About Speedglas

The Speedglas™ welding lens was the first commercially viable auto-darkening welding lens ever; and with its exclusive technology has been the standard of comparison for auto-darkening welding lenses ever since. Still ahead of its time more than 30 years since the first prototype, Speedglas’s revolutionary technology continues to make the Speedglas brand the safest and most reliable of all auto-darkening lenses available. Speedglas remains the world’s leading brand of personal protective equipment for welders.
