MATHESON Offers Two New Welding Helmets

Basking Ridge, NJ – USA – MATHESON has rolled out two new welding helmets as part of their exclusive MATHESON Select® line of welding accessories, safety supplies, welding tools, and filler metals. The helmets are stocked in MATHESON stores from coast-to-coast.

The new helmets weigh just 13 ounces, and are claimed to be the lightest welding helmets in the world.

The helmets feature a large viewing area with an adjustable auto-darkening filter (ADF) that operates from shade 9 to shade 13. The electronic ADF features adjustable sensitivity and delay settings, complemented by a power-saving, fully automatic power on/off function.

The light state shade is shade 4, with alternate fixed shades also available. The wrap-around shade design provides a 180 degree field of vision.

Both helmets are low-profile, with a face forming design to enable better airflow for a cooler experience during operation and greater user comfort.

The helmets feature bold, eye-catching graphic designs. The Freedom 180 Model is a stars and stripes design; and the Blaze 180 Model design incorporates bright orange and yellow flames.

Both of the MATHESON Select® Helmets include two bonus front cover protective lenses and a helmet bag.

MATHESON Vice President of Retail Operations and Hardgoods Sourcing, Ian Freedman, commented, "We offer many different welding helmets in our stores. Technically, the design and shape of these two new MATHESON Select® Helmets take some departures from the typical welding hood. Graphically, both of the designs are exciting, but we are particularly happy to be offering a design that celebrates patriotism."

MATHESON will be introducing these new helmets at FABTECH Expo in Atlanta, November 11-13, 2014, in Booth C2413.
