These hoods are designed to be used with a PAPR system as specified so they have a connection in the back to do that. They are NOT designed to be used as a standalone face-covering because of the connection in the back.

Product Description
Lightweight, versatile and easy to maintain, 3M Versaflo S-Series Integrated Head Suspension Hoods help protect your workers from a variety of contaminants while maintaining comfort. Whether you want the convenience of fully assembled integrated hoods or the cost-savings of a reusable suspension, you have options designed to work for you.
3M Versaflo S-Series Hoods have been designed to provide users with the optimal level of comfort. Easily adjustable suspensions and soft comfort pads help provide excellent fit, stability and tracking. Comfort suspension hoods feature wide faceseals with soft elastic for improved comfort and reduced air flow noise. The premium reusable suspension allows wearers to modify the airflow distribution inside the hood to suit personal comfort needs. All of these improvements combine to help workers stay more comfortable throughout the day.
S-Series hoods direct a comfortable stream of air into the headgear. The moving airflow may make hot environments more tolerable while reducing visor fogging. When used with an approved 3M Supplied Air Regulator, the compressed air can be made cooler or warmer by up to 50°F (28°C) for additional comfort.
All S-Series compatible breathing tubes feature the innovative 3M Quick Release Swivel (QRS) connection. Simply push the QRS end of the breathing tube into the air inlet of the headgear until it snaps into place. The breathing tube can be quickly removed with only one hand by squeezing the breathing tube clips.
Choose the ready-to-use integrated suspension models for applications where assembly would be too time-consuming or impractical. Or select the premium reusable suspension hoods for quick, highly cost-effective replacement of outer fabrics.

Question & Answers
User Reviews
hot melt rubber (synthetic)
Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
natural rubber
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
acrylic
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
silicone
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
zinc oxide
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.
Thickness, AKA caliper or gauge, refers to the distance from one surface of a tape backing, or adhesive, to the other.
1 mil = 1/1000 of an inch
Examples: 1/16 inch = 62.5 mils; 1/32 inch = 31.25 mils
Lower gauge gloves are heavier - have thicker construction, fewer stiches knitted per inch and offer less dexterity.
Higher gauge gloves are lighter - have thinner/finer construction, more stitches knitted per inch and offer more dexterity.
Gloves offered typically runs from 7 to 18 (12 and 13 are in the middle of the scale).
