OVERVIEW

Secure and Comfortable Industrial Headgear

The Walter Industrial Head Gear (SKU: 16-HG) is a premium replacement suspension system designed to restore the comfort and functionality of your industrial safety equipment. Whether you are operating in a heavy fabrication shop, a construction site, or a manufacturing facility, the stability of your face shield or welding helmet is paramount to both safety and work quality. This headgear is engineered with a focus on ergonomics, ensuring that protective equipment remains securely in place without causing unnecessary pressure points or discomfort over long periods of wear.

At the core of this unit is a robust ratchet adjustment mechanism. Unlike pin-lock systems that require removing the helmet to adjust, this ratchet knob can be easily manipulated with one hand—even while wearing thick work gloves. This allows for on-the-fly tightening or loosening to accommodate beanies, welding caps, or changes in position. The overhead band is also adjustable, allowing users to set the depth of the helmet ride, ensuring that the viewing area of a welding lens or face shield aligns perfectly with the user's line of sight.

Durability is a key feature of the Walter 16-HG. Constructed from high-impact materials, it is built to withstand the rigors of daily industrial use, including exposure to heat, sparks, and rough handling. The assembly includes a soft, absorbent sweatband that helps manage perspiration, keeping it out of your eyes and improving overall hygiene. Replacing your old, worn-out headgear with this new assembly not only improves comfort but also enhances safety by ensuring your protective gear does not slip or fall during critical tasks.
