OUR TESTIMONIALS
amazing hood the head gear is so nice feels great
Works great! Awesome color and clarity
This is my favorite lens by far. I have over 12 different lenses and this one by far is my favorite one. I highly recommend it.
I have been using a Lincoln 4C welding lens for the last eight years and thought nothing would beat the clarity. This lens blows the 4C out of the water. I can see everything through this lens. I 100% recommended for all processes
Super super super clear lens and doesnt flicker at all even backfeeding stainless at 50-55 amps

The Future of Welding Optics Starts Here.
The Apex Standard
“BETTER VISION. SMARTER DESIGN. A NEW STANDARD IN WELDING GEAR.”
WHERE IT ALL STARTED
The Apex Vision & Apex Gold
Apex began in 2023 with the Apex Vision - an analog, plastic-frame, variable-shade lens built around a simple idea: give welders a better view.
That same year, we broke through with the Apex Gold, bringing a gold filter with a blue puddle in a variable lens to the market. It became the lens that put Apex on the map and helped turn a new brand into a name welders recognized.
MORE THAN LENSES
The Apex Lineup Grows
In 2024, Apex expanded with products including the Apex Amber and Apex Pro, while growing beyond lenses with custom welding hoods, FR gear, gloves, and more.
Apex was no longer just one lens. We were building a complete welding brand.
ENTER THE 8K ERA
A New Level of Clarity
In 2025, we pushed lens technology further with our first stainless-frame lens and the introduction of the Apex Vision 8K - bringing our 8K platform to welders looking for next-level clarity.
We also introduced lenses like the Apex Solaris, continuing to expand the colors, views, and technology available to welders.
REINVENTING THE GAME
The Apex Predator 8K
In 2026, Apex takes another leap forward with the Apex Predator 8K - our fully variable, 100% solar-powered stainless-frame 8K welding lens, engineered to combine the technology we've developed over the years into one next-generation platform.
No batteries. No compromises. Just Apex pushing the view forward.

Check out the most common questions our customers asked. Still have questions ? Contact our customer support.
What’s the difference between fixed shade and auto-darkening lenses?
Fixed shade lenses maintain the same level of darkness at all times, while auto-darkening lenses automatically adjust when the arc is struck. The right choice depends on your welding setup, process, and personal preference.
How do I choose the right shade for welding?
The appropriate shade depends on the welding process and amperage you’re working with. Always follow the recommended shade range for your application and applicable safety standards.
Will APEX lenses fit my welding hood?
Compatibility depends on the lens size and hood configuration. Check the dimensions listed on the product page and compare them with your current hood before ordering.
What is True Color technology?
True Color technology is designed to provide a more natural view through the lens, improving color perception and contrast compared with the traditional green tint associated with many welding lenses.
How do I care for my APEX lens
Keep the lens clean and protected from excessive scratches, impact, moisture, and debris. Use a soft, non-abrasive cloth for cleaning and replace damaged protective covers when necessary to help maintain clear visibility.
