Got a question?
Do any of your welding helmets offer a setting comparable to Miller’s “X-mode” for use outdoors in direct sunlight?
We do not offer an “X-mode” feature like Miller, but what many of our styles do have is a sensor slide. This allows the user to reduce the exposure of sunlight to the sensors. Then, you can adjust the sensitivity down and this has proven to be very effective in direct sunlight.
Has the head gear been updated recently ? It would appear the helmet has all the tech and the headgear has been left behind. What a shame & oversight. You can do better Optrel.
Hi Wayne,
Our Panoramaxx CLT helmet includes our new IsoFit headgear, released in October 2020 and designed with customization and comfort in mind. You may find more information on our IsoFit here: https://optrel.us/product/isofit-headgear-green-knobs/. We would love to hear your additional feedback about this headgear!
How do I get a shade 4 or 5 and can I use it for oxyacetylene welding?
if the battery fails its possible to chenge it?
We have the ability to change out batteries but do not recommend field replacement.
How much is the cost to have the battery replaced? Is that something I can have done locally or does it need sent to Optrel?
The cost for battery replacement is $40 and it must be done by us. You can contact us at 401-398-7240 to make arrangements. The process is simple, we will send you a shipping label, once received we will replace the battery, clean the unit, replace the cover lenses and headbands.
Hi optrel, I was wondering how your helmets fit while wearing safety glasses u derneath as they seem to go up on the bridge of your nose. Do the safety glasses interfere with the inside lens at all?
The CLT will work with safety glasses but depending on the size of the glasses you may need to telescope the headgear a but further from the lens. In addition we have a tilt adjustment on the side of the hood that will allow you to get the ideal angle for viewing through your lens with glasses on.
Can you add cheater lenses to Panoramaxx hoods?
Yes, you can add cheaters to all our panoramaxx hoods. If you go to the product page (https://optrel.us/product/panoramaxx-2-5/) for any of our panoramaxx hoods and scroll down you will find all accessories, including mag lenses.
what is the difference between the other models?
i have the 2.5 and its not exactly true color its pretty much green is this actually true color?
does it still darken out when a forklift is nearby?
The CLT offers the largest color spectrum of any hood on the market. This translates to truly true color viewing. The panoramaxx 2.5 and quattro will favor a slightly greenish hue but colors are still distinguishable allowing you to see red as red, blue as blue, etc…
panoramaxx helmets are compatible with 3m 6000 and 7000 series reusable respirators

I own 3 of the original Panaoramaxx because I like the helmet so much that I wanted one for everywhere I work. I was super excited for this as an upgrade as I love the original crystal 2.0 but didn’t like the exterior controls, and love the usb charging. I absolutely love the lens, sensors, everything but I am very disappointed with the new iso headgear. If you bump the rear knob the cable system fully disengages and you lose all tension on your head and then are trying to get it to tension again and if you decide that you went one click to many again your left to the whole system coming loose again. The rear knob needs to work one click in either tightening the cable or loosening it. The ADF filter is epic but I just want decent headgear, like 3M Speedglas or heck even the nicer Lincoln or Miller stuff, the old headgear is as caveman as possible and this is so overthought its just not functional for the helmet coming on and off all day.

I recently purchased the CLT and love the hood. It’s clearer than any hood I’ve used before. It’s nice and light and doesn’t wear out my neck at all which is nice. However the new isofit headgear leaves much to be desired. It doesn’t fit down around my head hardly at all. That’s with it extended all the way. If I happen to adjust my position at all while welding it’ll fall right off. Now I did notice that if I crank it down incredibly tightly it won’t move. But I will also have a headache due to my skull being crushed. The adjustment knob for tightening and loosening is also not my favorite. If you want to loosen it just slightly you have to start at zero all over. That’s annoying and inconvenient. That being said those are literally the only 2 drawbacks I have. It’s a great hood and I’ll be purchasing the old style headgear to better fit my head.

I recently purchased the CLT and I love the hood as well. I too feel it is the best as far as clarity it’s crazy how they can do this. I personally love the isofit head gear! I thought I was not going to like it from reading other reviews but when I got to use it to my surprise it was very comfortable. I sometimes forget I have it on. I also thought being a female with long hair that my ponytail would have a problem with the isofit gear but not at all. I know people are also complaining about the controls up in the hood and charging port and how it’s hard to access them. Personally, for me I never need the charging port because I use the helmet. They say you only need to charge it every 6 month that’s if you are not using it much. As far as the settings I leave it on auto and its perfect no need to change anything. The only reason I gave it 4 star and not 5 was because of my view gets a little obstructed by the nose area sometimes. I adjusted the helmet so I could see close as possible to see past the nose area, but I still sometimes see that outline. Overall, the actual view is nice it’s pretty much what you see as far as view without it. It’s defiantly worth buying. You can read what everyone’s talking about but you need to see and feel it for yourself. Someone else’s issues about the helmet my not be your issues with it. Also, Optrel sales reps are so nice they want you to be happy and they will work with you to find what’s best for you.
