Some people are careless when it comes to the helmet. As long as the features are cool, they don’t care about the load. But most welders prefer lightweight helmet so they can work without feeling the added pressure on their heads.
So, we found ESAB Sentinel A50 heavier in contrast with Speeglass 9100XXi. It weighs 1.4 pounds (640 gram), which could be a bit weighty. But after wearing this helmet, we didn’t feel any heaviness.
On inspection, we learned that the credit goes to the five contact points (we talked about it previously) that divides load into five different places.
Nevertheless, Speedglas 9100XXi weighs only 1 pound. Still not an ideal weight but lower than Sentinel A50.
