Optrel Crystal PAPR + Clearmaxx Grinding Shield
If you are reading this, then you probably already know about the worlds best welding lens. You know, the one made in Switzerland with multiple records, that one. You also probably know that pulling dark stuff out of your nose at the end of the day is no good, and that a good PAPR set up will make that go away. You may also have been saying to yourself, one day I will get one, or maybe there will be a sale in the future.
WELL TODAY THERE IS A SALE!
Not only will you get the fresh air hood with the lens you've been dreaming about, but you will also get an air fed, positive pressure grinding shield for when you are taking on other metalworking jobs and want to see clearly. The Optrel Clearmaxx is perfect for those that want a flip front window for grinding, but don't want to carry the excess weight associated with the big 3M flip front set ups.
You will also receive a free headgear upgrade that ensures a more comfortable fit, a parking buddy that gives you somewhere to hang your helmet without removing the breathing hose, and carrying bag to store it in.
The Optrel PAPR blower unit has three different speeds of air flow, the best battery life in the business (18 hours), and has budget friendly filters for all types of protection.
What Is in the Fresh Air Combo:
For those that haven't heard about the Optrel Crystal Lens Technology (CLT), here are the things that make it Weldready's pick for the best lens in the business.
Autopilot Lens Control
Optrel still holds a patent on it's autopilot feature, meaning you can't get this anywhere else. On the majority of auto darkening welding helmets, you set a desired shade level in the dark state, say 12 or 13, and then when you strike an arc the lens darkens to that level and stays there no matter how dark or bright it is. With autopilot, you don't need to guess which shade level is correct; the ADF will adjust its shade level by the millisecond to let the perfect amount of light in. This is an absolute game changer for TIG welders as the lens will stay perfectly in synch as you work your foot pedal changing the amperage. Once you experience autopilot, you won't be able to go back to guessing the shade level and seeing spots after getting it wrong or experiencing a flare up. If you find the default settings to be too dark or light, you can adjust this in 0.1 increments up to +/- 2 full shade levels using external knob controls. No need to remove your lid to change settings. If it turns out you don't like autopilot and want to do it the old way, you can...But you won't!
Twilight Mode, Incremental Return to Light State
Most helmets can adjust how quickly or slowly the ADF returns to the light state when you are done welding, but have you ever considered how smoothly the lens returns to the light state? With the twilight feature, the lens transitions from dark to light state in a natural and smooth manor which reduces strain on your eyes. If you ever find yourself feeling like your vision is a bit off after a long day of welding, you will appreciate the benefits of twilight mode.
World Record Color Clarity
The patented Swiss lens technology (yes, these helmets are made in Switzerland), achieves an industry best 92% color range meaning you can see 92% of the colors in existence. To legally be allowed to advertise as having true color technology, you only need to view 51% of colors. You will have an exceptionally high contrast view of the welding pool, which makes a particularly large difference to TIG welders that really need to see what's going on around the arc.
