KP3705-1 - Lincoln Viking 3250D FGS Side Window Blackout Covers (Pair)

Stay Focused with Lincoln Viking Side Window Covers

You chose the Lincoln Viking 3250D FGS for its incredible clarity and that wide-screen view that lets you see everything around you. It’s a game-changer for safety and moving around the shop. But let's be honest: there are days when you just need to zone out the rest of the world and focus entirely on the puddle in front of you. Maybe you are working in a cramped shop with three other guys welding right next to you, or maybe the overhead lighting is hitting your peripheral lens just right and causing a glare. That is exactly where the Lincoln KP3705-1 Side Window Covers come in handy.

These covers are the "do not disturb" sign for your welding helmet. They snap right into the inside of your 3250D FGS, instantly blocking out the shade 5 side windows. The result? You get that traditional, focused tunnel vision that helps you lock in on critical welds without distraction. The best part is how easy they are to use. You don't need a screwdriver or an engineering degree to install them. They just clip in securely when you need them and pop out when you want your peripheral vision back. It’s like having two helmets in one.

We know that weight matters when you are under the hood for eight hours a day. Lincoln designed these covers to be ultra-lightweight—we're talking just a few grams. You won't even feel the difference in the balance of your headgear. They are made from tough, opaque material that completely blocks out stray arcs, sparks, and shop lights from the side. Whether you are TIG welding on a bench or sticking structural steel in a busy bay, these covers give you control over your visual environment. Keep a pair in your gear bag so you are ready for whatever the job site throws at you.

Why You Need These in Your Kit

If you work in a multi-welder environment, peripheral arc flash can be more than just annoying—it can cause eye strain and fatigue by constantly forcing your eyes to adjust to changing light levels. By blocking those side windows during heavy welding sessions, you reduce that strain, keeping your eyes fresh for the precision work. It is a small investment that makes a massive difference in your daily comfort and weld quality.
