Review on Solar-Powered Auto Darkening Professional Welding Helmet W/Wide Lens & Adjustable Shade - DEKOPRO by Kyle Pickett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nice helmet on my review.

OK, first off. I am NOT a welder. This helmet is NOT a professionals' welding helmet. It also does not come with the professionals price tag. I purchased this helmet as an upgrade to the one that came with my little Lincoln wire feed welder. It is a very nice upgrade.The bad: The material of the helmet is a little thin and flexes quite a bit, though I'm not certain this is a bad thing. Then setting up the helmet, there's lots of pieces that have to be lined up on the two pivot bolts and need to be held in place while trying to tighten the pivot bolts. Having 3-4 hands would have been helpful, I made do with just two and it took me about 20 minutes to get all the adjustments set where I wanted them.The good: Nice big picture window in front of my face. Screen kicks over to dark very quickly, then goes back to transparent based on how long of a delay you set. Make sure you peel both the inner and outer protectors off the plastic covers, and it was nice to see the helmet came with two extra outer covers for when these get spattered up. Other good points, it's light weight, balanced well when up or down, the latches that hold it up are quite positive, yet release smoothly when you nod your head. Again, once set up to fit my own personal head, it works beautifully, I'm very happy with this helmet.

Pros
  • Provides excellent protection from spatter and debris
Cons
  • Difficult to adjust the fit

This hood is the worst one I''ve ever owned in 45 years of welding. The headgear was super cheap made. I replaced it first thing. The outer lens had wavey lines in the plastic. Again, replaced right away. I can''t see through it with my polarized safety glasses. It''s just black. Don''t waste your money.
