FlexView System in
a “Breathable” Helmet
The FlexView system is the only product to offer
users a clear visor combined with a “breathable”
helmet: the Speedglas 9000.
The helmet’s four aerodynamically designed exhaust
vents help to reduce heat and humidity. (For a FlexView
system with Adflo™ Respirator, see page 30.)
And with the exclusive SideWindows model, the
helmet’s viewing area is increased via two shade 5
peripheral filters.

FlexView System
The new FlexView has a big, 4.75" x 3.6" (120mm
x 90 mm) clear polycarbonate faceshield that’s
ideal for precision weld preparation under a variety
of light conditions.
The user simply lifts up the spring-mounted filter
assembly for weld prep. The spring holds the auto-
darkening filter securely on top of the helmet,
giving the welder a big, clear view behind the
FlexView faceshield.
The faceshield allows for precision grinding and
cleaning, the careful alignment of electrodes and
the inspection of newly-completed welds…all with
constant eye and face protection, even in the
darkest workshop.
The faceshield meets the ANSI Z87.1-2003
industrial eye and face protection standard, which
does not recommend “…filter or tinted filters that
restrict light transmittance…” when chipping or
grinding (American National Standard Institute
Z87.1 Selection Chart, Impact Protectors).*
Ideal for Weld
Preparation/Grinding:
FlexView
*Impact resistant, primary eye protection, spectacles or
goggles that meet current ANSI specifications, must be
worn at all times when using any welding helmet.
