My name is Anders Mårtensson and I work for a wholesale dealer. I work in the cold store (-28°C), so I'm breathing cold air all day every day.. Before I started using Airtrim I used to always be feeling tired, stuffy and hoarse, like I had a cold the whole time. On weekends I would fall asleep on the couch, and my ears and sinuses were always blocked. My big hobby is diving, so I wasn't in an ideal state of health for that activity.

Getting on for a year ago (1996) I read about a mask with heat exchange filter, the Airtrim. I asked my boss if the company could get one to try out, and he agreed. Airtrim have three filters, and I use the finest one, the one for asthma sufferers. I haven't got asthma myself, but that filter is the one that warms the air the most.
After wearing the mask for two or three hours, you need to dry it out. It gets warm and damp. There's an icicle hanging off the mask a lot of the time. You have to blow through the mask every so often to clear the filter. After I'd been using Airtrim for just a couple of months I noticed a big difference. I had a lot more energy on weekends. Now after nearly a year I hardly notice the symptoms from my ears, sinuses and throat. My general health is far better and that feels very positive. Now towards the end of winter my workmates have started to realise what a help this mask can be to us, there's only a few of them that haven't got a mask yet, and they probably will pretty soon. I can definitely recommend it !
