OVERVIEW

Experience the Ultimate in Welding Comfort

Upgrade your welding experience with the Lincoln Electric VIKING™ X6 Headgear® Kit (KP4470-1), available now at Welders Supply. If you have been struggling with a welding helmet that slips, pinches, or causes neck strain by the end of the shift, the X6 headgear is the solution you have been waiting for. Engineered to provide a premium fit for Lincoln's top-tier helmets, this replacement kit transforms the feel of your Viking 3350, 2450, 1840, or 1740 series hood. It isn't just a strap; it is a sophisticated suspension system designed to keep you focused on the arc, not on your gear.

Innovative 6-Point Design

The standout feature of the KP4470-1 is its contoured design which establishes six separate contact points on your head. Unlike standard headgear that often relies on a simple tightening band, the X6 distributes the helmet's weight evenly. This optimization of balance is crucial for reducing the leverage placed on your neck muscles, allowing you to weld longer with less fatigue. Whether you are performing overhead welds or working at a bench, the secure fit ensures your optics remain perfectly aligned with your vision.

Easy Adjustment and Superior Cushioning

Say goodbye to pressure headaches. The X6 features flexible, padded front and rear headbands that conform to your head shape, eliminating the sharp pressure points found in lesser headgear. The innovative slide adjustments make sizing simple and precise, fitting hat sizes from 6.5 to 8 comfortably. Additionally, the vertical position hinge is designed to keep the helmet firmly in the "up" position when you need to grind or inspect your work, ensuring it doesn't flop down unexpectedly. This kit includes everything you need to refresh your helmet, including the headgear assembly, a sweatband, and a rear comfort pad.
