OVERVIEW

Reliable Clarity and Protection for Cutting and Brazing

As a welder or fabricator, you know that different arcs and flames require different levels of protection. While your hood is essential for the heavy lifting of MIG or TIG welding, it can be cumbersome for lighter tasks like oxy-fuel cutting, soldering, or brazing. Enter the Walter 2000S Safety Glasses with IR3 Lens. These spectacles are specifically designed to bridge the gap between clear safety glasses and a full welding helmet, giving you the Shade 3.0 protection necessary to block harmful infrared radiation and glare from torch flames without darkening your view so much that you can't see your layout lines.

The 2000S features a sleek smoke frame that sits comfortably on the face, designed to be worn for hours without creating pressure points behind the ears or on the nose bridge. The polycarbonate lenses are not only tinted for radiation safety but are also built to take a beating. In the shop, sparks fly, and slag chips can travel at dangerous speeds; these glasses meet ANSI Z87.1 standards to ensure your eyes are shielded from high-velocity impacts. The hard-coat finish helps resist the inevitable scratches that come from shop life, keeping your vision clear and unobstructed.

Visibility is key when you are feathering a torch or running a precise cut. The optical quality of the Walter IR3 lens ensures that you see the puddle and the flame clearly, allowing for better control over your heat input and travel speed. The side protection is integrated into the design, offering peripheral coverage that prevents stray UV light or debris from entering from the sides.

Don't risk "welder's flash" or eye fatigue by using clear glasses for torch work, and don't struggle to see through a dark Shade 10 hood when you only need a Shade 3. The Walter 2000S is the perfect dedicated tool for your cutting and brazing tasks, combining professional-grade safety with the comfort you need to stay focused on the job.

FAQ

An IR3 (Shade 3) lens is designed for protection against infrared and ultraviolet radiation produced during torch brazing, torch soldering, and light oxy-fuel cutting. It reduces glare and protects the eyes from harmful rays associated with these processes.

No. Shade 3 is far too light for electric arc welding processes like MIG, TIG, or Stick. Using these for arc welding can result in severe eye damage or arc flash. You typically need a minimum of Shade 10 for those processes.

Yes, the Walter 2000S glasses are made with polycarbonate lenses and meet ANSI Z87.1 and CSA Z94.3 standards for high-velocity impact protection, making them suitable for grinding and general shop safety.

The Walter 2000S is a spectacle-style safety glass. While they have a comfortable fit, they are generally not designed to be worn over prescription glasses (OTG). You would typically need specific OTG safety glasses for that purpose.

Yes, the lenses feature a hard coating that provides resistance against scratches and abrasions, extending the life of the eyewear in industrial environments.

The frame color for this specific model (SE-2009) is Smoke, giving it a modern and professional appearance.

Yes, the polycarbonate material naturally blocks 99.9% of harmful UVA and UVB rays, in addition to the specific IR protection provided by the tint.

The design of the Walter 2000S incorporates wraparound coverage or integrated side protection to shield the eyes from peripheral hazards.
