ESAB Welding & Cutting Products announces the launch of a new line of Personal Protection Equipment. Designed to combine the best safety protection with the greatest comfort, ESAB's new Weld Warrior line uses the industry's latest protective technology to allow welders to work in confidence and safety. The line includes:

New-Tech™ ADC Plus auto-darkening reactive welding helmets. These helmets are lightweight and well balanced, and offer a wide viewing area, giving the welder a feeling of increased space awareness. The head gear can be set to fit each individual user for maximum comfort. The helmet shell is designed to provide maximum protection for the face, neck and ears, while providing a large area in front of the mouth to ensure a good flow of air and low levels of carbon dioxide. Powered by solar cells, New-Tech ADC Plus helmets feature "Angular Dependence Compensation" (ADC) technology that ensures a solid shade level covers the full width and height of the LCD screen, even when viewing the lens at an angle.

OrigoTM-Tech 9-13 helmets. These stylish high-tech helmets are available in two high-gloss colors, yellow or black. The helmet features ESAB Comfort Headgear and a lightweight shell that provides superior face, head, ear and neck protection, for welding in all positions.

Globe-Arc helmets. The Globe-Arc helmet has been designed to provide ideal protection for all kinds of metalworking. Featuring a unique flip-front design, the visor provides effective protection from UV and IR radiation when the visor is both open and closed. This multi-purpose helmet can be used for MIG, TIG and Stick welding, grinding, gas cutting and plasma cutting.

Safety Glasses and Goggles. Stylish safety glasses used for drilling, chipping and metalworking feature a sporty style, are soft to the touch, and have a lightweight wraparound, including a neck cord. They are extremely flexible and durable, and are available in four different lens configurations. All lens configurations provide protection against dangerous UV radiation.

Protective Clothing. ESAB protective clothing is designed for maximum comfort and safety. The line includes leather jackets made with flame retardant Proban material on the front and back; Proban/leather trousers, coveralls and a welding apron. Flame-resistant head protection covers the head, neck, and shoulders and includes an insulated helmet liner.

Welding Gloves. All ESAB gloves offer high resistance to heat and additional protection against spatter. The new curved MIG glove offers a new approach to fit, form and function. Ergonomically designed to fit the natural curve of the hand, this comfortable glove is made from heavy and fine cut leather, and is lined from hand to cuff. A flexible wrist area reduces friction.

With more than 100 years of experience, ESAB Welding & Cutting Products is one of the world's largest and most knowledgeable manufacturers of welding and cutting equipment and welding filler metals.
