OVERVIEW

Product Overview

The Algo SP349 is a specialized welding helmet accessory designed to enhance operator safety by providing supplemental protection to the neck and upper chest area. Constructed from flame-retardant (FR) treated cotton, this bib serves as a critical barrier against ultraviolet (UV) radiation, infrared (IR) light, and light welding spatter that can bypass the lower edge of standard welding helmets. The unit measures 14 inches in length, offering substantial coverage that bridges the gap between the helmet and the welder's jacket or collar.

Technical Specifications

The bib utilizes a universal Velcro attachment system, allowing it to be retrofitted onto virtually any standard welding hood or hard hat configuration. The cotton material is selected for its balance of protection and breathability, minimizing operator fatigue caused by heat stress. Unlike heavier leather counterparts, the cotton fabric allows for better air circulation while still maintaining sufficient resistance to radiant heat and minor sparks. The 14-inch drop is engineered to flex with the wearer's movements, ensuring that protection is maintained even when the head is tilted or turned during complex welding maneuvers.

Application and Maintenance

Ideal for TIG, MIG, and general fabrication environments where overhead spatter is minimal but arc intensity is high. The Velcro mounting points allow for rapid detachment, facilitating easy inspection and cleaning. This accessory is an essential component for compliance with safety protocols regarding exposed skin during arc welding operations.

FAQ

It uses a Velcro strip system. One side of the Velcro adheres to the bottom edge of your welding helmet, and the bib attaches to that strip.

Yes, the cotton is treated to be flame retardant (FR) to resist ignition from sparks and light spatter.

Because it uses a universal Velcro attachment, it is compatible with almost all standard welding helmets and hoods.

The bib hangs down approximately 14 inches from the attachment point.

Cotton FR items can typically be washed, but you should follow specific care instructions to avoid washing out the flame-retardant treatment. Avoid bleach.

While it protects against UV and light sparks, for heavy overhead slag and spatter, a leather bib might offer superior thermal protection compared to cotton.

No, the bib attaches to the bottom or chin area of the helmet, well away from the lens and sensors.

Cotton is significantly lighter and more breathable, reducing neck strain and heat buildup, which is preferable for lower-spatter applications.
