KP4470-1 - Lincoln Viking X6 Replacement Headgear Kit

Ergonomic Support for Professional Welders

The Lincoln Electric Viking X6 Headgear (KP4470-1) represents a significant leap forward in welding helmet comfort and stability. Designed as a direct replacement or upgrade for the popular Viking series helmets, this headgear addresses the common complaints of fatigue and pressure associated with long-term helmet wear. By contouring specifically to the shape of the human head, the X6 system establishes six separate contact points. This multi-point suspension strategy is critical for distributing the weight of the welding hood evenly across the cranium, rather than focusing it on the forehead or the back of the neck. The result is a noticeable improvement in balance, making the helmet feel lighter and more stable during dynamic movements.

Precision Fit and Adjustment

Customization is at the core of the X6 design. The headgear features innovative slide adjustments that allow the welder to fine-tune the fit to their specific head shape and size, accommodating a hat size range of 6.5 to 8. The vertical position hinge is another safety-focused feature; it ensures that when the helmet is in the raised position, it stays securely out of the welder's line of sight, preventing accidental drops or visual obstruction. This mechanism also aids in maintaining the center of gravity close to the head, further reducing neck torque.

Premium Materials for All-Day Wear

Comfort extends beyond geometry. The X6 Headgear is equipped with flexible, padded front and rear headbands that cushion the contact areas, effectively eliminating common pressure points that lead to headaches. The kit comes complete with an installed sweatband to manage moisture and a cotton back pad for additional softness against the nape of the neck. Compatible with the VIKING 3350, 2450, 1840, and 1740 Series, this headgear is an essential component for any professional looking to maximize their personal protective equipment's performance and comfort.
