OVERVIEW

Restore Optimal Comfort and Stability

The Walter Headgear for the Optiva (OPT-1020) is the essential replacement suspension system designed specifically for the Walter Optiva welding helmet series. Over time, the daily rigors of welding—heat, sweat, and constant movement—can wear down your helmet's internal harness, leading to a loose fit and increased neck strain. This genuine replacement part restores your helmet to its factory-original comfort and stability.

Engineered with the welder's ergonomics in mind, this headgear features a robust ratchet adjustment mechanism. A simple turn of the rear knob allows you to tighten or loosen the band for a secure fit, even while wearing welding gloves. The multi-point suspension system distributes the weight of the helmet evenly across the head, eliminating pressure points and preventing the hood from slipping down while you are working in out-of-position welds.

Installation is straightforward and requires no special tools, meaning you can swap out your old, worn headgear and get back to work in minutes. The assembly includes an integrated sweatband to manage moisture and improve hygiene. By maintaining a secure fit, you ensure that your auto-darkening filter remains properly aligned with your line of sight, enhancing both safety and weld quality.
