Variable Colour Technology

  • Both welding helmets feature Speedglas TrueView technology, however, the Speedglas G5-01 takes colour technology to the next level by giving you control over the colour tone of your dark state.
  • The G5-01 provides better control of your weld puddle, with a view that appears brighter and more realistic.
  • The G5-01 focuses on your welding set-up, welding technique and inspection of just-completed welds.
  • The G5-01 provides a clearer view of coloured welding machine controls, even with your helmet in the safe, down position. 

Colour Technology: Selection of Natural (A), Cool (B) or Warm (C) tones for your dark state.

Airflow Climate Control

Based on welders feedback, they get dry mouth, dry eyes or a runny nose from the constant flow of clean air provided by your powered air protection. The G5-01 now allows you to control where the air flow is directed in the welding helmet with complete airflow control.

All airflow adjustments can be made while wearing the helmet, maintaining your face, eye and respiratory protection.

Slimmer Profile Design

The Speedglas G5-01 has taken the FX Air profile and improved it by offering greater coverage and protection while decreasing the helmets width.
The Speedglas G5-01 offers welders a more narrow profile suitable for tight spaces.

Removable Flip Up Component

A new advanced feature allows you to quickly and easily remove the flip-up auto-darkening component of the Speedglas G5-01, leaving you with the clear visor for continuous powered air respiratory protection.

For welders who undertake extended non-welding work this function allows you to minimize the weight of the helmet by over 35%.

The Flip-up component allows you to easily change between welding and grinding tasks.
Easily set-up, inspect and move around the workplace with perfect clear vision while maintaining your eye, face and respiratory protection.
