Perfect for hobbyists, journeymen, farmers and home mechanics, the helmets darken in 1/12,000 of a second after arc start and feature an internally adjustable auto-darkening shade (#9-12), lens sensitivity and delay controls.


XVS Series helmets have a MSRP of $159 US, however prices will vary by retailer. Both the Bonehead and Hothead are available through farm/ranch and hardware/tool retailers in the U.S. and Canada.

Break-Through Graphics with a Clear View
Earning its name, the Bonehead features a menacing skeleton clawing its way through the face and sides of the black hood; revealing a toxic green undertone radiating from a hidden world beneath. With a beady-orange eye, the skeleton clutches its shiny metallic Hobart Hood emblem atop of the helmet.

Offered as part of a Bonus Buy package, the XVS Bonehead comes complete with a protective cloth helmet bag and headgear comfort cushion, together a $20 value.

Sure to inspire the inner pyro, Hobart¡¯s Hothead design delivers realistic fire and flame, which engulfs the shell of Hobart¡¯s Hothead design. Pictured on top of a metallic black finish, the swirling heat and flames weave through a white-hot Hobart Hood logo.

These bold artistic displays are equally matched with high-end performance. All XVS Series designs have a 3.74 x 1.57-inch viewing area with two independent arc sensors that provide continuous arc-sensing capability. XVS helmets darken in 1/12,000 of a second after arc start and feature an internally adjustable auto-darkening shade (#9-12), lens sensitivity and delay controls.
