Hard hat protection with welding visibility built into the job.
Hard hat compatibility lets welders keep site-required head protection while switching instantly into welding mode.
400 g total weight reduces neck fatigue during repeated welding, fitting, and inspection cycles.
0.16 ms switching time darkens lens instantly when arc strikes during quick repair or tack jobs.
DIN 9–12 auto-dark range covers common MIG, TIG, and stick work without changing lenses.
Shade 3 grinding mode lets operators prep joints or clean welds without removing head protection.
