What we like about the Speedglas 9100xx

  • This helmet can be used in a range of industries including the automotive, food and beverage, construction, fabrication, mining and other industries.
  • It protects the eyes and face from sparks and spatter, visible light, infra-red radiation and ultra-violet radiation.
  • There are user selectable dark shades 5, 8-13 and a lighter shade of 3.
  • There is an entire series of helmets under the 9100 umbrella, and of the helmets in this series, the 9100xx offers the largest available viewing area of 2.8 inches high by 4.2 inches wide.

As much as there are so many attributes that we liked about the Speedglas 9100xx, there is one thing that we did not like. That was the fact that there has been a customer complaint that the helmet let radiation through at times. The result of this is damage to the eyes which can be long term, leading to eventual blindness.
