Lincoln Electric Viking 3350 (K3034-3) Welding Helmet Review

Welding is grueling work, which is why the 3350 helmet series by Lincoln Electric is designed for comfort and optimal fit. Available in 10 unique styles, from the standard black welding helmet to the frighteningly stylish zombie helmet, the Lincoln Viking 3350 manages to look great while being one of the safest helmets on the market.

In addition to the standard auto-darkening features of the Lincoln 3350, the helmet provides excellent optical clarity (due to its cutting-edge 4C lens technology) as well as a very large viewing area, allowing the wearer almost total freedom of head movement. Lets get into the details.

Auto-Darkening with adjustable sensitivity and wide shade selection (DIN 6 to 13)

While auto-darkening has become the de-facto standard in today’s welding helmets, the Lincoln 3350’s screens come with a wide range of easily adjustable sensitivities (DIN 6 to 13), ensuring you won’t get flashed while working, and enabling you to work in any lighting environment with ease.

Perfect 1/1/1/1 Optical Clarity

The new Viking auto-darkening cartridges rate highly in all four optical categories: Optical Class, Diffusion of Light Class, Variations in Luminous Transmittance and Angle Dependence of Luminous Transmittance Class. This means you’ll have crystal-clear clarity at all times.

New: The latest 4C lens technology takes the helmet’s optical clarity to a whole new level, making the view crisper, clearer and cleaner.

Massive View Window Size

With a viewing screen size of 3.74in x 3.34in (95mm x 85mm), The Viking 3350 (K3034-3) has an enviable field of vision, enabling work even in tight spots where vision is impaired.

Awesome Styles For Every Taste

Here are a few different styles you might prefer:

Heavy, especially after a full day of welding

Due to the large viewing screen, the Lincoln Viking 3350 is a little face heavy, which you can especially feel after a full day of welding. Luckily the suspension system is comfortable, and in addition to the highly adjustable headgear, the helmet’s weight is usually not much of a problem.

Glossy black coating easily scratched

Despite being nice to look at, the glossy black finish of this helmet is easily scratched, so be careful – especially when you’re working in a tight spot. One amazon customer mentioned welding with the helmet for only a couple of hours before noticing some scratches on the hood.

String bag, welding bandana, instruction manual, helmet stickers for personalization, 5 lens shields
