Every year, the ISHN magazine recognizes the most innovative personal protection equipment and occupational health and safety products. Thousands of ISHN subscribers voted for their favorite safety equipment suppliers and this year, optrel’s new flagship product, the crystal2.0 has won best head protection in the welding helmet segment.  optrel, a leading manufacturer of active eye protection products, introduced the new crystal2.0 welding helmet with Crystal 2.0 Lens Technology (CLT2.0) — representing a quantum leap forward in optical clarity for welders before, during, and after welding. The new flagship optrel crystal2.0 welding helmet delivers 31% visible light transmission in its light state (Protection Level 2.0) — setting a new world record for best brightness and breaking the record optrel itself set three years ago. The crystal2.0’s true color perception is industry-leading, delivering a nearly-perfect color spectrum that provides unsurpassed optical clarity for welders of their work and job site. In its light state, the view is the same as looking through a clear glass window. In its Dark State, the crystal2.0 provides a high-contrast view of the welding pool and best-in-class clearness. The crystal2.0 welding helmet features a host of innovative technologies that make welding both safer and more productive and can be easily integrated with optrel’s e3000 PAPR Respiratory Protection System.
