It's about time someone developed a filter that hooks into our masks... Watch the news video under the shows and news tab...absolutely awesome. I will definitely be buying one of these, maybe we can get a group discount if anyone else is interested. www.lastchancefilter.com/index.php |

Interesting idea, Especially as a last resort situation. I'd hate to have to rely on it though. There is too many bad$hit in smoke that I can't imagine any filter can catch it all. What if there is a gas it doesn't catch? What if all the particulate clogs the filter? I wouldn't trust anything that relies on ambient air. We're better off focusing on good air management.

One of the drawbacks if I remember correctly is that you still need an oxygen level to support life...it filters a lot of the bad stuff but can't create the necessary O2.
That being said, it'still better than cashing in your chips without giving it the old college try...whatever it takes.

like I said, watch the video, they used them in live fire conditions without killing anyone...

Do not forget about the temp of the air you are breathing in!
