    I have given the MSA a real chance and I’m very disappointed. The low pressure hose is too stiff, the facepiece/regulator area freezes up in cold weather, it’s too heavy, and was a poor choice. Everyone is complaining about sore necks after an incident, and there is a very negative feeling about these masks. Nobody on BFD will complain to the administration staff because they try to single you out to make an example of you if you do. They only want to hear that their ideas are good instead of evaluating real feedback. This was not well thought out and once again it was a plan developed by people who won’t have to wear the masks and be impacted by them. The only upside is a wider shoulder strap but that is negated by the additional weight.  I guess the MSA is here to stay but they are a subpar product.
