The 10 Best Helmets By 3M

Tying in a beam 100 feet up. Scaling a 1200-foot tower. When you work at height, this is just another day at the office. But when it comes to safety, 3M believes the bar can always be raised higher. That’s why we’re proud to offer the 3M SecureFit Safety Helmet. From our proprietary design to our industry-leading innovations, the 3M SecureFit Safety Helmet is engineered with workers in mind. The result is a revolutionary helmet design. Comfort without compromise. The 3M SecureFit Safety Helmet X5000 provides comfort and security for workers in a variety of situations because it features climbing helmet-inspired design that meets occupational safety requirements, works with a variety of 3M faceshields, earmuffs and other accessories, and the suspension incorporates exclusive 3M patented Pressure Diffusion technology. The 3M SecureFit Safety Helmet X5000 meets ANSI Z89. 1 and is tested to select impact and penetration requirements of the European EN12492 Mountaineering Helmet Standard for industrial climbing applications*, and is designed to provide head protection from small falling objects. Not only does it have modern climbing-helmet inspired design, it also provides increased comfort and security due to 3M’s Pressure Diffusion technology designed into the suspension. The brimless design helps to allow for enhanced awareness of some hazards. Moreover, the 3M SecureFit suspension uses 3M patented pressure diffusion technology that increases comfort while also providing a secure fit by reducing the force on the forehead up to 20%, compared to 3M conventional helmet suspension. A smooth, easy turning ratchet suspension system allows for tightening of the headband. There are also 15 adjustment settings on the 3M SecureFit Helmet X5000 series that allows for different height and front-to-back adjustments. It sits low on the head to reduce pressure, increase comfort and security. The vents are designed to allow airflow through the helmet. It also comes with a UVicator sensor that changes color as the hard hat is exposed to ultra violet (UV) light. The hard hat should be replaced when the sensor changes from red to white, because the sun’s UV rays can cause a hard hat shell to become brittle and compromise its ability to protect the wearer. Not only is this helmet equipped with accessory slots and clips that can work with variety of 3M accessories and other 3M PPE products, but it comes in eight colors and is available with 3M Scotchlite reflective material for increased visibility under low light conditions. *EN12492 Shock Absorbing (clauses 4. 2. 1. 1, 4. 2. 1. 2, 4. 2. 1. 3, 4. 2. 1. 4) and Penetration (clause 4. 2. 2).

Product Description

The Speedglas 9100X, dark shades 8-13, sensitivity adjustment allows use with all Stick, MIG and TIG processes, also has grinding and torch cutting modes. All new headgear makes this helmet extremely comfortable and versatile. Viewing area 9.12 sq in.

From the Manufacturer

3M™ Speedglas™ Welding Helmet 9100 with Auto Darkening Filter helps provide professional-grade eye and face protection from debris and harmful radiation including visible light, ultra-violet radiation (UV), infra-red radiation (IR), and sparks and spatter. While offering high-level protection, this welding helmet also delivers on comfort, which can lead to increased on-the-job worker productivity. For professional welders, this welding helmet is a good investment that can pay off with greater service and user satisfaction.

Auto Darkening Filter Reacts Quickly After Striking an Arc
The Speedglas lens features user-selectable dark shades of shades 5, 8, 9 through 13, and a light shade of 3. With a viewing area of 2.1 inches high x 4.2 inches wide (54 mm x 107 mm), the 9100X provides the second largest viewing area available in the 9100 Series helmets, and an improved field of view that helps the welder to see the work in progress with minimal obstruction.

Three arc detection sensors in the lens activate the auto-darkening filter when an arc is struck. The lens then switches from light to dark shade in approximately 0.1 milliseconds (1/10,000 of a second), giving the welder an instant transition from light to dark shade while maintaining an optimal view for torch placement and weld puddle control. When the weld is complete, the filter automatically returns to light shade 3 with a delay of approximately 40-250 milliseconds, allowing almost immediate inspection of the weld pool and preparation for the next weld. Exhaust vents readily direct your exhaled air out of the helmet, helping to reduce heat, humidity and fogging of the welding filter.

The auto darkening filter reduces the need to flip the welding helmet up and down between torch placements, which boosts productivity by reducing the stop-and-start time needed with passive lens welding helmets. This feature can also reduce neck stain from “helmet nodding,” while greatly increasing the accuracy of torch placement. This, in turn, can also reduce the need for grinding and rework, saving time, effort and money. The helmet’s battery life is approximately 2,500 hours. The two Cr2030 3V lithium batteries that power the Auto-Darkening filter are easily accessible and replaceable, extending the helmet life.

Welding Protection with Excellent Optics and Wider Views
The 3M™ Speedglas™ Auto-Darkening Filters Series 9100 offers uniform shading and minimal distortion across the entire filter viewing area. By selecting the right setting for each task, you help reduce eye strain and improve the quality and production of every weld. Any shade can be “locked-in.” For example, you can lock in the light state shade 3 for grinding. The 9100 series also includes an exclusive, innovative “tack welding comfort mode” which can help reduce eye strain.

One Helmet Works for Three Types of Welding
This fully assembled welding helmet with ADF (Auto Darkening Filter) offers sensitivity adjustments for use with most Stick (arc welding), MIG (Metal Inert Gas) and TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding applications. The welding helmet uses an auto darkening filter that can be adjusted for different shades based on the welding amperage.

The ultimate in comfort with a headband that shapes for a customized fit
3M™ Speedglas Series 9100 helmets feature a highly adjustable, ergonomically designed head suspension system featuring:

• Two adjustable crown straps for increased stability and weight distribution
• Padded front headband designed to evenly distribute pressure
• Swivel-mounted smooth ratchet system for simple, precise tightening and ergonomic fit
• Snap adjustment of nine different helmet angles
• Large knobs for simple adjustment of “prep” and “parking” pivot positions, even while wearing gloves
• Fits head sizes 6.25 to 8 (50 to 64 cm) approximately

The outside of the human head is lined with nerves, arteries, and acupuncture points: applying pressure to some of these spots can make a person feel fatigued. The headband of the Speedglas welding helmet series 9100 is designed to specifically avoid these vulnerable areas. By providing multiple adjustments and combinations, the helmet can be tailored to fit personal preferences and comfort settings. Less pressure, ¬ and a well adjusted personal fit – means more comfort, all day long.

The helmet also offers greater comfort when raised. Lifted into the raised position, the helmet’s “high point” is lower than many other helmets. From a design standpoint, that means keeping the helmet as close as possible to your head. Because the helmet is more balanced, the headband does not need to be tightened as much, helping to further increase wearing comfort. Adjustment of the helmet is easy. The smooth up-and-down pivot action can be “locked” in the up position – a light pull lowers the helmet back down again.

Versatile Eye and Face Protection for Welders
Welding helmets help protect the eyes and face in numerous ways. For starters, the helmet helps block the spatter of welding sparks and spatter produced during the welding process from reaching the eyes, face and head. Helping to protect the eyes from exceptionally bright light and rapid changes in brightness is another safety benefit of a welding helmet. Without protection, eyes can be temporarily or permanently injured by the intensity of light produced by welding. Eyes also have difficulty adjusting to rapid brightness changes while welding in dark locations, which can be both a productivity and safety issue. The helmet’s design allows for compatibility with select disposable welding respirators, including the 3M™ 8515, 8212, 8214, 8512, and 8514 Particulate Welding Respirators, to help provide respiratory protection for applications where metal fumes may be present. This durable and versatile welding helmet also meets the requirements of CSA Z94.3 and the high impact requirements of ANSI Z87.1-2010.

From the Manufacturer

3M™ Speedglas™ Welding Helmet 9100 FX with Side Windows and Auto Darkening Filter is a flip-up combination of an auto-darkening welding helmet and a protective visor. This system helps provide professional-grade eye and face protection from debris and harmful radiation including visible light, ultra-violet radiation (UV), infra-red radiation (IR), and sparks and spatter. The helmet offers a large viewing area and side windows with shade 5 filters increase your peripheral field of vision. A spark- and spatter-resistant headcover is also standard on all 3M Speedglas Welding Series 9100 FX Helmets. While offering high-level protection, this welding helmet also delivers on comfort, which helps to boost on-the-job worker satisfaction and productivity. For professional welders, this welding helmet is a good investment that can pay off with greater service and satisfaction.

Auto Darkening Filter Reacts Quickly After Striking an Arc
The Speedglas lens features user-selectable dark shades 5, 8, 9 through 13, and a light shade of 3.

Flip-up design eliminates the need to remove the helmet for non-welding tasks
Designed for ultimate worker convenience, this welding helmet allows you to position the auto darkening filter down for welding and flip it up for other tasks. When the auto darkening filter is flipped up, eyes and face are still protected from debris, chips, dust, sparks and other objects by a clear protective visor, which is curved to maximize peripheral vision. You get a clear, 8” x 4.25” (17 x 10 cm) view, which is enables for precision grinding and inspection in low light conditions. This wide field of view allows workers to see better and maintain high productivity on the job. Convenience is a main benefit of the flip-up welding helmet because it allows workers to handle non-welding tasks without removing the helmet or supplementing an additional face shield. For added worker protection, a spark- and spatter-resistant fabric head cover is standard on all 3M™ Speedglas™ Welding Helmet Series 9100 FX models.

Welding Protection with Excellent Optics, Wider Front Views and Side Windows
