OVERVIEW

Reliable Industrial Head Protection

The Walter Airshield: Black Helmet is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of industrial welding environments. Designed with the professional fabricator in mind, this helmet combines robust impact resistance with a lightweight form factor, ensuring that safety does not come at the expense of productivity. The shell is constructed from a high-grade, heat-resistant polymer that withstands the thermal intensity of heavy-duty MIG, TIG, and Stick welding applications.

Safety managers and procurement specialists will appreciate the Airshield's compliance with major safety standards, offering reliable protection against UV/IR radiation and flying debris. The helmet's geometry is specifically contoured to deflect smoke and fumes away from the user's immediate breathing zone, contributing to a safer working environment when combined with proper ventilation. Its matte black finish is not only professional in appearance but also functional, reducing glare and reflection in bright shop environments.

The included suspension system features a multi-point adjustable ratchet headgear. This ensures a stable fit that stays in place even when the user is working in out-of-position welds. The Walter Airshield is designed for longevity and ease of maintenance; replacement parts such as sweatbands and cover lenses are easily accessible, making it a cost-effective solution for equipping an entire workforce.
