Lightweight and ergonomically designed, it features a rechargeable lithium-polymer battery with USB charging, eliminating the hassle of battery changes. Perfect for all electric arc welding processes, this helmet is the ultimate tool for professional welders seeking precision, comfort, and cutting-edge technology. ## Description The panorama view in connection with the 2.5 brightness level - as well as the detailed colour rendering - makes it possible for the welder to experience an entirely new visual dimension. Fully automated welding mask with extra-large field of vision: the nose cutout floats above the nose to position the auto-darkening filter closer to the welder's eyes. The Optrel Panoramaxx offers a 6 times larger field of view compared to standard welding helmets. True-Color filter protects at shade levels 2.5/5-12M with Autopilot (automatic shade selection), +/- 2 individual shade-preference adjustment, sensitivity control and opening delay with optional twilight function. Features a high-performance solar cell and a lithium-polymer energy pack that can be recharged with a USB- cable, the panoramaxx is fast becoming the energy-independent, maintenance-free welding helmet for professional users. Application ranges: Any electric arc welding process, Electrode Welding (Stick Welding, SMAW) / MIG / MAG (GMAW) / GMAW, High melting rate process / Flux Cored, Wire Welding / TIG welding (GTAW) / Plasma Arc Welding / Plasmacutting & Oxy-gas Welding. Review: The best welding helmet you can currently buy - The peripheral vision + crystal clear clarity this thing provides is unparalleled. Not as durable as other offerings out there, but for bench welding this thing is the best there is. I was still able to fit a 3m half mask respirator under this, despite how close the lens fits to your eyes. Really impressed with this thus far, very good sensitivity range. Big external button for grind mode, and a blinking blue light that you can see through the lense to let you know its on. Such impressive features. I could honestly not believe the level of clarity while welding, I feel like this alone has increased my tig welding skillset by allowing me to more clearly see the puddle. Do not drop or bang this thing up, it is somewhat fragile, other than that its incredible. Review: Great!!! - Not my first Optrel hood. Started using them 10 years ago and have yet to find another hood close to the clarity of Optrel. Absolutely love the warranty on them. I work mostly on heavy equipment, pile splices, and structural for major construction projects and still would not choose another. ## Features - Panorama field of vision offers a 6 times larger field of vision than standard welding helmets - and is still a lightweight at only 550 g. - True Color View - specially developed UV/IR filter allows the realistic color perception typical of optrel, bringing color to the welder's world. - Autopilot - Detection of the arc brightness and fully automated shade level adjustment from 5 to 12. * If preferred, the Autopilot can be deactivated for manual shade level selection. - Multi-sensor detection - The completely redesigned controls of the 5-sensor array ensure the perfect regulation of the auto-darkening filter. - State-of-the-Art power technology - With its rechargeable power-pack, changing batteries is no longer necessary. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07D2ZNW1H | | Best Sellers Rank | #244,563 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #343 in Welding Helmets | | Brand | Optrel | | Brand Name | Optrel | | Closure Type | Pull-On | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 88 Reviews | | Included Components | Bra | | Item Weight | 3 pounds | | Manufacturer | Optrel | | Manufacturer Part Number | 1010 | | Material | Plastic, Polycarbonate (PC) | | Material Type | Plastic, Polycarbonate (PC) | | Model Name | Panoramaxx | | Model Number | 1010 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Size | 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10+ | | Style | Modern | | Style Name | Modern | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | No Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Optrel - **Size:** 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10+ - **Style:** Modern - **Color:** Black - **Item Weight:** 3 Pounds ## Images ![Optrel Panoramaxx 2.5 Auto Darkening Welding Helmet Black #1010.000 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71s95qQx4vL.jpg) ![Optrel Panoramaxx 2.5 Auto Darkening Welding Helmet Black #1010.000 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51tWGbRGH3L.jpg) ![Optrel Panoramaxx 2.5 Auto Darkening Welding Helmet Black #1010.000 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71CCm1chINL.jpg) ![Optrel Panoramaxx 2.5 Auto Darkening Welding Helmet Black #1010.000 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81f2AjgoLlL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best welding helmet you can currently buy *by R***G on October 22, 2020* The peripheral vision + crystal clear clarity this thing provides is unparalleled.

Only downside is they say 180Β° view and in reality is about 90Β° or an average welding helmet ## Frequently Bought Together - Optrel Panoramaxx 2.5 Auto Darkening Welding Helmet Black #1010.000 - Optrel OPTREL - 6000.001 - BACKPACK Helmet Backpack, 2 Side Pockets - Optrel 5000.270 Front Cover Lens for Panoramaxx Helmet, 5 pack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/69672709-optrel-panoramaxx-2-5-auto-darkening-welding-helmet-black-1010](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/69672709-optrel-panoramaxx-2-5-auto-darkening-welding-helmet-black-1010) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-05*
