About Selecting Welding Shades

Face Shield

Face Shield with Chin Guard

Face Shield with Flip-Up Welding Lens

For full-face protection while welding, select one of these shields. They meet ANSI/ISEA Z87.1+ high-impact standards when worn with safety glasses or goggles. All have a ratchet adjustment with an easy-turn knob.

Flip-up lenses have a welding shade that raises to expose a viewing lens. These shields are good for cutting and brazing jobs.

Face shields with chin guard provide added protection.

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.

Welding Face Masks

Nomex Aramid

PBI

These face masks are double-layered to protect your head from radiant heat, flames, and welding sparks. They are designed to meet NFPA 1971 standards for structural firefighting.

Nomex aramid is heavier than PBI, yet breathable and moisture wicking.

PBI is lightweight and provides better wear- and heat-resistance than Nomex.
