Optrel Panoramaxx Showdown (2.5 vs CLT vs Quattro) 

Say goodbye to obstructed vision and hello to a clear, panoramic welding experience with the Panoramaxx series from optrel. Identifying what welders want, and then building a product that speaks to those pain points is where optrel began their design process. Redesigning the conventional welding helmet, with everyday welding professionals at the front of the innovation process, resulted in a clear-view helmet like no other.   

Instead of settling on a generic helmet and accepting compromises, the Panoramaxx series focuses on individuality. With three models geared toward providing welders with the best seam every time, these helmets help you achieve perfection.

Similarities Across the Panoramaxx Series 

What’s the first thing that puts the Panoramaxx series apart from the rest? The massive field of view. It’s not 1, not 2, but 6 times bigger than standard welding helmets. This viewing window allows you to weld more confidently than ever before.   

In the redesign, optrel removed conventional characteristics and created a nose cutout to enhance comfort and reduce lens fog. These benefits all come without the cost of adding extra pounds, still weighing in under the industry standard – a weight off your neck and shoulders, literally. 

All the Panoramaxx helmets provide you with a clear view of true colors. Optrel’s Shadetronic sensors detect changes in light intensity and adjust the shade level accordingly to provide the perfect level of protection, fully automatically. To make the best even better, this pairs with FadeTronic technology to fade out any unpleasant afterglow. 

Each helmet comes with a 3-year warranty and provides 1,000 hours of use with a single charge, so you can stay focused on the task at hand. There are currently 3 different Panoramaxx helmets, each tailored for specific needs, find out which one will transform your welding experience
