Air3 brings comfort and innovative design to Personal Protective Equipment. The ellipsoid visor provides the largest field of vision in the industry, allowing face recognition technology to unlock phones. The blower is isolated on a silicone suspension, making the respirator quiet enough to work with ear bud based microphones. These features allow Air3 wearers to utilize modern smartphone and other technologies while wearing the respirator.
The innovative design packages electronics low in the front, resulting in excellent balance that doesn’t put extra strain on the neck when looking down.
Key features:
- PAPR-100 HE
- High-efficiency particulate filters
- Impact resistant visor, Z87+
- USB-c charging for 8 hr + battery life
- Adjustable ratcheting headgear
Filtration
Air features four pleated HEPA filters. These filters are HEPA 11, 95% of 0.3 micron particles are filtered. One filter is used for exhaust, while the other three are used for inlet. This helps keep the pressure and air velocity low, improving comfort inside the mask. The filters may easily be removed and replaced by the user. The pleated design allows over 200 square inches of filter area.
Neck Seal
MicroClimate Air has an innovative sealing method. This patent pending technology is robust and comfortable. It seals at the neck, like a shirt collar. The convex shape of the neck allows a flexible fabric to achieve an airtight seal. An elastic drawstring helps ensure the seal stays in place
Fabric and Accumulator
MicroClimate Air’s scarf not only seals, but also helps manage quick exhale events, like cough’s. The interior of the mask is kept at slightly negative pressure, -20 Pa. This causes the fabric to contract slightly. When a cough event occurs, the fabric is able to bulge out to normal size. This accumulator affect allows these sudden burst events to be fully contained. The fabric scarf may be removed for washing and air dried.
Batteries
Two Lithium Polymer batteries are located near the back of Air, helping balance the device. 28 Whr of capacity allow Air to run for more than 8 hours on a charge. Batteries comply with FAA 49 CFR 175.10 and have safety circuits onboard the cells to protect against over voltage, overcurrent, and keep the battery from being discharged too low. A USB-C port, for charging the batteries, is discreetly located next to the switch under the fabric on the right side.
Twin Fans
Exhaled breath from humans is hot and humid, 90 deg F and 85 % humidity. MicroClimate Air utilizes two fans to expel air at a rate of 120 lpm. This is well above resting respiration rates of 30 lpm, so the air temperature and humidity are nearly the same as the surroundings. This cooler dry air keeps the acrylic dome from fogging up.
High flow rates, if not managed correctly, lead to dry eyes and mouth. High velocities can also make allot of wind noise. MicroClimate Air utilize over 200 square inches of filter, keeping air velocity very slow. No breeze is felt, helping the device further disappear into the background.
Note: Maximum respiration while exercising is around 350 lpm, so MicroClimate Air is not properly equipped ventilate a person under these conditions.
Head Pads
MicroClimate Air does not touch the face. Its 1.75 lbs is supported by padding on top of the head. The seal touches the neck, like a shirt collar.
Acrylic Dome
The transparent Acrylic dome allows the wearer full peripheral vision. This helps the device quickly fade into the background after being put on.
Microfiber Cloth
Air comes with a Microfiber cloth for cleaning the dome.
Carrying Case
Air comes with a carrying case. The case has a separate pocket for the charging cord, microfiber cloth, etc.
FOUR HEPA 11 FILTERS
AIR features four pleated HEPA 11 filters. These filter 95% of 0.3 micron particles. One filter is used for exhaust, while the other three are used for inlet. This helps keep the pressure and air velocity low, improving comfort inside the mask. The filters may easily be removed and replaced by the user. The pleated design allows over 200 square inches of filter area.
TWO DUAL SPEED FANS
Exhaled breath from humans is hot and humid, 90 degrees F and 85% humidity. MicroClimate AIR utilizes two dual speed fans to expel air. On the high "ACTIVE" setting they will expel at a rate of 170 lpm and 110 lpm on low setting. Both are well above resting respiration rates of 30 lpm, so the air temperature and humidity are nearly the same as the surroundings. This cooler dry air keeps the acrylic dome from fogging up.

"Today is day 2 of using MicroClimate and I am delighted. I think it was a great idea for travel, but feel the founders may not have realized how great it is for everyday life during this pandemic. I love the fact that I can go grocery shopping and not have to worry about putting on a mask. I can breathe 100% easier with MicroClimate rather than a mask and people can actually see you smile at them in public. It's very light and comfortable and I have been urging all of my friends who complain about wearing masks, to take a look at MicroClimate. Amazing product!"

"When the pandemic started last year. I wanted a better mask than a simple N95 (if you could find one) or the disposable medical masks that are the norm. I wanted something that would protect people around me as well as protect myself from those unwilling to wear a mask. AIR is already the winner in my book."
