    Polycarbonate Helmet

    Nylon Helmet

    Protect your eyes the moment you start welding—four sensors detect the light and automatically darken the lens. Unlike traditional green welding lenses, these helmets use a true color lens to enhance clarity and color accuracy. They allow for a better look at your weld pool to increase weld quality and reduce eye strain. To customize the helmet’s fit so you can focus on welding, these helmets have a ratchet adjustment with an easy-turn knob. Solar cells recharge the helmet’s battery while you work.
    Nylon Helmet—Nylon helmets offer a wider range of shade numbers and better optical clarity than polycarbonate helmets. They use digital controls to adjust settings such as shade number, light sensitivity, and mode selection.
    Welding Lens Optical Clarity—Optical clarity measures how clearly a welder can see through the lens based on four categories: visual accuracy, light diffusion, consistency, and distortion. Each category is given a rating on a scale of 1 to 3. The lower the number, the better the clarity. Better optical clarity allows for precise welds, reduces eye strain, and improves focus.

    Take full control of your shade level with these helmets—you can set the lens to adjust in half-shade increments. They have digital controls behind the lens where you can set the shade number, delay time, and sensitivity. Save up to nine settings to quickly switch between tasks. To switch to grind mode without removing your helmet, press the button above the lens.
    As you weld, four sensors detect the light and automatically darken the lens. To improve weld quality and reduce eye strain, these helmets have a wide panoramic view and a true color lens. The lens enhances clarity and color accuracy to reduce the color distortion of your view.
    Solar cells recharge the helmet’s battery while you work.

Each category is given a rating on a scale of 1 to 3. The lower the number, the better the clarity. Better optical clarity allows for precise welds, reduces eye strain, and improves focus.

    Brow Pads

    Get a broader look at your weld—these helmets fit close to your face for a view six times wider than standard welding helmets. Designed with a smaller lens than other wide-view helmets, they’re lighter in weight and require less battery to darken. When you start to weld, five sensors detect the light and automatically darken the lens. Unlike traditional green welding lenses, these helmets use a true color lens to enhance clarity and color accuracy. They give you a better look at the weld pool to increase weld quality and reduce eye strain.
    Built-in solar cells charge the helmet’s battery during use. You can also plug in the battery to charge it while you’re not working.
    Internal Slide-Up Lens—Helmets with an internal slide-up lens give you a clear view for grinding and other tasks that require impact protection without a dark welding lens. Turn the external knob to slide the lens up without removing your head protection. These helmets also have a removable hard hat for additional head protection when needed.
    Welding Lens Optical Clarity—Optical clarity measures how clearly a welder can see through the lens based on four categories: visual accuracy, light diffusion, consistency, and distortion. Each category is given a rating on a scale of 1 to 3. The lower the number, the better the clarity. Better optical clarity allows for precise welds, reduces eye strain, and improves focus.

    Internal Slide-Up Lens

    Nylon Helmet

    Filter out harmful air while you weld. These helmets have a built-in connection for the included powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR). The respirator supplies continuous filtered air to reduce breathing effort and minimize heat buildup inside these helmets. It also filters out at least 99.5% of harmful particles like smoke, aerosols, and dust. For comfortable all-day wear, they are lightweight and connect to a belt on your back for unrestricted movement. A rechargeable battery powers the respirator for up to 18 hours.
    When you start to weld, five sensors detect the light and automatically darken the lens. Unlike traditional green welding lenses, these helmets use a true color lens to enhance clarity and color accuracy. They allow for a better look at your weld pool to increase weld quality and reduce eye strain. A nose cutout lets these helmets sit closer to your face for a six-times larger viewing area than standard helmets for higher quality welds. Without the need for a larger lens to enhance peripheral vision, these helmets are lighter and have longer battery life. Solar cells recharge the helmet’s battery while you work.
    Internal Slide-Up Lens—Helmets with an internal slide-up lens offer a clear view for grinding and other tasks that require impact protection without a shaded view. Turn the external knob to slide the lens up without removing your head protection. These helmets also have a removable hard hat for additional head protection when needed.

    Lenses

    No need for goggles or glasses under these helmets. They have two lenses to protect your eyes against welding laser light. A nose cutout lets these helmets sit closer to your face for a six-times larger viewing area than standard helmets for higher quality welds. Without the need for a larger lens to enhance peripheral vision, these helmets are lighter and have longer battery life. Unlike traditional green welding lenses, these helmets use a true color lens to enhance clarity and color accuracy. They give you a better look at your weld pool to increase weld quality and reduce eye strain.
    Auto Darkening—Helmets with an auto-darkening lens let you switch between regular and laser welding without changing your head protection. When you start to weld, five sensors detect the light’s intensity and automatically darken the lens. Built-in solar cells charge the helmet’s battery during use. You can also plug in the battery to charge it while you’re not working.
    Welding Lens Optical Clarity—Optical clarity measures how clearly a welder can see through the lens based on four categories: visual accuracy, light diffusion, consistency, and distortion. Each category is given a rating on a scale of 1 to 3. The lower the number, the better the clarity. Better optical clarity allows for precise welds, reduces eye strain, and improves focus.
