A device for filtering air for a user comprising a frame formed in a generally oval-shaped band, the band encircling the user’s head with an upper portion extending from the user’s ear to a point above and to the rear of the user’s head and a lower portion extending from the user’s ear to a point below and in front of the user’s mouth. The device includes an air inlet filter mounted on the frame and communicating on one side with ambient air outside the device and on the other side with an inlet duct and an air outlet filter mounted on the frame and communicating on one side with air inside the device and on the other side with ambient air outside the device. The device also includes a battery-powered air mover mounted on the frame and operable to move intake air through the air inlet filter through the inlet duct and into the inside of the device. A rechargeable battery is mounted on the frame to power the air mover. The device further includes a transparent face shield mounted on one side of the frame in such a way as to create an airtight seal between the visor and the one side of the frame, a fabric component made from an air impermeable fabric and mounted on an opposite side of the frame in such a way as to create an airtight seal between the fabric component and the opposite side of the frame, and to encircle the user’s neck, and a head harness configured to rest on the user’s head and support the frame with its components mounted thereon.
