can you breath without any difficulty?

Yes. I pull the garment over my chin but not over my mouth or nose. Combined with a wind-proof neck gator, the head gear keeps me warm when I ride in temperatures in the upper 20s (below that, I drive my car). It is important to leave no gap under the full-face helmet, so one's neck is totally covered. The windproof neck gator is key.

Dont go overboard but yes you can. If you can do it without is probably the best way.

Yes you can but you have to go SLOW and STEADY! Take your time and it should be fine.

No, you simply blow air into it....as much or little as you like. It is great! You will love it!

Just use your mouth...only takes a few breaths in each valve to be fully inflated.

Agree with Tepple. They are referring to the intake of contaminants, NOT the intake of air. You can still breathe easily through the filters, although as Tepple said, they do limit the intake of air a little bit, as any sort of filter would. But not enough to feel restrictive or problematic.

Yes, but it does require a little effort. Much like pumping a bicycle tire with a hand held. Recommend pushing out all the air my smooshing it so save time/energy.

My husband did it fairly quickly with ease. I would say not very hard at all.

No venting needed, if you room is very tight you might want to get a little fresh air.

I am able to blow into it by my mouth, but it is a some what of a challenge. The key is to close the cap before too much air escapes. Takes a little practice, but the results are beneficial.

It works as far as breathing goes. You won't struggle for air, but it isn't made to work like a genuine respirator.

I guess you can, but I wouldn't recommend it. It's probably as much air as you breathe in a whole day. Takes me 10 minutes with a pump.

yes you can. the problem is that without a vacuum no matter you do, you will not be able to get all the air out.

No, it's not hard at all. If I can do it, anyone can! I am not mechanical at all.

I'm not sure. I would assume that you could but why would you want to when the cloth or paper one's are much more comfortable. Plus the sweat may build up and get a little warm while you are exercising. PS. One person said that breathing was restricted but that would depend on what kind of filter you bought for it.I hope this helps.

I've never needed to do so, but my wife has done so without any difficulty. I hope this helps.

no, it is not difficult to breathe while wearing the brace. If you have it pulled real tight it might be uncomfortable when sitting but just relax it a little then. It is a very nice brace, I love mine.
