Tecmen TM1000 Flip Front PAPR Welding Helmet W/ V1 Pro Blower

Tecmen Flip Front PAPR Welding Helmet

Finally, a reasonably priced well built flip front PAPR welding helmet that offers best in class protection. This unit offers the same features as found on 3M helmets, only without the daunting price tag. Welders breath the cleanest air thanks to a P3 filter with 99.997% efficiency rating, and they get the best view of their work thanks to an optically perfect 1/1/1/1 ADF with large view grinding shield.

Consumables such as filters and lenses are a fraction of the price of other brands, which makes the total cost of ownership of the FreFlow PAPR system drastically more cost effective.

Comparing the TM1000 PAPR to the 3M G5-01:

• The lens on the TM1000 is larger and more clear than the G5-01
• The total helmet assembly is lighter on your head
• The air flow inside the hood is much more evenly dispersed on the Tecmen
  • The 3M design instead allows for some adjustment like fans in a car
  • Air flow rate is manually adjustable on the Tecmen, while it is strictly automatic with the 3M Adflo
• The headgear is about the same on both helmets, no major difference here, both are good!
• The overall build quality is incredible on both. Slight edge to 3M, but it results in a heavier bulkier unit that is less comfortable to wear
• Tecmen includes a fabric hose cover and shoulder harness for the blower
  • With 3M, these are expensive post-purchase add-ons
  • The G5-01 includes a carrying bag, the Tecmen does not
• The total cost of ownership of the Tecmen is less than half of the 3M
  • Up front purchase price is ~$1,000 less
  • Lenses and filters are half the price
