OVERVIEW

Reliable Protection for Cutting and Brazing

When the sparks start flying, you need gear that stands up to the heat. The Jackson Safety IR 5.0 Face Shield is built for welders and fabricators who demand reliable protection during oxy-fuel cutting and brazing tasks. Unlike clear shields that only stop debris, this Dark Green Shade 5 visor actively filters out the intense infrared and UV light that can cause eye fatigue and permanent damage over time.

Made from tough Polycarbonate, this shield is ready for the rigors of the shop. It handles heat better than standard plastics and provides excellent impact resistance against flying sparks and slag. The 15.5-inch width ensures your peripheral vision is protected, while the 8-inch height covers your face from forehead to chin. Whether you are working on a pipeline, in an automotive shop, or on a construction site, this shield gives you the confidence to focus on your flame.

This visor is designed to be a direct replacement for your existing headgear setup. It snaps easily into place on most Jackson Safety brow guards and headgear systems. Don't compromise on your vision safety—upgrade to a polycarbonate Shade 5 shield that offers both clarity and durability. It’s the smart choice for anyone working with torches.

Why Choose Polycarbonate?

Polycarbonate shields are significantly stronger than acetate alternatives. They provide higher impact ratings, meaning they are less likely to crack or shatter if hit by a loose grinding rock or heavy slag. For thermal cutting applications, this added durability translates to a longer lifespan for your PPE and better protection for your face.
