Have to say this head gear looks super complicated and appreciate this vido breaking it down! I have a Speedglas hood and the head gear doesn't fit A1. Hope to try this setup on an Optrel sometime soon! Great video though. Love the pov shot to even help for the visual learners out there 😉 not a bunch of technical jargon. 🙏💯
We're glad you like the video and hope it demystifies the Swiss Air for you. The system itself isn't complicated but totally understand that PAPRs can appear complicated. If your local distributor doesn't have one in stock for you to try on, request that they get one. We also have a 2-day trial you can take advantage of. Check it out here: optrel.us/product/swiss-air-free-trial/
@@OptrelUS Wow! Thank you for the fast reply! Never expected anyone to get back so fast from such a large professional company. Speaks volumes that you guys care about the customer and supplying their needs and wants! Definitely hope to win the giveaway to have one for myself. I tried out my weld instructor's hood (Optrel Crystal 2.0) and was by far the clearest view with any hood for performing tig welding. Thanks again for the fast reply and leaving me feel valued! 🙏💯💯
Neat! Thanks for the video. I have two hoods….one at work, one at school. I need to get one for me to use at home now that I was able to finally FINALLY purchase my own welder. We might possibly will have to eat Ramen for the next year but I will be able to help some local farmers. Anywho, I will go check out the specs and weight and such.
Drew - thanks for your comment. One of the best ways to get Optrel products in stock is to ask your distributor to carry them. Where are you located, I can see if there's an Optrel distributor near you.
You missed the part that determines how close the adf suits to your eyes. That little green knob that slides back and forth. You touched it right at or right after 3:00 Also I was wondering what those light gray zip tie head looking things are. Two sets of two on one side and the other.
Hi Eric - thanks for your question. The best way to clean your optrel hood is with a soft cloth. Avoid strong cleaning agents, solvents, alcohol or anything containing an abrasive. If the ADF is dirty you can use a lens cleaner or wipe - something suitable for optics. If your lens is scratched or damaged, that should be replaced.
So is there a purpose for those 2 sets of vertical fins on the back of the headgear? Every time someone takes a good look at my hood, they ask about that and I cannot figure out what it's for if anything
Just got a panorama clt... You cannot make the sides of the headhear feet "deeper" over the top of hear head. HUGE DESIGN MISTAKE for a hood that msrp's for almost $700. Every other headgear available allows you to adjust this. I'm having to buy a second headgear to keep the hood from easily coming off my head when opening the hood.
How do I keep the knows from loosening, I set the tension and then after opening and closing 2-3 times it's loose. I had a same knows on my vegaview but I've never had this problem with it.
I just bought the Panoramaxx CLT and tinkered with the ISOFIT for what seems like forever. It just doesn't work for me, going to have to shell out more money for the standard headgear.
Im a mountain biker and a welder. This isofit headgear makes me feel like im welding with my bike helmet on. Its actually more comfortable!
Great video, thanks Jeff! My customers absolutely love the IsoFit - the comfort just blows people away!
That's awesome! Thanks for taking the time to let us know!
Thanks Jeff for the info and conformation on how to properly adjust the IsoFit System

So glad you guys came out with headgear changes. These fit amazing and I use them on all my hoods, even my lincoln and pipeliner
I was in the market for a new hood and seeing this was helpful thank you and nice quality videos
By far best hood I’ve ever used! Would love one I could use at home
Love your hoods hoping to upgrade soon
This looks awesome and comfortable... definetly need to get one
Great video, looks like I will be upgrading soon at the shop.
Most comfortable headwear out there
Glad I found this before installing mine !! Never knew how adjustable it is!!

Wish local supply house would stock these even just a display model so I could try the head gear and see the diff between the pano and Crystal 2.0

Nice video. Good info.
Best headgear ever, use it on my Crystal 2.0.
You missed the part that determines how close the adf suits to your eyes. That little green knob that slides back and forth. You touched it right at or right after 3:00
Also I was wondering what those light gray zip tie head looking things are. Two sets of two on one side and the other.
Pretty sweet idea. Curious how it holds up to abuse in the field.
the best head gear ever !
Fantastic video!
Just wish it would stay up when raised. My Helix CLT also doesn't cover my neck from getting burned.
How to clean a optrel hood properly? What to use ,cleaners and such

Best welding helmet I've ever used!
Awesome!
Good video I like mine!

and this can be installed on other welding helmets? I meant besides optrel?
Looks cool
Very nice.

The headgear is very comfortable but the padding seems to fall off quickly.
Here for the guveaway

Hi Brandon, we have a position locker coming out shortly that will eliminate this problem.
@@OptrelUShave you introduced the position locker?
I just bought the Panoramaxx CLT and tinkered with the ISOFIT for what seems like forever. It just doesn't work for me, going to have to shell out more money for the standard headgear.
We can help - contact us at info_us@optrel.com. Thanks.
@Optrel US
I bought the standard headgear now my helmet is usable.
Thank you,
Steve
