It's a 3M P100 filter with a 6000 series face piece. Reason I recommend this one specifically if I've used it for 6 hours relatively straight welding, and besides the retarded amount of sweat filling it up it was still comfortable. P100 Cartridge Face piece Oddly Amazon doesn't have them in anything but small, but the local welding emporium will likely carry them in small, medium, and large. The charcoal filter isn't really necessary, but considering it acts as a P100 filter and an N95. There's also a organic vapor version which is good if you plan on working with nasty paints and what not. There's also the particulate filter, which will work for really crazy things like oil vapors and other nasties.
