Genesis: "My eyes had caught the flashing light from dozens of tiny triangular faces of octahedral crystals… and I knew that diamonds had finally been made by man."
- Tracy Hall 1954

Tracy’s discovery at General Electric created a multi billion dollar market, and allowed him to start his own company producing HPHT equipment. Tracy’s son David pushed into new diamond applications and systems, amassing over 1000 patents. Today David’s son Michael continues the legacy of innovation to improve the human condition.

Discovery: 

Initial MicroClimate concepts were developed in 2018 for snow sports. Full face visors kept snow off the wearer's face. Blowers and heat exchangers were added to improve comfort and make them fog free and comfortable.

When the pandemic occured in 2020, filters were added to the design and MicroClimate launched Air1.

Customers loved the product, and the team quickly grew to 20 employees to keep up with demand.

From the beginning, MicroClimate's engineering team benchmarked workplace powered respirators. For Air2, many changed improved filtration performance to reach TH2 levels (European P95 level respirator). The 10,000 customers of Air1 and Air2 helped MicroClimate establish a solid manufacturing, supply chain, and quality system.

These learnings went into Air3, a product purpose built for the workplace. NIOSH granted approval for Air3 in early 2025 and sales began shortly thereafter.

MicroClimate's headquarters, development, and manufacturing is located in Provo, Utah, USA. The Manufacturing facility and processes are set up for growth (currently 2X per year). This structure helps us realize our mission to bring powered respirators to all.
