0700000430 - ESAB G30 Passive Flip-Up Welding & Grinding Helmet - Shade 10

ESAB G30 Flip Front Welding Helmet Overview

The ESAB G30 Flip Front Welding Helmet (SKU: 0700000430) represents a unique design evolution in passive welding and grinding protection. Engineered for versatility, this helmet features a dual-visor system that allows operators to switch seamlessly between welding and grinding tasks. The outer flip-up visor houses the welding lens, while the large inner visor serves as a protective shield for grinding and inspection. A critical safety feature of the G30 is its ability to provide effective protection against UV and IR radiation regardless of whether the flip visor is in the open or closed position, ensuring continuous eye safety in dynamic work environments.

Constructed from Zytel, a high-performance nylon resin, the helmet shell offers an optimal balance of extreme durability and lightweight comfort. Weighing approximately 570g (1.2 lbs), it reduces operator fatigue during extended periods of use. The shell design provides full head and face coverage, protecting the user from sparks, spatter, and debris. The flip mechanism includes an upper retention stop, which eliminates the annoyance of the visor dropping down unintentionally while the user is grinding or positioning workpieces.

The G30 is equipped with the ESAB Comfort Headgear, designed with a large adjustment ratchet and a comfort sweatband to ensure a secure and personalized fit. The viewing area is expansive, measuring 155 x 170 mm (6.1 x 6.7 in.), which significantly enhances visibility and spatial awareness. This specific model comes pre-fitted with a Shade 10 outer lens and a Shade 2 inner lens. However, the system is modular; the inner lenses are changeable (available in Clear, Shade 2, 3, 5) and the outer lenses can be swapped for different shade levels (Shade 5, 8, 10), allowing the helmet to be customized for various amperage levels and processes including Stick, MIG/MAG, TIG, Plasma Cutting, and Oxy/Fuel Cutting.
