Comfort
Comfort means a helmet that vents exhaled air. It means a headband that avoids scientifically determined pressure points around your head. And how a helmet provides eye and face protection while being comfortable for a full shift.

Peripherial vision
The first time a welder puts on a Speedglas welding helmet with side windows you can see his startled reaction. Previously hidden peripherial hazards (beams, obstacles, other workers) are now easier to see through the two, shade 5 side filters.
3M™ Speedglas™ 9100-Air Welding Helmet
The 9100-Air is designed for enhanced comfort and protection. The helmet has a smooth up-and-down pivot action that gently locks in the ‘up’ position. It comes with a highly adjustable head suspension system and a well-balanced design. This helps to optimize its center of gravity, keeping the helmet closer to the user’s head in both the up and down positions—making the helmet feel lighter, more stable and balanced at all times. Plus, the revolutionary design offers more coverage of vulnerable body areas, like the ears and sides of the neck, helping to protect from sparks, metal grindings and other spatter debris.
Respiratory technology
- Air duct helps provide refreshing airflow across the entire breathing zone
- Middle air channel helps keep the ADF virtually fog free, while the two side air channels help to provide evenly distributed air to the other areas of the breathing zone
Innovative head suspension
- Back of headband is self-adjusting and swivels to fit different head shapes
- Four settings let you determine the distance between your face and the helmet for optimum viewing
- Unique 2-strap crown adjustment for increased stability and reduced pressure on the top of the head
- Smooth ratchet mechanism lets you manually tighten the helmet to your personal preference
3M™ Speedglas™ 9100 FX-Air Welding Helmet
The 9100 FX-Air combines 3M’s legendary Speedglas quality and auto darkening technology (ADF) with an innovative wide-view grinding visor and improved respiratory protection system to give welders an all-in-one solution for more welding flexibility, precision and efficiency.
A smooth flip-up pivot mechanism assures effortless transition from welding to grinding modes. The exceptionally clear, wide grinding visor offers a greater
field of view.
Improved air delivery system
- Front of face air delivery helps provide cooling for hot work environments, while keeping the grinding visor virtually fog free
- Adjustable breathing tube at back of helmet is made of flexible tubing, so it does not stick out rigidly and lets users work in tight spaces or when lying on their back
- Respiratory protection is maintained when outer shield (ADF) is flipped in the upward position
- Breathing tube is attached to the headband instead of the helmet, so there is less pulling on the helmet from the breathing tube
Unique helmet design
- A clear, large (approx. 8” x 4.25”) view that is ideal for precision grinding and set-up tasks in low-light conditions
- Shade 5 SideWindows provide peripheral vision for increased safety when the welding shield is in place, optional covers are available to block the SideWindows for times when other welders are nearby
- Extended helmet coverage helps to protect from harmful
UV rays that can contribute to skin cancer - Clear inner grinding visor widened for increased peripheral vision enables users to work in tight spaces without turning their head
Your choice of auto-darkening filters (ADF)
The 3M™ Speedglas™ Welding Filter Series 9100 continues our tradition of outstanding optical quality, including uniform shading and minimal distortion across the entire filter viewing area. By selecting just the right setting for each task, you can reduce eye strain and improve the quality of every weld.

Which colour tone works best for you?
To provide even better view and control of your weld puddle we now introduce the 3M™ Speedglas™ Variable Colour Technology: you get to choose between natural (A), cool (B) or warm (C) tones for your dark state. You determine which colour tone provides the best viewing contrast for your welds, and the most comfort for your eyes.
3M™ Speedglas™ Welding Filters G5-01VC and G5-01TW
There are two options of 3M™ Speedglas™ AutoDarkening Filter Series G5-01 – both offering the popular 3M™ Speedglas™ Natural Colour Technology with great clarity before, during and after welding. The G5-01 filters allow for smoother dark-light filter transition. Both G5-01 filters are also designed to minimize eye strain when switching from dark state to light state, by using an inermediate shade (5 or 7 depending on filter model).

Speedglas G5-02
Why curved ADF?
Previously, you had to compromise: either a slim helmet or a wide view. With the curved G5-02 ADF, there are no compromises. The wider a flat ADF gets, the wider the helmet must become. We would like to present our latest solution: a curved ADF means a really slim helmet positioned closer to your eyes providing a wider field of view.
A brilliant light state
Great clarity before, during and after welding, with our 3M™ Speedglas™ Natural Colour Technology. Colors appear brighter and more realistic in both the light and dark states. And a more realistic view enables better control over your arc. Certified to shade 2.5, users swear the G5-02 light state appears to be even brighter.
Reliable switching
The latest, high-end, inverter-based TIG machines offer incredibly stable arcs. With our most advanced electronics ever and four arc sensors, the G5-02 welding filter reliably switches even at very low (e.g., 1 amp) TIG settings, easily exceeding the modest new pr ISO 16321 “TIG+” standards.
3M™ Speedglas™ Welding Helmet G5-02
Introducing the world’s first curved auto-darkening filter (ADF) with the 3M™ Speedglas™ Welding Helmet G5-02. Utilizing the new 3M™ Speedglas™ Curved Glass Technology, its shape follows your head’s curvature and expands the range of your peripheral vision.
Designed for specialist TIG welders, the G5-02 helmet sets a new world standard for precision ADF viewing. This is the helmet for welders doing high-performance, critical work.
Get wider views
in a slimmer helmet.
Previously, you had to compromise: either a slim helmet or a wide view. With the curved G5-02 welding filter, there are no compromises.
Flat filter in a slim helmet means the filter can't be wide
Expanded field of view with a flat filter requires a wider helmet.
A curved filter can give you a wider total field of view in a slim helmet.
A brilliant light state.
Great clarity before with our new 2.5 light state, and during the weld, with our 3M™ Speedglas™ Natural Colour Technology. Colours appear brighter and more realistic in both the light and dark states. And a more realistic view enables better control over your arc.
