Our shop bought us all a new speedglas 9100fx about a year and a half ago and I love it. I wish I could control the air flow however, because its super cold in the winter. Do any of you guys that use these do anything in the winter to keep warm? I tried a bandana last year but it condensates and gets even colder. Thanks.

They make a heater unit that clips inline with your air supply that works good. It clips to your belt and I think it has some sort of a turbine inside it that generates the heat. It has a selector lever that allows you to find the right temp.
I have more questions than answers

I like the idea of this product but I don't see how it hooks up to the air pack. Maybe because its a smaller picture but I don't see where the air hose would attach. The Speedglas hose doesn't thread up to the air pack. It's just a push button kind of thing.

There is probably one offered by speedglass to match what you have. That was just the first one I found on google search.

Speedglas have a heater IF you run off a purified air line, like a painter. If you are running an adflo, I think you are all out of luck

Outta luck then. That stinks. Guess I'll try a fleece face mask or something like that.
