Welding Helmets, Goggles and Lenses

The Portwest PW60 Gas Welding Goggles have a shade 5 filter and a flip-up front for tasks requiring this level of welding eye protection. A flexible PVC frame, indirect ventilation and adjustable elastic headband help the wearer achieve a stable fit. The lens has an anti-scratch treatment, and Portwest lists EN 166 1 F, EN 169 shade 5 and EN 175 F. Choose eye and face protection for the specific process, light intensity and particle hazards. Shade 5 is not suitable for every welding task and must not be assumed sufficient for arc welding. Check the product markings, supplied instructions and fit before use, and replace damaged or heavily scratched lenses.

The Portwest PW65 BizWeld Plus Welding Helmet has an auto-darkening filter that changes from a DIN 4 light state to an adjustable DIN 9–13 dark state. An external control sets the dark shade, and a wheel-ratchet headband adjusts the fit. Solar cells and two built-in lithium batteries provide power. Select the filter setting and protective equipment for the welding process and its operating conditions. Portwest states that the helmet can be worn with disposable respirators, but it does not itself provide respiratory protection. Welding-fume controls and suitable RPE require a separate assessment. Check the helmet, filter operation, lenses and fit before use, and follow the supplied operating and maintenance instructions.

Portwest PW66 BizWeld Plus Replacement Lenses are clear outer cover lenses for the PW65 welding helmet. This pack contains five lenses, each measuring 114 × 90mm. They are maintenance parts for the helmet’s outer viewing area and must be installed in accordance with the PW65 instructions. A cover lens is different from the helmet’s auto-darkening filter and does not provide the selectable welding shade by itself. Check the helmet model and required part before ordering, and replace damaged or heavily scratched covers when visibility is affected. Inspect the complete helmet and filter before use; fitting a new cover does not resolve damage or a fault elsewhere in the equipment.

The Portwest PW68 Welding Safety Spectacles have a shade 5 panoramic lens with moulded brow and side protection. Extendable side arms allow the fit to be adjusted, and an anti-scratch coating helps protect the lens surface during normal handling. Portwest lists EN 166 1 F and EN 169 shade 5 for this model. Choose the filter shade and protection coverage for the specific welding or metalworking task. Shade 5 spectacles must not be assumed suitable for every welding process, particularly arc welding, or as a substitute for required face protection. Check fit, markings and compatibility with other PPE before use. Replace damaged eyewear or lenses that no longer provide a clear view.
