Speedglas Helmet Logo

The 3M™ Speedglas™ G5-03 TW Pro Air Welding Helmet with the Heavy Duty Adflo respirator offers welders powerful protection against welding fume. The G5-03 TW Pro Air features precision True-View optics enhanced by an extra-bright shade 2.5 light state, new-to-world TAP technology for easy switching between settings and an extra large 71x108mm viewing area with SideWindows. An intuitive helmet duct system provides fresh, filtered air for all day welding, while an optional task light, head and neck covers are available to maximise your comfort.

Quality Swedish Welding Technology

Speedglas helmets are crafted in Sweden, and every lens is thoroughly inspected upon completion.

Protection Against Carcinogenic Welding Fume

An innovative face seal carefully follows the contours of both your face and the welding helmet, creating a positive pressure seal to keep pollutants at bay. For even distribution of air throughout the helmet, an exclusive airflow pattern delivers filtered air to the breathing zone.

New TAP Technology

World's first welding helmet TAP Technology allows welders to easily switch between weld, grind and cut mode by tapping the exterior of their Speedglas welding helmet. Simple switching means welders can keep their helmet on, maintaining their eye, respiratory, and face protection.

Clearest Speedglas Welding Lens

New extra light shade of 2.5 enhances True-View technology, giving super crisp vision during set-up, inspection and grinding. The G5-03TW lens provides exceptional clarity, greater control over your arc and more realistic views of your weld pool.

Massive Viewing Area with SideWindows

Experience crisp vision through a huge 71x108 mm welding lens viewing area, offering an even more expansive view of the weld pool. Paired with Speedglas SideWindows, welders can benefit from increased peripheral vision through one of the largest viewing areas on the market.

Airflow Climate Control

Effortlessly control the airflow inside your helmet with an innovative helmet duct system. Adjust the amount and direction of airflow within the helmet for optimal comfort. All adjustments can be made while keeping your helmet in place - maintaining your respiratory, face, and eye protection.

Bluetooth® Lens Technology

With the new Bluetooth® lens technology, you can adjust your welding lens settings right from the palm of your hand. Welders can change dark shades and program pre-set memory modes using the 3M Connected Equipment app.

Market-Leading Head Harness

Designed for maximum comfort and a tailored fit, the Speedglas G5-03 Pro Air features the same advanced head harness as the G5-01. With various adjustment points, dual comfort paddles, optimal weight distribution, and an additional comfort pad, welders can achieve their ideal fit.

Versatile Welding Lens for Multiple Applications

Suitable for all common welding applications including MIG/MAG, MMAW, and TIG welding. With a light shade 2.5, shade 5 for cutting and welding dark shades 8-13, the G5-03 TW lens also features TAP functionality for seamless switching.

Advanced True-View Lens

Speedglas True-View welding lens offers unparalleled welding vision, now with an extra light shade of 2.5 for even greater clarity.

Powerful Welding Arc Sensors

The G5-03 TW welding lens is capable of sensing a welding arc as low as 1 amp and offers reliable light-dark switching. Auto-On technology ensures the welding helmet is ready to go as soon as you pick it up, maintaining your last used lens settings.

Welding Light for Increased Vision

Welders requiring greater vision in dark environments can benefit from an optional welding task light, to cast a wide light on the workpiece. Powered by the Adflo respirator battery, the Speedglas welding light features adjustable light intensity and even light distribution at a normal welding distance.

Customise your Welding Coverage

Customise your welding equipment to suit your environment, with the range of additional head and neck protectors. Available in fabric or leather for hard-wearing environments, welders can benefit from extended coverage and protection against welding splatter and sparks.

Compliant with Australian & New Zealand Standards

Compliant with Australian & New Zealand Standards for eye protection (AS/NZS1338.1), respiratory protection (AS/NZS1716) and high impact face protection (AS/NZS1337.1).

The Heavy Duty Adflo Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR)

One Hour Rapid Charge Battery with Long Life

The new Adflo heavy-duty lithium-ion battery has a run time of about 12-14 hours (depending on conditions) and charges from 0-80% of its full capacity in approximately one hour. This long-life battery extends the run-time of the Adflo PAPR by around 4 hours over the standard systems.

Market Leading Welding PAPR

Used by welders all over the world, the Adflo PAPR system leads the industry in providing comfortable welding protection all day long. Designed to meet the specific demands of welders, Adflo is synonymous with welding respiratory protection.

Required Minimum Protection Factor (RMPF)

The Adflo respirator meets the Australian and New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 1716 for powered air respirators and provides a Required Minimum Protection Factor (RMPF) of 50 against mechanically and thermally generated particles.

Filtered Air Where You Need it Most

Clean, filtered air is delivered directly to the welder's breathing zone via a unique helmet airflow pattern. A diffuser evenly distributes air through the helmet.

Mobile Welding PAPR

The slim, lightweight Adflo powered air respirator is belt-mounted, for effective mobile respiratory protection. The weight of the system has recently been reduced by a further 15%.

Robust Protection From Particulates, Gases & Fumes

The Adflo PAPR is synonymous with welders respiratory protection, with the system protecting welders against both particulates and gases - with the right type of respiratory filter. Maintaining your respirator is also made simple, with indicators to assist in knowing when to charge the battery or change the Adflo filters.

Quick Release Breathing Tube

A self-adjusting breathing tube prevents snagging on sharp objects by ensuring the hose stays close to the wearer's body. The quick-release swivel allows for simple, one-handed connection and release.

Flow Rate Adjustments for Hot Environments

The intelligent respirator unit maintains a constant 170-litre-per-minute nominal airflow rate, regardless of the filter loading or battery level. Users also have the option of increasing the airflow to 200 litres per minute when working in hot, humid environments.

    Speedglas G5-03 Pro Series Brochure

    The Speedglas G5-03 Welding Helmet Series is built for professional welders and includes both respiratory and non-respiratory helmets with a suite of signature Speedglas features alongside never-before-seen welding lens technology. While the Speedglas G5-03 Pro & Pro Air are fixed front welding helmets, their all-new TAP functionality, TrueView optics, and optional task light can combine to optimise the helmets for grinding. From there, the expansive welding lens, peripheral SideWindows, and elite optical quality can offer a view like no other fixed-front helmet on the market. If you’ve been waiting to step-up to 3M Speedglas welding helmet technology – now is the time!

Eli
No green tinge through the lens, definitely the clearest I’ve seen my welds. I use the tap for grinding and it’s a great feature, means the helmet can be lighter with no flip-up visor.
Stewart
Bought this last year and now near everyone at work has made the change. Super easy switching with the tap function, the usual optical quality and top class Adflo respiratory protection.
Carl
Best PAPR I’ve used with no close second. Love the brighter light state, the airflow control dials, and of course breathing clean air all day. You can pre-set your most used lens settings to save time too, would recommend.
