OVERVIEW

Restore Comfort and Stability to Your Powerweld Helmet

The Powerweld PWHHG Headgear Complete is the essential replacement part for welders using Powerweld's popular variable shade 9-13 auto-darkening helmets. Over time, the suspension system of a welding helmet can endure significant wear and tear from daily use, sweat, and constant adjustment. A worn-out headgear not only compromises comfort but can also affect safety by failing to hold the helmet securely in the correct position. This complete assembly allows you to refresh your existing helmet shell without the expense of purchasing an entirely new unit.

Designed with the welder's ergonomics in mind, this headgear features a high-quality ratchet adjustment mechanism located at the rear. This knob allows for smooth, precise tightening or loosening, ensuring a snug fit that prevents the helmet from slipping down or shifting while you work. The ability to adjust the fit with a simple turn is particularly useful when wearing welding caps or beanies of varying thicknesses underneath.

In addition to the rear ratchet, the assembly includes adjustable top straps. These straps are crucial for setting the "ride height" of the helmet, ensuring that the viewing area of the lens aligns perfectly with your eyes. Proper vertical alignment reduces neck strain and improves visibility. The headgear also comes pre-fitted with a comfortable sweatband, which helps absorb moisture and provides a soft cushion against the forehead, further enhancing comfort during long welding sessions.

Installation is straightforward and quick. The PWHHG is designed to snap or bolt into the mounting points of compatible Powerweld shells, meaning you can get back to work in minutes. Whether your original headgear has snapped or simply lost its tension, this genuine Powerweld replacement restores the factory-new feel of your protective equipment.
