The Respro Techno mask is a active styled face mask featuring both a Dynamic ACC (Activated Charcoal Cloth)
filter and HEPA filtration. These filters work
together to remove the most pollutants from the air you breathe. This filter combination also provides increased ability to cover a broader
spectrum of dusts and odors than the Aero Mask or many other particle filter masks on the market.
Two Techno valves are designed specifically to improve airflow
when you exhale, for low breathing resistance. This also helps to reduce heat around your face and allows the moisture you exhale
to escape. Other features
include Velcro fastening for a perfect fit, and neoprene construction
for easy-care durability. The Techno mask is a premium HEPA style mask with first class filtration and great
features. Whether walking, jogging, bicycling, or motorcycling, the Techno offers superior particle filtration in a comfortable and
durable face mask. This mask
comes in two sizes: Medium and Large.
The Techno mask filters out hydrocarbons including benzene and pyrene,
nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxides, lead oxide, and black smoke.
Additionally, it filters out particulates in the air including pollen dust,
irritant dusts, and clay dust. This mask is suitable for use in urban, rural, and work
environments. If used in an outdoor environment one hour per day, the filter has been mathematically modeled and
calculated to last approximately 30 days.

Respro Techno Mask Replacement Filters
Replacement filters for Techno Large or Techno Medium sizes can be purchased in twin packs. For extended storage periods, the filter should be removed from the shell,
dropped in a pan of freshly boiled water, removed, and allowed to dry before storing. All used filters should be discarded with
care and attention.

My husband was able to use this mask and breath without discomfort, unlike the cheaper versions of the same mask. Well worth the money.
It does have a tendency to slide down on the nose a little, but it still works well, even then and the nose piece can be adjusted to help prevent that. I think it is in part to the width of the bridge of one's nose.
Texas Cedar Fever
Reviewed by: Cedar Trees :- from Austin, TX
This mask works for me at times but some of the cedar pollen still got thru. The 2010-2011 season has been the worst ever in the Austin area. Locals who say they were never affected now feel the effects, this may be why some got thru the filters.

For many years I have used a rather uncomfortable mask to help eliminate the noxious odors from the pens that I use to ink the Golf Tournament Scoreboards. They don't seem to work as I had hoped. So, I was a bit reluctant to plop down $60.00 for another mask that may or may not work.
I am glad I did. It worked perfectly and I feel great...not breathing all those nasty smells.
Comfortable..yet a bit small for me.. I have a huge head..so, most people should not have a problem.
I am waiting on cedar season here in Austin to give it a try...I'll keep you posted.
Customer Q & A
Q1: What is the best mask to filter south Texas cedar/juniper. I bought your silk mask and seems to work sometimes?
A: Most tree pollen granules range in size from roughly 15 microns to over 30 microns. With that being said, yes, the silk comfort mask will keep much of it out of the air you breathe but the silk mask is not NIOSH rated. All of the Respro brand masks Techno, Aero and Sportsta have a European equivalent rating of N95 95% filtration of particles 0.3 microns or larger. They do seal better and will filter all tree pollens more effectively. The filters can be replaced while the maks itself can be hand washed. A less expensive alternative are some of the soft respirators by 3M. The 8233 and 8293 seal well and are N100 rated which means they offer true HEPA grade personal filtration filtering 99.97% of particles 0.3 microns or larger. These masks are disposable after about 150 hours of use. It'll depend on the severity of your sensitivity to juniper pollens and what you want to spend, but those are a few good options.
Q2: Hi There!
I have combination needs in an air-mask.
1 I am airbrush body makeup artist, I use mostly water soluble products however they still generate small atomized particulate.
2 I recently lived and had to move out of a residence that had confirmed elevated levels of toxic mold. Since that time I have had increased lung and sinus sensitivity. I suspect I have developed MCS or extreme sensitivities to mold.
Can you recommend a respirator that could help me with both matters?
Kind Regards
Jessica
A: A good, inexpensive solution to this would be either the 3M 8233 or 8293. Both offer the same, HEPA grade filtration. So the paint isn't oil based? If that's the case you can use the 8233 mask with no problems. The 8293 is the same except it also will trap oil based particles. The 8233 will not. Both seal well around the face and are soft styel respirators/masks. They don't look as cool as the Respro masks, but they're better suited for what you need.
Q3: Hello, i am looking for a small and easy mask to wear for my family and myself, just in case of an emergency that caused too much smoke, such as from a fire. I was wondering if the Respo Techno Mask would work against this sort of situation.
A: The Respro Techno will offer some smoke filtration since it has some carbon in the filter. The Respro Aero with a chemical/particle filter will also offer you some filtration as the that filter is similar in composition to that of the Techno. The only other mask that will help reduce smoke would be the Honeycomb Carbon mask. With either of these three masks, if you are wanting it for emergency purposes, I recommend you either keep the filters in their sealed packaging or once you install them in the mask, keep the entire mask in a sealed ziploc or other plastic bag. Activated carbon works non stop, even when air is not moving through it, it will adsorb odors and chemicals. By keeping them unopened or at least tightly sealed you'll help ensure they'll be ready to go when you need them to be.

Respro Techno Mask
The Respro Techno Mask is perfect for almost any type of mask application. The mask is comfortable and makes doing outdoor activities much
more endurable and enjoyable for allergy and/or asthma sufferers. This mask is recommended for people with hay fever, MCS, and rhinitis. It works well
in your work and outdoor environments, and can be useful at work, around the house or while enjoying most outdoor activities.
The Respro Techno mask is ideal primarily due to the level of filtration these masks offer. Being able to filter out pollutants commonly found
in both urban and rural areas without the bulk of a traditional respirator is a serious advantage for the Respro Techno mask over other face masks
available today.
What I like about the Respro Techno Mask
Neoprene construction for durability
Great protection from pollutants in an urban environment
HEPA like filtration
Activated Charcoal Cloth filter
Choice of two different sizes
Washable
What I do not like about the Respro Techno Mask
This mask is bulkier than the Aero, but the air filtration is better
In summary, I give the Respro Techno Mask 5 out of 5 stars. The great thing about this mask is that it is one of the few masks that gives you
a combination of HEPA and charcoal filtration, all in a streamlined, adjustable mask. It does not have a slim design of the Aero Mask, but
the Velcro strap fits well and you receive world class air filtration.
