Optrel Helix Pure Air Quattro Hard Hat

The Optrel Helix Pure Air Quattro Hard Hat is a premium PAPR-ready welding and grinding helmet designed for industrial fabrication, structural steel, pipe welding, manufacturing, and heavy-duty shop environments.

It combines Optrel’s panoramic auto-darkening lens system with a removable ANSI-certified hard hat and compatibility with the e3000x powered air respirator system.

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.

Is the hard hat removable?

Yes. The included ANSI-rated hard hat can be removed depending on jobsite requirements.

Can it be used for grinding?

Yes. The slide-up grinding mode allows fast switching between welding and grinding tasks.

How does the visibility compare to standard helmets?

The panoramic lens system provides substantially wider visibility than traditional welding helmets, improving awareness and comfort.

What is the optical clarity rating?

The Quattro carries a top-tier EN379 optical rating of 1/1/1/1.

Is the battery replaceable?

The helmet uses a rechargeable lithium-polymer battery designed for extended charging cycles.

What industries is this helmet best suited for?

It is commonly used in fabrication shops, shipyards, pipeline work, industrial maintenance, structural steel, and manufacturing environments.
