Optrel Swiss Air TH3 PAPR Backpack System with Half-Mask

Freedom to Breathe, Freedom to Weld

Experience the ultimate in welding comfort with the Optrel Swiss Air PAPR system. If you are tired of heavy, bulky PAPR helmets that strain your neck and limit your movement, the Swiss Air is the solution you have been waiting for. This ultra-lightweight backpack system weighs just over a pound and sits comfortably on your back, delivering a steady stream of fresh, cool air directly to your nose and mouth. Because the mask is separate from your hood, you can keep using your favorite welding helmet—or switch between a welding hood and a grinding shield—without ever breaking your respiratory seal. It is safety that adapts to you, not the other way around.

Say Goodbye to Fog and Fatigue

Welding in hot, fume-filled environments is exhausting, but the Swiss Air changes the game. The positive pressure system gently pushes air into the comfortable half-mask, creating a cooling effect that keeps you refreshed and prevents your safety glasses or welding lens from fogging up. The mask itself is made of soft, flame-retardant material that fits snugly without pinching, and because it doesn't require a tight negative-pressure seal, you don't have to worry about shaving every day to stay safe. With a battery that lasts up to 14 hours, you can power through your longest days without stopping to recharge.

Versatility for Every Job

Whether you are TIG welding in a shop, stick welding on a construction site, or grinding heavy metal, the Swiss Air has you covered. The ergonomic shoulder harness distributes the weight so well you will barely notice it's there. The chest-mounted control panel puts the power at your fingertips, letting you dial in the perfect amount of airflow. Plus, the system comes with a rugged storage backpack, making it easy to transport your gear to and from the job site. Protect your lungs from dangerous fumes and smoke while enjoying a level of freedom and comfort that traditional respirators simply can't match.
