OVERVIEW

Reliable Passive Protection with ESAB Arc Shield A2

The ESAB Arc Shield A2, widely recognized as the Eco Arc II, is a high-performance passive welding helmet designed for professionals who demand reliability and versatility. Unlike auto-darkening helmets that rely on batteries and sensors, this passive helmet utilizes a fixed-shade mineral glass filter, ensuring consistent protection against harmful UV and IR radiation every time the arc is struck. Its defining feature is the flip-up front visor, which houses the dark welding lens. When the visor is lifted, a clear inner lens is revealed, providing full facial protection for grinding, chipping, and inspection tasks without the need to remove the helmet.

Constructed from a lightweight yet durable polypropylene (PP) shell, the Arc Shield A2 weighs approximately 484g, significantly reducing neck strain during extended periods of use. The shell design is optimized to provide complete coverage, protecting the welder's face, chin, and neck from sparks, spatter, and heat. The helmet is supplied with a standard 110 x 90 mm shade 11 mineral glass lens, which offers excellent optical clarity and scratch resistance. This standard size makes finding replacement lenses easy and cost-effective.

The internal headgear is fully adjustable, allowing users to customize the fit for maximum comfort and stability. Whether you are performing MIG, TIG, or Stick welding, the ESAB Arc Shield A2 delivers robust protection in a simple, effective package. It is an ideal choice for workshops, industrial fabrication, and maintenance operations where a rugged, battery-free solution is preferred.
