OILSH1100 - Shade 3 Retractable Cutting Face Shield with 4x5 View

Crystal Clear Protection for Gas Applications

When working with oxy-fuel torches, visibility and protection are paramount. The Shade 3 Retractable Cutting Helmet is designed to bridge the gap between standard safety glasses and full-coverage welding hoods. Built with a specialized "Acryloc" material, this helmet offers robust impact resistance while maintaining a lightweight profile that won't weigh you down during long shifts. The standout feature is undoubtedly the expansive 4" x 5" viewing area, which provides a panoramic view of your workpiece, far superior to the tunnel vision often experienced with traditional cutting goggles.

Comfort is key in any safety equipment, and this unit delivers with a fully adjustable headgear system. The retractable visor mechanism is a game-changer for workflow efficiency. Instead of constantly removing the entire helmet to inspect a cut or check your equipment settings, you can simply flip the visor up. This seamless transition helps maintain momentum in your work while ensuring your eyes are protected the moment the torch is lit. The Shade 3 lens is specifically calibrated for gas welding, brazing, and cutting applications, filtering out harmful UV and IR radiation generated by the flame without obscuring the details of the puddle or cut line.

Whether you are in an industrial fabrication shop, an automotive repair center, or a home garage, this helmet provides the professional-grade protection you need. The Acryloc lens is durable against scratching and pitting from minor sparks, ensuring a long service life. By choosing a full-face shield over simple goggles, you also gain the added benefit of facial skin protection against heat and flying debris, making this an essential addition to your PPE arsenal.
