Low-Profile Hard Hat
Goes Into Tight Spaces
The special acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS)
hard hat has a low-profile that is excellent for
entering space-restricted areas. Its short brim
design means the welding helmet and filter are
closer to the welder’s face, which is ideal for
precision welding. The hard hat has a ratcheting
headband for fast, secure, top-of-the-head sizing.
Its sweatband is made from terry cloth and soft
foam and its six-point webbing system provides
excellent shock absorption and comfort.

AUTO-DARKENING FILTERS
A Balanced Hard Hat
Designed for Welders:

ProTop System
The new ProTop combination hard hat, welding
helmet, and auto-darkening filter system is
especially designed for welders working in areas
with overhead hazards.
The key to the Speedglas ProTop system is the
exclusive pivot mechanism that connects the
welding helmet to the hard hat. Traditional welding
hard hats create a very high center-of-gravity when
the welding helmet is raised; as a result, the user
feels off-balance, and the leveraged weight may put
additional strain on neck muscles. On the other
hand, the ProTop pivot mechanism has two sets of
axes: one to lift the welding helmet away from the
welder’s face, and another axis to “nest” the
welding helmet down low over the hard hat, in a
balanced, secure position.
In addition to having a much more comfortable
(lower) center-of-gravity, the nested welding helmet
is much less likely to bump into obstacles as the
welder moves around the work area.
