A Welding Helmet that Breathes!

The revolutionary 3M™ Speedglas™ Helmet 9000 features patented aerodynamic exhaust vents that help to remove exhaled air.

Welders experience lower humidity, less heat, and reduced “stuffiness.” The welder’s natural breathing action directs the exhaust airflow; no moving parts are involved. Fresh, incoming air is not drawn through the special vents; instead, it chooses the path of least resistance—the area around the welder’s neck, which is typically further away from the smoke plume.

Exhaled air is directed through the four aerodynamic vents. It then exhausts through two thin openings created between the double-shell construction of the heat-reflecting silver front panel and the black helmet.
