The Optrel Helix Pure Air Quattro Hard Hat is a premium PAPR-ready welding and grinding helmet designed for industrial fabrication, structural steel, pipe welding, manufacturing, and heavy-duty shop environments.
It combines Optrels panoramic auto-darkening lens system with a removable ANSI-certified hard hat and compatibility with the e3000x powered air respirator system.
Features
Panoramic XXL Viewing Area
Offers up to 6x the field of view compared to standard welding lenses, improving peripheral visibility and spatial awareness while welding or grinding.
ShadeTronic Auto-Shading
Automatically adjusts lens shade levels based on arc intensity and lighting conditions without manual adjustment.
FadeTronic Technology
Controls the delay from dark-to-light state after welding to reduce eye fatigue and improve comfort during repeated weld cycles.
Slide-Up Grinding Mode
Internal slide-up lens allows quick transition between welding and grinding without removing the helmet.
5-Sensor Arc Detection
Five intelligent sensors improve arc detection in low-amp TIG and difficult lighting environments.
True Color View
Provides realistic color perception without the heavy green tint common in older welding helmets.
Removable ANSI Hard Hat
Includes removable ANSI Z89.1 Type 1 Class C hard hat for industrial and construction-site compliance.
Rechargeable Battery System
Solar-assisted lithium-polymer battery can be recharged via Micro USB.
IsoFit Headgear
3D adjustable headgear system designed to distribute weight evenly and improve long-shift comfort.
Overhead Welding Design
Rounded front lens design improves ergonomics and protection for overhead welding applications.
