More than 35 years ago, we went to the shipyards to observe welders. They blindly struck arcs as they continually nodded their helmets down. They were accidentally flashed by other welders, or even themselves. We asked, "What if…welders could always see, even with their helmets down?' Since then, we have been systematically addressing ergonomic challenges that welders face.

3M is the supplier of Speedglas Welding Helmets and Systems for eye, face and respiratory protection. Our knowledge and experience of welders' working conditions sparks innovative development of products that enable welding performance and make the welder's job safer and more comfortable.

Your patience has been rewarded with four new 3M™ Speedglas™ Welding Helmets, offering flip-up function, hard hat and/or respiratory protection. Each model also has all of the features of our top-of-the-line 3M™ Speedglas™ Welding Helmet Series 9100.
