The Mask Gets Comfy
A good comfortable and fitted mask is quite essential when you are in your workshop modeling your ID prototypes. Revolutionizing this theory is the Respirator Mask Design by Elijah Stillson. The design takes into account the contouring of the human head and is inspired by natural forms like fish gills. By moving the filters out of the user’s field of vision, the design improves safety while working and re-balances the weights. Since the filter cartridge is integrated into the mask, it closes when the respirator is not being worn and extents the filter’s life.

Very nice. Practical, stylish. Curious how it wears over time. Things that are supported by the back of your neck get uncomfortable quickly. A vertical and horizontal flexible strap would possibly be more effective, but Id hate to see the line of that face plate marred by anything. Whatever the case, good work

What happens if it rains? or high winds?
Henrique Staino says
Rain is a natural phenomenon wich consists in water falling from the clouds above. So, if it rains, water drops fall from the sky.
I didn’t your second sentence, sorry.

it’s a workshop mask. what happens if it rains while you are outside sanding mdf with your electric bench sander and cutting foam on your outdoor home made hot wire cutter? pfht

Even as an indoor workshop mask the large opening at the top edge would make it quite easy for dust to come into the eye area.

I can see some range of motion issues right off the bat. Unless the filters are very thin, turn your head down and to the left or right will cause them to interfere with your shoulders. This should only be an issue for rescue workers however, for shop purposes range of motion is secondary to comfort.

Is it only me or is that filter actually open? It looks like I can see through it. Maybe this is just a prototype? I wonder how high it is graded and what it protects against? It certainly is the coolest mask I’ve seen so far. Where can I get my hands on one?

So… everyone on Gizmodo, including the editors thought this was a gas mask to be worn in the event of a biological attack.
I think this tells you exactly what you should do: Make it seal, and sell 10 million of them to the US military. A workshop mask is nice but there are only so many workshops. Gas masks were all designed in 1951 so an update is more than necessary…
