Features
Panoramic XXL Viewing Area
Offers up to 6x the field of view compared to standard welding lenses, improving peripheral visibility and spatial awareness while welding or grinding.
ShadeTronic® Auto-Shading
Automatically adjusts lens shade levels based on arc intensity and lighting conditions without manual adjustment.
FadeTronic® Technology
Controls the delay from dark-to-light state after welding to reduce eye fatigue and improve comfort during repeated weld cycles.
Slide-Up Grinding Mode
Internal slide-up lens allows quick transition between welding and grinding without removing the helmet.
5-Sensor Arc Detection
Five intelligent sensors improve arc detection in low-amp TIG and difficult lighting environments.
True Color View
Provides realistic color perception without the heavy green tint common in older welding helmets.
Removable ANSI Hard Hat
Includes removable ANSI Z89.1 Type 1 Class C hard hat for industrial and construction-site compliance.
Rechargeable Battery System
Solar-assisted lithium-polymer battery can be recharged via Micro USB.
IsoFit® Headgear
3D adjustable headgear system designed to distribute weight evenly and improve long-shift comfort.
Overhead Welding Design
Rounded front lens design improves ergonomics and protection for overhead welding applications.
