OVERVIEW

Versatile Protection for Cutting and Brazing

The ArcOne BG-FF-5 Browguard is a premium safety solution designed for professionals engaged in oxy-fuel cutting, brazing, and gas welding operations. This versatile face shield system combines impact protection with essential filtration for bright light and infrared radiation. Its defining feature is the dual-visor design: a standard clear polycarbonate shield sits closest to the face to provide continuous impact protection, while a hinged IR5 shaded visor can be flipped down specifically for hot work.

Workers often need to inspect their workpiece or perform grinding tasks immediately before or after cutting. With the BG-FF-5, there is no need to swap helmets or safety glasses. Simply flip up the IR5 shade to reveal the clear visor underneath for a bright, unobstructed view of the workspace. When it's time to light the torch, a quick flip down engages the Shade 5 protection required to shield eyes from harmful radiation and glare.

Comfort is paramount for all-day wear, and ArcOne delivers with a lightweight browguard assembly. The unit features fully adjustable ratcheting headgear that allows users to dial in the perfect fit, ensuring the shield stays securely in place even when moving or leaning over workbenches. The large 16" x 8" viewing area ensures excellent peripheral vision, reducing the "tunnel vision" effect common with smaller goggles.

Key Benefits

  • Dual Functionality: Seamlessly switch between cutting (Shade 5) and grinding (Clear) modes.
  • Full Coverage: The wrap-around design protects the entire face from sparks, spatter, and flying debris.
  • Enhanced Comfort: Balanced weight distribution and custom-fit headgear reduce fatigue.
