The 3M™ Speedglas™ Welding Helmet Series 9100 includes six welding helmet models offering many options, including flip-up welding shields, safety helmets, and respiratory systems. And with the 9100 headband, we’ve carefully avoided sensitive areas of the head while designing self-adjusting pads and forehead bands. By better contouring it around your head, our headband doesn’t need to be overly tight to be comfortably secure. If you haven’t experienced these innovations in welding protection, call your local 3M distributor for a hands-on demonstration.
