3M™ Speedglas™ G5-03 Pro Welding Helmet with G5-01/03VC Filter – 631830

The 3M™ Speedglas™ G5-03 Pro is a lightweight flip-up welding helmet supplied here complete with the G5-01/03VC variable-colour auto-darkening filter (ADF).

Designed for heavy-duty, high-amperage welding and grinding, it pairs a large auto-darkening lens with a flip-up clear grinding visor and side windows for a wide field of view.
