Finding a welding mask for a Type II hard hat can be harder than it should be.
Many welding masks are designed as standalone helmets, while many Type II safety helmets are not designed with welding-mask compatibility in mind. For welders, utility crews, industrial maintenance teams, and safety managers, that creates a simple but important question:
What welding mask can actually be mounted to a Type II helmet?
For the LAND Frontier Type II Safety Helmet, we have an answer.
LAND has tested and evaluated two welding mask mounting solutions that work with the Frontier Type II helmet: JACKSON and PAULSON.
Instead of leaving customers to experiment with different products and adapters, we wanted to identify practical options that we have actually mounted and evaluated on the Frontier platform.
Two Welding Mask Solutions Tested on the Frontier Type II
If you're looking for a welding mask for a Type II helmet, these are the two solutions we have tested:
JACKSON welding mask setup 46131
PAULSON welding mask setup Part #9168108
Both can be mounted to the LAND Frontier Type II helmet with the appropriate mounting configuration.
And rather than simply telling you they fit, we can show you.
Solution 1: JACKSON Welding Mask + Frontier Type II Helmet
The JACKSON welding mask solution is one of the configurations we tested and evaluated with the Frontier Type II.
Once properly mounted, the welding mask integrates with the Frontier helmet so the worker can use the Type II helmet as the foundation of the head-protection system while adding welding face protection when the job requires it.
For crews already familiar with JACKSON welding products, this provides a practical way to combine a welding mask with a Type II hard hat platform.
Solution 2: PAULSON Welding Mask + Frontier Type II Helmet
The PAULSON welding mask solution is the second configuration we tested and evaluated.
It provides another working option for companies searching for a welding mask for a Type II hard hat, particularly for organizations that already use PAULSON products or prefer this style of welding protection.
With two tested options available, crews are not limited to a single welding-mask solution when configuring the Frontier Type II.
JACKSON or PAULSON: Which Welding Mask Should You Choose?
Both solutions have been successfully tested on the Frontier Type II, so the better choice may come down to the welding mask your crew prefers, the type of lens or visor system required, availability, and your existing PPE program.
Why Combine a Welding Mask with a Type II Helmet?
Welding is often only one part of a worker's job.
On construction sites, utility projects, manufacturing floors, fabrication facilities, and industrial maintenance jobs, workers may move between welding and other tasks throughout the day.
They may need to weld, inspect equipment, perform maintenance, grind material, move through an active jobsite, and then return to welding.
A compatible welding-mask setup allows the Frontier Type II helmet to remain the core head-protection platform while the worker adds the appropriate welding protection for the task.
That can make the overall PPE setup more adaptable for crews working across multiple applications.
More Than a Welding Helmet
The Frontier Type II is designed first as a safety helmet.
The Frontier Type II Class E configuration featured in our testing offers:
- ANSI/ISEA Z89.1 Type II head protection
- Class E electrical classification
- Non-vented design
- ABS shell with EPS impact liner
- 4-point chin strap
- Adjustable 52–64 cm fit range
- Accessory-ready mounting design
For utility and industrial teams in particular, being able to start with a Type II Class E helmet and configure it for additional jobsite applications can be valuable.
LAND also offers other Frontier configurations, including vented helmet options for environments where additional airflow is preferred and the applicable hazard assessment permits their use.
A Type II Helmet Platform Built for Different Jobsites
The welding-mask setup highlights one of the main advantages of the Frontier platform: adaptability.
The same basic helmet platform can support different work environments and accessory requirements rather than forcing every worker into exactly the same configuration.
For a company outfitting an entire crew, that can mean starting with a common Type II helmet platform and configuring individual helmets according to the tasks workers actually perform.
For example, one worker may primarily need a standard Frontier Type II configuration, while another may need a compatible welding mask for fabrication or maintenance work.
The helmet stays familiar. The setup changes with the job.
Looking for a Welding Mask for a Type II Hard Hat?
Here's the answer we want to make easy to find:
Yes. We have tested welding mask mounting options on the LAND Frontier Type II helmet.
Two solutions we have tested and evaluated are:
JACKSON
&
PAULSON
Both provide practical options for customers looking to add welding protection to a Frontier Type II hard hat / safety helmet configuration.
The photos in this article show the actual setups so you can see how each welding mask mounts to the Frontier Type II before deciding which solution is right for your crew.
Build the Right Frontier Type II Setup for Your Crew
A safety helmet should match the work being performed.
Whether you're outfitting welders, utility workers, fabrication teams, industrial maintenance crews, contractors, or an entire organization, the LAND Frontier Type II gives you an adaptable helmet platform with options for different jobsite requirements.
And when welding is part of the job, you now have two tested welding-mask mounting solutions to consider: JACKSON and PAULSON.
