Shade 2.5 light state delivers 400% brighter visibility between welds, improving joint alignment before striking the arc.
0.100 ms switching speed darkens instantly, preventing flash exposure during sudden arc starts.
482 g helmet weight reduces neck strain during long welding shifts and overhead weld work.
True-color lens technology shows the weld puddle without green tint, improving bead control and penetration tracking.
TH3-rated PAPR compatibility filters welding fumes and particulates, protecting lungs during heavy fabrication work.

Optrel Vegaview 2.5 PAPR Auto Darkening Welding Helmet
Product # 4442.801
The Optrel Vegaview 2.5 PAPR welding helmet is an auto darkening helmet designed for welding environments where respiratory protection may be required. The lens provides a light state of shade 2.5 and darkens automatically to adjustable shade levels from 8 to 12 when an arc is detected.
This helmet is designed to be used with the Optrel e3000x PAPR blower system. When paired with the respiratory unit and TH3 particle filter, the system can help reduce exposure to welding smoke, aerosols, and dust in fabrication and industrial environments.
The helmet shell and headgear are designed to distribute weight across the head and neck during long welding sessions. External controls allow the welder to adjust shade settings and activate grinding mode without removing the helmet.
Does Not Include: e3000x PAPR blower system, respiratory hose, belt unit, replacement filters
Auto darkening welding helmet designed for welders who may use powered air respiratory protection during welding and fabrication work.
The Optrel Vegaview 2.5 PAPR helmet is an auto darkening welding helmet intended for fabrication, repair, and production welding. The lens provides a light state of shade 2.5 and automatically darkens to adjustable shade levels between 8 and 12 when welding begins.
Three arc sensors detect the welding arc and trigger the lens to darken. External controls allow adjustment of shade level, sensitivity, and grinding mode without removing the helmet.
The helmet is compatible with the Optrel e3000x powered air respirator system. When combined with the blower unit and TH3 filter, the system can provide filtered airflow to reduce exposure to welding fumes in enclosed or poorly ventilated work environments.
