ESAB, a world leader in the welding industry, have created some of the most renowned welding machines and filler metals. When developing the ESAB range of welding masks, ESAB have inputted all of this welding know-how with key features designed to work hand in hands with the welder.
ESAB provides two specific types of welding helmets:
ESAB air fed welding masks: ESAB air fed welding masks are part of the “WeCare” products range of safety equipment. They offer respiratory protection made to work with the welder – not against them – to reduce exposure to harmful welding fumes and to protect the welder against lung cancer for example. The aim of these welding helmets is to provide filtered air to the welder whilst protecting them against the welding arc and sparks during the welding process.
ESAB auto darkening welding masks: The ESAB auto darkening welding helmets are constructed with an auto darkening filter to protect the eyes of the welder against excessive light generated by the welding process. They are composed of a large viewing area that enables the welder to have a clear view of the weld while being protected against sparks.
These two specific types of ESAB welding masks are broken down into various ranges to cater for every welding, cutting and grinding application, whether you are a heavy industrial welder or a hobbyist welder.
Here is a short guide to the range of ESAB welding masks:
ESAB Swam A20: The ESAB Swarm series with the ESAB Swarn A20 welding mask is a budget friendly auto darkening welding helmets. With a streamlined shell design and 1/1/1/2 CE optical clarity, you can have a reliable welding helmet from a leading welding manufacturer for under £60.
ESAB G series: The ESAB G series with the G30, G40 and G50, that can all be found either in air fed or non air fed, are more sophisticated welding masks but still at an affordable price. The specifics of this welding mask series is the flip front and grinding mode design. These helmets are the perfect welding helmets for welding and grinding throughout the working day as the units have a large inner grinding visor.
ESAB Savage A41 & A50: The ESAB Savage series are more professional welding helmets with the latest Auto-Darkening Filters from ESAB which has been developed with 4 arc sensors and a high clarity view with true colour technology. Both the ESAB Savage A41 and A50 LUX are built with a high tech lightweight shell to protect from heat, sparks and spatter. The Savage A41 offers a wide coverage and a large viewing area of 100 x 50 mm (3.93 x 1.96 in.) for a wide field of vision and increased spatial awareness. The Savage A50 Lux offers a brighter view with an advanced LED work-light integrated behind the moulded front cover lens with dedicated arc sensor and power supply.
ESAB Sentinel A60: The ESAB Sentinel A60 helmet is the most developed and highly enhanced helmets created by ESAB. With perfect 1/1/1/1 EN optical clarity and a huge panoramic view it's one of the best viewing areas you can find on the market. The ESAB Sentinel A60 is one of the best helmets on the market and caters for all welding and cutting applications with an external grind mode button for easy activation. 3/5–13 shade range adjustable in half-value digital increments to fine-tune your view.

While working with an ESAB welding machine such as ESAB MIG Welders, ESAB TIG Welders or even ESAB plasma cutting machines, your ESAB welding helmet is a vital piece of equipment to keep you safe. By perfecting the design, the usability and the comfort of their welding helmet portfolio, ESAB have created the perfect range to cater for all welders, from premium air fed welding helmets to budget friendly auto darkening masks.
ESAB auto darkening welding helmets stand out by the quality of their designs, the next generation technology they are made of and the durability of build.
One of the technologies that can be found on the ESAB welding helmets is the UI Button to change the settings of the shade, delays and sensitivity of the Auto Darkening Filter (ADF). This is a good example of user friendly features added to welding helmets to assist the use of the mask by the welder.
On the more premium models, like the ESAB Sentinel A60 you can find technologies like ESAB OpTCSTrue Colour Lens to reduce eye fatigue for the most demanding days on the job and enhanced colour definition. With this technology, you can set how long the lens stays dark after the welding arc stops and add a longer delay for specific types of welding. It's the ideal functionality for people who are welding low amp tig for instance or with tack welding.
Another key feature of the ESAB Air fed welding helmets is the EPRX1.1 PAPR that is suitable for all ESAB air fed welding masks and that is TH3 level particle protection certified.
Most of the welding process are suitable for the ESAB welding helmets. MIG Welding, TIG Welding, MMA / Stick / ARC Welding and even plasma cutting are suitable when using an ESAB welding mask.
In certain welding applications, local exhaust ventilation (LEV) is recommended for added protection against hazardous fumes and particles. For these environments, Air fed welding helmets with proper EPRX1.1 PAPR is vital and can be used as well as LEV to supply clean air to the welder but also remove fumes at source.
Alongside with your ESAB Welding helmet, you’ll need to use other welding PPE. Depending on your project you might need to use specific gloves such as MIG Welding gloves or TIG Welding Gloves. You can find other safety PPE from ESAB in stock on our website such as Welders jackets or Welders trousers.
And if you have specific needs for the fume extraction, you can also find ESAB Fume extractors in stock on our website.
Thanks to our close relationship with ESAB we have lots of ESAB welding helmets in stock on our website. Our selection of ESAB auto darkening welding helmets spares too if you need spare lenses, sweatbands, or filters for your ESAB PAPR unit. All available in stock for next day delivery.
