Speedglas welding filter G5-01VC: variable dark shade 5, 8-13 and tack welding comfort mode. For most types of arc welding

Adjust your welding helmet, not yourself.
Imagine a better way for you to control how you see and feel when welding. Introducing the new 3M™ Speedglas™ Heavy-Duty Welding Helmet G5-01. Based on extensive input from welders doing heavy-duty, high-amperage welding and grinding, it’s a auto-darkening helmet designed to be as versatile as you are.

More versatile & comfortable than ever.
The new 3M Speedglas Heavy-Duty Welding Helmet G5-01 has more adjustable features than ever: from the colour as seen through the welding filter to the direction of the airflow and the level of coverage.

Natural Colour Technology
The new G5-01 auto-darkening welding filter feature the popular 3M Speedglas Natural Colour Technology for more realistic colour in the light state.

Adjustable air flow
With the helmet’s new duct system, users can direct the airflow to either their face or visor, as well as the amount of air coming from the top outlet vs. the two side outlets. With greater control over personalized settings, users can balance the airflow’s cooling effect while minimizing flows that might dry out their nose or eyes.

Comfortable and protective
Designed for heavy-duty, high amperage welding and grinding, the flip-up G5-01 welding helmet connects to the 3M™ Adflo™ Powered Air Respirator to provide class TH3 respiratory protection.

• Visibility of the welding spot thanks to 3M™ Speedglas™ Natural Colour in the light state.
• Hours of powerful lighting from the new helmet-mounted Task Light (optional)
• The highest respiratory safety classifications for powered air respirators (TH3) and supplied air regulators (B3).
• Protection against radiation, sparks and spatter with the new, high-coverage helmet design and six different coverage configurations using helmet accessories.
• No need to compromise on comfort! New helmet adjusts to get you closer to your weld, while you personalize your airflow patterns.
• New headband design – Improved, self-adjusting comfort paddles along your forehead. Also features a rotation stopper, designed to simplify donning of the helmet.
• Adjustment options – Control the distance and angle from your eyes to the clear visor and welding filter
• Extra-large back pad – Delivered with an optional, extra-large, back head pad for enhanced comfort

When tack welding – Human eyes aren’t designed for handling rapid transitions from dark to light to dark again – which describes tack welding perfectly! The G5-01TW welding filter uses an intermediate shade 5 light state to help minimize eye strain during extended tack welding applications. If an arc is not struck within 2 seconds the welding filter will switch back to its normal light state (shade 3).
