The Optrel Weldcap Bump is a lightweight auto-darkening welding cap that combines the comfort and flexibility of a welding cap with the added protection of an integrated EN 812/A1-certified bump cap. Unlike traditional welding helmets that only protect part of the head, the Weldcap Bump provides additional crown protection against minor impacts while maintaining a low-profile, lightweight design. It offers the mobility of a welding cap with a level of head protection closer to a conventional helmet. The removable flame-retardant textile section is washable and designed for long-term comfort in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, construction sites, and confined-space welding applications. Key Features Integrated Bump Cap Protection The defining feature of the Weldcap Bump is the built-in bump cap that helps protect the top of the head from minor impacts and accidental strikes while working around structures, equipment, and tight spaces. Benefits Added crown protection Improved stability compared to a standard welding cap Greater feeling of security during overhead work Maintains lightweight comfort Oversized Field of Vision The ergonomic nose-cutout design allows the lens to sit closer to the eyes, providing a significantly larger viewing area than traditional welding lenses. Visibility Advantages Up to 270% greater field of vision than standard welding lenses Improved peripheral awareness Better weld positioning accuracy Enhanced visibility in confined workspaces Auto-Darkening Lens The integrated welding filter automatically darkens when an arc is detected. Lens Specifications Light State: Shade 3 Welding Shade Range: Shade 9–12 Wide-angle arc detection sensor Automatic operation Continuous UV and IR protection Grinding Mode Built-in grinding mode allows users to switch from welding to grinding without changing headgear. Grinding Benefits Clear shade 3 viewing state Faster workflow transitions Improved visibility during preparation work Ideal for fabrication and finishing operations Flame-Resistant Textile Construction The textile components are manufactured from flame-retardant materials and can be removed for cleaning and replacement.

Warranty 2 Years Applications The Weldcap Bump is designed for: TIG Welding (GTAW) MIG/MAG Welding (GMAW) Stick Welding (SMAW) Flux-Cored Welding Plasma Arc Welding Micro-Plasma Welding Spot Welding Maintenance Welding Structural Fabrication Pipe Welding Confined Space Welding Grinding Applications Benefits Increased Head Protection The integrated bump cap helps protect against minor impacts while maintaining the comfort and flexibility that Weldcap users prefer. Lightweight Comfort At approximately 400 grams, the Weldcap Bump remains significantly lighter than many traditional welding helmets, reducing neck and shoulder fatigue. Ideal for Tight Spaces The low-profile design allows users to work in areas where traditional welding helmets may be cumbersome or restrictive. Easy Maintenance The textile components can be removed and washed, helping maintain cleanliness and extend service life.
