Lincoln Electric Introduces the Chip Foose-Designed Vista Hemisfear Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet
Legendary Car Designer Models Helmet After His 500-HP Hemisfear Hot Rod
Lincoln Electric has teamed up with Chip Foose - award-winning custom
car designer and die-hard Lincoln Electric enthusiast - to introduce
Vista(R) Hemisfear(TM), an auto-darkening welding helmet inspired by
Foose's 500-HP Hemisfear hot rod.
The latest edition to
Lincoln's Vista(R) series of welding helmets, the Hemisfear welding
helmet captures the essence of Foose's limited production hot rod, a
classic car that gave Foose one of his initial claims to fame in 2006.
The helmet features the hot rod's three distinct colors: neon green,
black and orange with a custom silver stripe on the side. Other
embellishments to the helmet include Chip Foose's signature and the
Foose Design(TM) logo.
The
Vista Hemisfear is the company's first using a new lightweight shell
design, bringing the total helmet weight to 20 oz. or less depending on
configuration. All Vista helmets feature:
Solar powered auto-darkening, eliminating operator error and alkaline corrosion
Grind and TIG modes, as well as variable delay settings for greater operator control
Four independent arc sensors to ensure reliability
Different view sizes for user preferences, including the 3000 series, with one of the largest views in the industry
The
complete series of Vista helmets also include various colors and hot
graphic designs, including textured black, Patriot, NASCAR(R) Heavy
Metal(TM), Red Rod(TM) and SurfRod(TM). Every helmet includes a
Personal-Pak(TM) with a soft helmet bag with zip-up pocket, a graphic
Lincoln bandana and an owner I.D. label.
Lincoln Electric's complete line of Vista auto-darkening helmets are available at a local welding distributor. Or visit
