Welding Leather for Peltor Helmets STIHL 00008840435 — replacement leather panel

Replacement welding leather panel by STIHL designed for use with compatible Peltor helmet systems. This leather panel restores a protective barrier against sparks and splatter, helping to protect the helmet shell and the wearer’s head area during welding, cutting or grinding work. The panel is shaped to fit as an exchange part and extends the service life of helmets that accept this leather insert.

Advantages

The STIHL leather panel is made from heat-resistant leather that provides a robust mechanical barrier against sparks and hot particles while remaining flexible for comfortable fit and easy attachment. As a replacement part it allows fast restoration of the original protective coverage without the need to replace the entire helmet assembly. The leather’s surface sheds molten spatter and is simple to clean, and the panel is sized to maintain helmet balance and visibility when correctly installed.

Suitable for

• Welding and metal cutting where spark and spatter protection for helmets is required
• Replacement of worn or damaged leather panels on compatible Peltor helmet systems
• Workshops, fabrication shops and maintenance tasks with intermittent heat exposure

Key specifications

• Material: heat-resistant leather
• Function: welding and spatter protection for helmet area
• Design: shaped replacement panel for direct fit to compatible helmet shell
• Compatibility: intended for use with Peltor-style helmet systems that accept leather inserts

How to use

Prior to installation, ensure the helmet is clean and free of debris. Remove the old leather panel following the helmet manufacturer’s instructions and align the replacement panel to the attachment points on the helmet shell. Press or secure the panel into place according to the helmet system’s fastening method until it sits evenly and does not interfere with visor movement or head fit. Inspect the panel after fitting to confirm full coverage of the intended area.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the leather panel for signs of wear, heavy charring, cuts or thinning. Replace the panel promptly if its protective properties are compromised. Do not use a damaged panel for welding tasks. Store spare panels in a dry place away from direct heat or sunlight to maintain material properties.
