Heavy-duty helmets, though providing all around protection from sparks and spatter, are usually not lightweight. Long periods of welding will cause strain on the shoulders and the neck; therefore, the helmet must have evenly distributed weight on it. The objective is to create a comfortable and adjustable and heavy-duty welding gear.
The Huxley Helmet provides its user with maximum protection from the extreme temperatures of welding that may well exceed 1,200 degrees F. The product will also have a natural insulation system that prevents the user from feelng uncomfortable heat inside the helmet. Included in the helmet is an air filtration system to avoid inhaling harmful fumes during the process. The Huxley Helmet is a practical and functional welding gear without compromising its aesthetic form and structure.
