3M Speedglas G5-01 TW Heavy-Duty Flip-Up Welding Helmet with Adflo PAPR with Task Light

The Speedglas G5 01TW Heavy Duty Flip Up Welding Helmet with Adflo PAPR is the latest release in the G5 (Generation 5) Speedglas range. The TW stands for Tack Welding (different to the G5-01VC which stands for Variable Colour)

Like the G5-01VC, this helmet is designed for heavy welders and has a range of new features not previously seen, including the ability to direct airflow to different areas of the helmet, slimmer design easier for confined spaces, additional comfort features in the harness and an optional light for the front of the helmet.

The G5-01TW comes with an extra 'tack welding mode' which allows the eyes to adjust while tacking, with an intermediate shade instead of returning to shade 3 instantly after a weld.

The G5-01 range (both the G5-01TW and G5-01VC) also come with a range of new spares making it a very versatile helmet and gives the welder the ability to either reduce the weight/size of the helmet, or increase their protection by adding extra head protection.

This is the Speedglas G5-01TW with an attached task light. If you're looking for the Speedglas G5-01TW without the task light, you can find it here.

- The ability to easily remove the lens for when you're grinding (making it lighter).

- The ability to choose where you want the air directed in the helmet (if your eyes dry out when using a PAPR usually, this is an amazing feature).

- Slightly narrower helmet design than the 9100XXi FX Air, which is better for confined space work.

- The option of including a task light is a popular feature and we can install the task light meaning you don't have to.
