OVERVIEW

See Your Weld in a New Light

Take control of your welding environment with the 3M Speedglas G5-01VC Heavy-Duty Welding Helmet. If you spend your days under the hood in tough conditions, this system is built for you. It combines the legendary comfort of the Speedglas headgear with the fresh air of the Adflo PAPR, keeping you cool, safe, and focused even during long, high-amperage welds. The G5-01 isn't just a helmet; it's a customizable workstation for your head.

Customize Your View

Tired of the standard green glow? The G5-01VC (Variable Color) filter puts the choice in your hands. With the push of a button, you can switch between Natural, Cool, and Warm tones while welding.

  • Natural: Great for general precision and seeing true colors.
  • Cool: Enhances contrast, often preferred for high-heat processes.
  • Warm: Softens the light, reducing eye strain during long sessions.

Combined with a massive viewing area and a shade range up to 14, you have the optical power to handle TIG, MIG, and Stick welding with absolute precision.

Comfort That Lasts All Shift

Heavy-duty doesn't have to mean heavy and uncomfortable. The G5-01 is designed with a slim profile and an ergonomic headband that distributes weight evenly. The innovative airflow system lets you decide where the breeze goes—direct it onto your face for cooling or across the visor to stop fogging. When it's time to grind, simply flip up the welding shield to reveal a huge clear visor that gives you a wide field of view without needing to remove your respiratory protection. The Adflo unit does the heavy lifting, filtering out fumes and particulates so you can breathe easy, no matter how smoky the shop gets.

Smart Connectivity

Stay ahead of the curve by connecting your helmet to your smartphone. With the 3M Connected Equipment App, you can program up to ten memory modes for different jobs, check your ADF statistics, and even track when your maintenance is due. It’s the smartest, safest, and most adaptable helmet Speedglas has ever made.
