  • Moisture management: The 168015 sweatband is engineered with absorbent material that wicks sweat away from the head, improving comfort in warm or high-activity welding environments.
  • Comfort enhancement: Designed to cushion the forehead contact area, the band reduces pressure and heat buildup during prolonged wear.
  • Hygiene support: Sweat absorption helps reduce moisture-related skin irritation and keeps the interior of the helmet cleaner between maintenance cycles.
  • Helmet fit optimization: By managing perspiration, the sweatband contributes to maintaining a secure and consistent helmet fit even during extended shifts.
  • Replaceable comfort component: As a modular accessory, the sweatband can be replaced without changing core helmet hardware, supporting routine maintenance and hygiene.
  • Metal Fabrication & Welding Workshops: Improves comfort for welders during extended welding, cutting, grinding or fabrication work.
  • Heavy Engineering & Manufacturing: For routine welding tasks where wearer comfort and hygiene are key factors in productivity.
  • Construction & Field Welding: Helps control sweat and moisture for welders onsite working in variable temperature conditions.
  • Shipbuilding & Infrastructure Projects: Used where workers wear helmets for long periods during assembly, structural welding and maintenance tasks.
  • Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul Facilities: Supports hygiene and comfort for frequent helmet use in MRO workflows involving welding and fabrication.
