DIRECTIONAL AIRFLOW. BUILT TO LAST.
A compact PAPR air diffuser that attaches to your hood — built by one welder, refined by many, with better materials and adjustable airflow the available diffusers just don't have.
Root Pass
The Problem
Available diffusers weren't built for a full shift.
- One-size airflow — no way to adjust it to the job or the shift.
- Bulky housings that catch on tight pipe racks and confined vessels.
- Fogs your lens the second you stop moving.
- Heat builds up under the hood on a 12-hour shutdown.
- Cheap materials that don't hold up to a real job site.
"I wasn't trying to start a company. I was just tired of fighting my own gear on every job."
— Shane, Founder, BACKDRAFTHot Pass
The Fix
Directional airflow, built for the hood — not the spec sheet.
01
Directional Airflow
Position the airflow up or down, right where you need it — something your diffuser doesn't let you do.
02
Low-Profile Fit
Compact and close to the hood shell, built to clear pipe racks and confined-space work.
03
Built To Last
More durable than available diffusers — made to hold up to a real shift, not just a bench test.
Cap Pass
Origin
Designed after another 14-hour shutdown.
BACKDRAFT started with one welder's frustration with the only available PAPR diffuser on his own hood — no adjustability, cheap materials, built for a spec sheet instead of a real shift. Every design decision came from real experience on the job, not a boardroom. What you're looking at is Rev 1.0
— Built by one welder, refined by many.
