Product Information

Full details

The Loops Gas Welding Goggles are designed for professional welders and metalworkers who require versatile, dual-mode eye protection during gas welding and brazing tasks. These goggles offer the key benefit of a convenient flip-up lens system that allows you to switch between clear safety viewing and shade 5 darkening without removing the eyewear; however, users should note that they are specifically rated for gas welding and are not suitable for high-amperage arc welding applications.

FAQs

Can I use these for TIG or MIG welding?

No. These goggles are intended for gas welding and cutting. They do not provide the necessary protection for the high intensity light produced by TIG or MIG arc welding.

Are the lenses replaceable?

The goggles are designed as a complete unit. If the lenses are deeply scratched or damaged, the entire goggle unit should be replaced to ensure continued safety.

What is the weight of these goggles?

The Loops Gas Welding Goggles have a net weight of 0.14kg.

Do these meet specific safety standards?

Yes, they conform to BS EN 175 standards for eye and face protection during welding.

Are the lenses glass or plastic?

They feature clear polycarbonate safety lenses, which are chosen for their high impact resistance compared to standard glass.

Can I wear these over my spectacles?

While the frame is designed for a close facial fit, it may not accommodate all sizes of prescription glasses. Check the fitment carefully before starting work.

Troubleshooting

Lenses are fogging up during use

Ensure the indirect ventilation ports are not blocked by debris and check that the headband is adjusted to allow a slight gap for airflow if necessary.

Flip-up mechanism feels loose

Inspect the pivot points on the side of the goggles and ensure they are free from metal dust or obstructions that may be preventing a tight closure.

Discomfort during long-term wear

Loosen the head strap slightly and check that the frame padding is sitting evenly across the bridge of the nose and the cheekbones.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Convenient flip-up shade 5 lens for quick transitions
  • Lightweight construction prevents facial fatigue
  • Indirect ventilation system minimizes fogging
  • Clear primary lens offers impact resistance when not welding
  • Compliant with BS EN 175 safety standards

Cons

  • Not suitable for high-amperage arc welding
  • Shade 5 lens is fixed and cannot be changed for higher light intensity
  • Standard frame design may not fit comfortably over all prescription glasses

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure proper fit, adjust the elastic head strap so the goggles sit snugly against your face without causing pressure points. Ensure that the seal is complete to prevent debris from entering the sides.

Care Instructions:

  • Clean lenses regularly with mild soapy water or a dedicated lens cleaner.
  • Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cloths that may scratch the polycarbonate surface.
  • Store the goggles in a clean, dry case when not in use to protect the shade 5 filter from accidental scratches or damage.
  • Inspect the frame and strap periodically for signs of wear or degradation due to heat exposure.
