Helmets with
SideWindows Improve
Visibility, Safety and
Comfort
Speedglas
™
SideWindows
Helmets from 3M allow for
peripheral vision. The two
shade 5 side filters increase
the peripheral viewing area by over 100%.
SideWindows filters allow welders to see potentially-
hazardous peripheral objects, such as moving
equipment, vehicles, and other welders, with the helmet
down.
The two side filters are
designed solely for peripheral
vision; the welder continues
to view his own arc through
the center (auto-darkening)
filter.
Ideal for Weld Prep/Grinding
The Speedglas
™
FlexView System
from 3M has a big 4.7 in. x 3.6 in.
(120mm x 90mm) clear
polycarbonate faceshield that’s ideal
for precision weld preparation work
under a variety of lighting conditions.
The user simply lifts up the spring-
mounted Speedglas filter assembly for weld prep. The
faceshield meets the ANSI Z87.1-2003 industrial eye and face
protection standard.
A Balanced Hardhat for Welders
The Speedglas
™
ProTop System from
3M has an exclusive pivot mechanism
that “nests” the welding helmet down
low over the hardhat, in a balanced,
secure position. The lower center-of-
gravity helps reduce neck strain.
