The 10 biggest strengths of Speedglas G5-01

3M Speedglas

WHAT ARE THE MAIN ADVANTAGES OF THE 3M SPEEDGLAS G5-01 OVER ITS PREDECESSOR THE SPEEDGLAS 9100 FX AIR?

The 3M Speedglas 9100 FX Air with the well-known Adflo PAPR quickly became the professional welder's favourite PAPR after its launch in 2011.
Unsurprisingly, therefore, they are very curious about the strengths of its successor, the Speedglas G5-01.

We have listed the most notable differences for you:

1/ Variable Colour Technology

Both helmets feature Speedglas TrueView technology, however, the Speedglas G5-01 takes colour technology one step further by giving you control over the colour tone of your dark state.

2/ Larger welding lens and clear grinding visor

The Speedglas FX Air exploded onto the market with the largest viewing area available. The Speedglas G5-01 lifts the bar with the largest Speedglas welding lens viewing area ever. The clear grinding visor is also over 15% larger.


3/ More Narrow Profile  

The Speedglas G5-01 has taken the FX Air profile and improved it by offering greater coverage and protection while decreasing width. The Speedglas G5-01 offers welders a more narrow profile for tight spaces.


4/ Airflow Climate Control

Did you ever get dry eyes, dry mouth or runny nose from the constant flow of clean air provided by your powered air protection? Guided by welders’ feedback, the G5-01 now allows you to control where the air is directed within the welding helmet with complete flow control.

5/ Removable Flip-Up Welding Component

A new innovative feature allows you to quickly remove the flip-up auto-darkening component of the G5-01, leaving you with the clear visor for continuous powered air respiratory protection. For welders who undertake extended non-welding work this function allows you to decrease the weight of the helmet by over 35%.


6/ New Head Harness with More Stable Fit

The Speedglas G5-01 takes the head harness to a new comfort level, making adjustments a breeze.
It allows you to fully customise your head and neck protection with nine different options.


7/ Shade 14 for High Amps

Designed for heavy duty welders the G5-01 gives you a wider dark shade range (3/5/8-14) with a new high amperage shade 14 for the heavy, high amp applications.


8/ Simplified Face Seal Connection

Ever changed a face seal? The new Speedglas G5-01 makes this necessary task simple with an innovative face seal connection.


9/ Mobile connectivity

Pair your welding helmet to your smart phone and control all the action from your phone. Plug-in your lens settings (shade, sensitivity, delay), benefit from four programmable memory modes, and review your statistics.


10/ Optional task light

The optional helmet mounted task light gives welders even light distribution while casting a wide light on the work piece. Configure the light intensity to your environment.
