Well, once again, for what it's worth the Hall's facility is located on marathon but I don't know how this relates to the rest of the keys. I guess there has to be a first time for everything. Thanks for the input. I'll keep you posted if you're interested.

Actually it works well for what it does but the drawback, as you mentioned, is that it doesn't benefit the face or other exposed areas. Unfortunately the only solution to this problem is the cover those areas, which implies a full face mask unit. I've use a couple of different varieties of these in conjunction with haz/mat and public safety work but don't really care for them. I guess I'll just deal with the cold on my face. Be wet and well.

Steve, Did you by chance have the opportunity to make it by the NASDS booth and meet Doug McNeese or Randy Wright? Those are the two guys I work for here in Memphis on the weekends.
