Face-fit reassurance
20 January 2014
JSP's novel way making sure a protective face mask fits properly – the PressToCheck P3 filter – can be used with its lightweight, yet robust Force 8 half mask, boosting the mask's effectiveness.

The user follows three simple steps: Put on the mask and pull the straps so that the mask is secure and comfortable; press the fronts and backs of both filter covers together to expel air from the filters; inhale. No air should come through the mask. If it does, adjust the mask and repeat, releasing when a firm seal is made.
The PressToCheck filter can be quickly and securely attached to the Force 8, which, with its fully adjustable and ergonomic design, face-fits a wide range of head profiles. PressToCheck has extremely low breathing resistance, and allows air to flow across the full filter, thus resisting clogging in very fine dust environments.
