Review on ESAB 0700000800 Low Profile Resistance Infinitely Adjustable by Omar Svagera

I spent a lot of time shopping when looking for a new hood. I chose this one and am happy with it. I weld thin stainless steel 10 hours a day 90% with the hood down. If you're considering this hood, I'd say take the plunge. Advantages; looks cute with slightly heavier weight, strong hard shell, cons; If you're not welding directly onto what you're welding (quick motion, no need to turn your head) you'll get flare because the lens is curved. I believe this applies to all curved lenses. It's okay if you look straight at the arch. When it was brand new I could see my breath on the touchscreen when the hood was down. Also not critical, but noticeable during welding. After getting a bit dusty it seemed to stop. Since the outer lens is flush with the body, you will scratch the lens if you place it face down.
