I'm not totally sure if I'm in the right subforum for this, but I didn't see anything PPE related elsewhere so figured since I'm using it for running a plasma I would put it here.
My current getup for running our plasma machine (water table, but we definitely need a fume extractor setup, which unfortunately isn't a priority) is to wear a regular respirator with a P100 filter, shade 5 glasses, and sometimes over ear hearing protection. The issue is that with the respirator the glasses don't sit comfortably, and the glasses don't fit comfortably under the hearing protection (I prefer over ear hearing protection because I can take it off to talk to people, as there is no way to hear someone speaking through a respirator with my ears plugged).
Google having failed me, does anyone know of any respirators that incorporate eye protection with a flip up shade 5 lens? I transition from cutting to grinding to programming so much that putting shade 5 inserts in a typical respirator would be worse than what I have now.
