Agrofilter is an innovative breather for the protection against dust and gas. It is equipped with a turbine which breaths in the air through the filters and directs it towards the peak, avoiding the steam. Also, the continuous flow of air generates a positive pression which avoids any breathing effort, ensuring comfort and preventing the contaminated air intake. All in one helmet fitted with a sun shade peak that protects the lift-up visor from the sun. This also enables the helmet to be rested in a position because the peak also protects the visor if it is accidentally dropped. The air circulates in a chamber and flows over the visor to prevent it misting up.
