OVERVIEW

The Ultimate Helmet for Multitasking Welders

Imagine a welding helmet that works as hard as you do, adapting instantly to whatever the job throws your way. The Speedglas 9100 FX is designed for the welder who does it all—fitting, tacking, welding, and grinding—without ever needing to switch gear. With a smooth flip-up front, you can lift the auto-darkening lens to reveal a massive, crystal-clear grinding visor. This 8-inch wide curved visor gives you an unobstructed view of your workpiece, perfect for precision grinding or setting up your next joint, all while keeping your face protected from sparks and debris.

At the heart of this helmet is the Speedglas 9100X lens. It offers a large viewing area that lets you see more of your work without constantly moving your head. The optics are legendary for a reason: you get true-to-life color and contrast, helping you read the puddle better and lay down perfect beads. Plus, with the exclusive SideWindows, you don't have that "tunnel vision" feeling. You can see movement and obstacles beside you, which keeps you safer in busy shop environments. If you prefer a darker tunnel view for certain jobs, simply snap on the included cover plates.

Comfort is king when you're under the hood for eight hours a day. The 9100 FX features a headgear system that molds to your head, balancing the weight perfectly so it doesn't feel front-heavy, even with the visor up. The venting system keeps you cool by directing your breath out of the helmet, preventing that stuffy, humid feeling. Whether you are TIG welding delicate stainless or burning heavy flux-core, the 9100 FX with the 9100X lens gives you the control, clarity, and convenience to perform at your best.

FAQ

The 9100X filter requires two CR2032 3V lithium batteries. The expected battery life is approximately 2,500 hours of use.

Yes, the ADF can be locked in Shade 3 (light state), but the 9100 FX is designed with a flip-up front that reveals a clear polycarbonate visor specifically for grinding, which offers a better field of view.

The primary difference is the viewing area size. The 9100X (included in this SKU) has a viewing area of 2.1" x 4.2", while the 9100XX is larger at 2.8" x 4.2".

The SideWindows are passive Shade 5 filters. If you find them distracting or if there is intense glare from other welders nearby, you can cover them with the included solid blackout plates.

No, this specific shell (9100 FX) is not sealed for air delivery. You would need the Speedglas 9100 FX-Air shell to use with a 3M Adflo PAPR system.

Clean the visor with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners that could scratch or damage the anti-fog coating.

The 9100X lens switches from light to dark in approximately 0.1 milliseconds at 73°F (23°C).

The suspension is highly adjustable and can accommodate a baseball cap worn backwards, though the ergonomic design is most effective when worn directly on the head.
