886/pro2000.pdf

    I used mine for the first big DIY job yesterday. Loads of circular sawing.

    It was a revelation. Usually I'm juggling safety glasses, mask, ear muffs, and as soon as I stop sawing I want to take some of it off and it all gets tangled up. But the ProMask is so breathable that I just left it on as I moved from task to task, and then popped the ear muffs on and off without getting caught in elastic or whatever.

    A bit sweaty when it comes off though!

    The only concern I have is whether the visor is going to accumulate loads of scratches and render the thing useless.

    This is a sister site of thegardenshop.ie. I've bought from both, I have a few of their kn95 mask. In stock.

    Actually I see they have it on: https://www.thegardenshop.ie/face-mask/ but this website is only taking orders intermittently due to high demand so you might be better getting it from the first link.
