Well we had out christmas tonight since my brother has to work tomorrow (firefighter) and my parents got me a new autodarkening welding helmet. This thing is sweet, changes instantly as in I can't even see a bright flash of light even for the little fraction of a second it takes to switch over unlike my old boss's jackson helmet where you got flashed at first for a fraction of a second. It has a good field of view, can adjust the lense darkness from 9-13 and anywhere in between, push a button to turn the lense off to do some grinding, adjust the sensitivity of the sensors to switch from light to dark. Can move it closer and further away from your face, and can also tilt the helmet with a knob to how you like it. Hands down probably one of the best helmets out there My g/f also got me a nice lincoln electric cover to go over my welder.
Anyother welders out there try one of these helmets, and if so, how do you like them?
