Legendary Car Designer Models Helmet After His 500-HP Hemisfear(TM) Hot Rod
Cleveland - Lincoln Electric has teamed up with Chip Foose - award-winning custom car designer and die-hard Lincoln Electric enthusiast - to introduce Vista® Hemisfear(TM), an auto-darkening welding helmet inspired by Foose's 500-HP Hemisfear hot rod.
The latest edition to Lincoln's Vista® series of welding helmets, the Hemisfear welding helmet captures the essence of Foose's limited production hot rod, a classic car that gave Foose one of his initial claims to fame in 2006. The helmet features the hot rod's three distinct colors: neon green, black and orange with a custom silver stripe on the side. Other embellishments to the helmet include Chip Foose's signature and the Foose Design(TM) logo.
The Vista Hemisfear is the company's first using a new lightweight shell design, bringing the total helmet weight to 20 oz. or less depending on configuration. All Vista helmets feature:
o Solar powered auto-darkening, eliminating operator error and alkaline corrosion
o Grind and TIG modes, as well as variable delay settings for greater operator control
o Four independent arc sensors to ensure reliability
o Different view sizes for user preferences, including the 3000 series, with one of the largest views in the industry
