Features
Panoramic XXL Field of View
Provides up to 6.3 times larger viewing area compared to standard 100 x 50 mm welding helmets for improved visibility and precision.
Ultra-Bright Shade 2.5 Light State
Delivers an exceptionally bright light state for improved visibility before welding, during setup, and while grinding.
Integrated PAPR Compatibility
Designed for use with the Optrel e3000/X powered air-purifying respirator system for advanced respiratory protection and airflow comfort.
ShadeTronic® Auto-Shading
Automatically adjusts the shade level based on welding arc brightness and working conditions for uninterrupted welding performance.
FadeTronic® Technology
Smooth dark-to-light transition reduces eye fatigue during repetitive welding applications.
5-Point Sensor Detection
Five integrated sensors provide reliable arc detection even during low-amp TIG welding and difficult positioning.
True Color Visibility
Provides realistic color recognition and improved weld puddle visibility without excessive green tint distortion.
Grinding Mode
External grinding mode switch allows fast transitions between welding and grinding applications.
IsoFit® Headgear
Advanced 3D adjustable headgear system distributes weight evenly for improved comfort during long welding shifts.
Rechargeable Battery System
Rechargeable lithium-polymer battery charges through welding light, ambient light, or Micro USB charging.
No-Fog Nose Cut-Out Design
Patented nose cut-out helps separate the breathing zone from the lens area to reduce fogging.
Lightweight PAPR Construction
Despite integrated respiratory compatibility, the helmet maintains lightweight comfort for extended use.
High Impact Protection
Designed to withstand demanding industrial environments and impact from high-speed particles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Panoramaxx 2.5 PAPR different from standard welding helmets?
The Panoramaxx 2.5 PAPR combines panoramic XXL visibility with powered respiratory protection compatibility for improved visibility and cleaner breathing air during welding.
Is this helmet suitable for TIG welding?
Yes. The 5-sensor detection system performs well in low-amperage TIG welding applications.
Does the helmet automatically adjust shade levels?
Yes. ShadeTronic® technology continuously adjusts the shade level based on welding arc brightness.
Can this helmet be used for grinding?
Yes. The external grinding mode allows quick switching between welding and grinding applications.
Is the battery rechargeable?
Yes. The lithium-polymer battery can recharge through welding light, ambient light, or Micro USB charging.
Does the helmet help reduce fogging?
Yes. The patented nose cut-out design helps minimize fogging by separating breathing airflow from the lens.
Is this helmet comfortable for long shifts?
Yes. The lightweight shell combined with the IsoFit® headgear system improves comfort and reduces neck strain during extended welding sessions.
What respiratory system does this helmet use?
The helmet is designed for use with the Optrel e3000/X powered air-purifying respirator system.
