Welding Helmets

Providing greater safety while welding than face shields, these helmets have an outer filter lens cover for protection from scratches and weld spatter. All helmets have a ratchet adjustment with an easy-turn knob.

Helmets with a flip-up lens let you expose a viewing lens.

Nylon helmets are lighter weight than fiberglass helmets.

Fiberglass helmets provide superior heat resistance.

Leather helmets are flexible, so they’re easy to maneuver in tight spots.

Style B and C helmets have an extended forehead that offers more overhead protection.

Arc-Flash-Protection Equipment Kits

For protection from low-level arc flash hazards, these kits include several of the necessary safety items in a storage bag. All contents meet NFPA 70E standards for protection against electrical arc flashes for personal protection equipment (PPE) category 2. Check the PPE category and minimum arc rating provided for your workplace, and then select all required clothing and personal protective equipment to meet the minimum arc rating. Arc rating measures a garment’s ability to insulate the wearer from burns; the higher the arc rating, the greater the flame resistance. All hard hats have a ratchet adjustment with an easy-turn knob.

Style A kits come with a hard hat, face shield, hood, safety glasses, and storage bag.

Style B kits come with coveralls, hard hat, face shield, hood, safety glasses, and two storage bags.When measuring chest size, measure around the fullest part of your chest. Take all measurements over any clothing you expect to wear under the coveralls.

Aluminized Hoods for Heat Protection

Protect your head and neck from extreme heat. To fit your head, these hoods use an adjustable ratchet suspension. There's enough room inside to wear glasses, goggles, or a respirator.

Rayon provides good radiant-heat protection as well as moderate spark protection and protection against molten metal splashes.

Kevlar/Nomex aramid blend combines good heat resistance with excellent abrasion and cut resistance, in addition to offering protection against molten metal splashes.

PBI/Kevlar aramid blend is a strong, lighter weight fabric that offers good heat resistance without the bulk of other Kevlar blends.

Carbon/Kevlar aramid blend is a heavyweight fabric that lasts longer than other Kevlar blends. It combines good heat resistance with excellent abrasion and cut resistance. It provides protection against molten metal splashes.
