Lincoln Electric has announced that it has expanded its Vista® line of auto-darkening welding helmets. The company has also made upgrades to the entire line’s headgear, making it more ergonomic and comfortable for customer use. Red Rod(TM), the first new design, features hot rod flame graphics over candy-apple red metalflake paint, to appeal to the classic car enthusiast. The new retro-inspired SurfRod® helmets, pay tribute to the pinstripes and matte black finish used by street rodders of the 1950s and today. Additionally, Lincoln now offers an all black helmet, suitable for factory orders and individuals who prefer a more traditional look. The newly redesigned headgear features improved ventilation along with fore and aft adjustments for a more individualized fit.
