Welding Helmets & Visors With Respirator (Adflo PAPR)

A welding helmet with a respirator, often called a PAPR (powered air-purifying respirator) or air-fed welding helmet, is a helmet connected to a 3M Adflo powered respirator. The Adflo unit draws in the surrounding air, filters it and delivers it to the helmet through a breathing tube, so you breathe filtered air while you weld.

The Speedglas G5-01 is a flip-up helmet built for heavy-duty welding. The G5-03 Pro Air is a non-flip-up helmet with side windows, and the NC version is the entry point to the Adflo range. The 9100XXi MP Air models comes with a safety helmet for hard-hat sites.

Need respiratory and face protection without a welding lens, for work like grinding? The Versaflo clear visors (M-207, M-307 and M-407) come with the Adflo PAPR.
