So looking for a good respirator that can fit under an average welding hood. I do end up asking on galvanized stuff ( mainly tack welding stuff like cattle pannel ) but mainly what I want is somthing that will help with general welding fumes from getting in my lungs or at least mitigate what does. So any suggestions?

I know when I bought my Lincoln helmet two years ago the guy at Huber’s said Lincoln had a really good unit I didn’t buy one because I don’t really need one but should probably have one.

Maybe a positive pressure helmet might work. Sure you can get them in auto darkening for welding. We use them at work for dust. They are the ticket if you have to wear for periods at a time.

I have a Miller LPR-100 half mask respirator that works good. Its the best option I've found without stepping up to a PAPR. I also try to run a fan blowing at my back when welding anything like galvy.

I have a 3m half mask that takes the pink pancake filters. I'll try to get the part numbers this afternoon. It has worked for me when I was exposed to galvanized fumes, smoke from welding, grinding rust, things like that. Proper fitment is important. You'llhave to try and figure out what size you'll need or get a fit test.
Also to note, I use a fiber metal pipeliner hood. It's pretty narrow and I've had no issues with clearance.

I use a 3M, but don't use the pink dust filters, use the 2297 filters, they are for welding. You should be wearing it anytime time you're welding, or grinding, not just galvanized. Once those metal oxides cross the blood brain barrier they are there for good.

if you or the company can afford it the positive pressure is the way to go the air circulating in the mug is a bonus in humid conditions I don't believe that pretty yellow and green smoke getting in your eyes does any good either fans set up helps and the throw away masks with a exhaust valve are good for grinding
