Westward 44R231 Auto-Darkening Helmet
The Westward 44R231 is an auto-darkening welding helmet finished in gray nylon. It provides eye and face protection during welding tasks with a digital auto-darkening filter. The unit includes a CR2450 lithium-ion battery rated for 2,000 hours of life and comes with an extra front cover lens. A low battery alarm and test button are integrated for operational checks.
Suited for welders needing variable shade
This helmet suits welders who require adjustable shade ranges of 5-8 and 8-13 for different processes. The grind mode allows use for grinding without removing the headgear. Five-point adjustable headgear with a removable sweatband supports extended wear. Buyers who need a fixed-shade passive lens or a wider viewing area than the standard classification provides should look at other models.
EN379 1/1/1/2 optical classification
The auto-darkening filter meets EN379 classification 1/1/1/2, indicating high optical clarity and consistent light diffusion. This rating confirms the lens quality for precision welding work where uniform shading matters. Digital controls manage the shade transitions within the stated ranges. The helmet width measures 26 cm and includes the compatible Westward suspension system.
