The shield is made of thick yet flexible natural leather, which is a material with excellent insulating and mechanical properties. The leather effectively absorbs and dissipates the intense heat radiation generated by the welding arc, protecting the skin from burns. Its dense structure also provides a physical barrier to liquid metal splashes, preventing them from coming into contact with the body and work clothes. This is a key element of protection when welding with high currents or methods that generate a large amount of spatter, such as FCAW. Investing in this shield is a direct investment in inviolable personal safety and extending the life of protective clothing.

The 4028.029 is a long version, which means that its cut is specially designed to cover a much larger area than standard accessories. It covers not only the upper chest area, but also the sensitive neck and collarbone area, which are particularly vulnerable to splatter and radiation when welding in a ceiling (overhead) or vertical position. The anatomical shape ensures that the shield adheres to the body without restricting the freedom of movement of the head and shoulders. This ensures full protection of sensitive points, giving the welder confidence and the ability to focus solely on the precision of the work being performed.

The visor is designed as an integral part of the Optrel ecosystem, which guarantees its perfect fit and stability. It attaches directly to the lower edge of the visor shell using dedicated mounting points. Such a system ensures that the visor moves together with the visor, creating a tight and consistent protective barrier regardless of the welder’s head position. This eliminates the risk of gaps or accidental slipping of the shield at a crucial moment. This solution guarantees reliability and comfort, eliminating the need to constantly correct and adjust the equipment during operation.
