The Respro masks protect commuters by filtering out Hydrocarbons including Benzene and Pyrene, Nitrogen Oxides, Sulphur Dioxide, Lead Oxide and Black Smoke, Sub-Micron particulates, pollen dust and building dust.
Motorcycle and Scooter commuters can experience short periods of high exposure to exhaust emissions and are therefore potentially at greater risk of health problems from traffic pollution. A recent scientific study revealed evidence to suggest that particulate emissions from fossil-fuel powered vehicles and traffic are more toxic than a general mixture of pollutants. The Environmental Protection UK reports that the nature of air pollution has changed over the past 40 years with emissions of Coal smoke and Sulphur Dioxide associated with ‘London Smog’ of the past declining and the proportion of pollution from vehicles increasing.
Respro masks all have a contoured design ensuring the mask seals comfortably around the nose and are manufactured from durable, washable, hypo–allergenic neoprene. All come in two sizes, medium and large and are adjustable to fit comfortably to the face using a velcro fastening at the rear of the mask.

Foggy Breathguard
Visor fogging is a major problem for all bikers and pillion riders, and Respro has come up with a uniquely practical concept thats 99.9% effective and is superb value for money.
The Foggy mask, as worn by Superbike legend Shane Byrne, is guaranteed to keep the visor from fogging. The Foggy Breathguard mask works with full face crash helmets, is easily fitted and once in place, doesn’t have to be removed except for the occasional machine wash. It requires no maintenance - it simply fits enabling the rider to forget about it.
The Foggy Breathguard is the perfect accessory for anyone using a closed face helmet while motorbiking, scootering, snowmobiling, karting or car racing.
Features:
- Made from soft comfortable neoprene
- Self sealing nose clip
- One size fits all
- Available in 9 colours
RRP from £15.99.
Respro masks are available from Infinity, Metropolis, Hein Gericke and all other dealers or online.
We tested the City and Foggy masks, they both performed brilliantly and are an excellent addition to any motorcycle helmet. The foggy mask fixes permanently (but can still be moved if necessary) and the City mask is a good alternative for those who don wish to fit a mask permanently inside their helmet. Both are very affordable and it also adds a stylish element to your helmet. If its good enough for British Superbike riders then its good enough for us!
