Optrel WeldCAP (1008.000)
Download Product Spec Sheet
The Optrel WeldCAP is an auto-darkening welder’s cap that brings together the comfort of a casual cap and the advantages of a full welding helmet. It is made with a unique combination of plastic and textile fabric parts. It is soft where it needs to be comfortable and rigid where it needs to be tough. The fabric portion is easily detachable and washable, is flame retardant, and is completely hygienic and classified for EN 379 and EN 175F.
Multi-purpose use
Darkening levels from 9 to 12 cover the majority of welding applications and with a protection level 3 in its general mode, you will have bright and well-lit view of the work-place. In level 3, WeldCAP is a good option for grinding jobs as well.
Extensive field of vision
One of the main benefits of the WeldCAP is the optical unit having a well-defined nose cut out that allows the visual unit to be closer to the eyes. This greatly enlarges your line of sight and increases your lateral and the horizontal fields of vision. Being able to see more will help your performance and safety.
Minimal weight
The Optrel WeldCAP weighs under one pound, so it is extremely lightweight. Since the ADF is closer to the eyes, the weight of the unit moves closer to its center of gravity, therefore increasing its stability and balance. The design eliminates pressure points and reduces strain on your neck.
Revolutionary wear comfort
