3M Speedglas 9100 with Extended Coverage and Crown (06-0500-51) Review

doesn't always like the cap on my head it works pathetically seeing me weld 4g with a flux core and not a single burn in my throat or a weird mark on it the product, I don't know why, but it's already 4 months old and there are no cinders or bees on it

If you have binoculars to walk with, you should do it yourself. This thing protects you from sparks and other objects falling on your head. The hooks that come with the kit are not broken, they are made in such a way that you can detach them and maybe wash your hat, but make sure you put them in one piece.

Great item. Now I don't have to worry about sparks and spatter getting on my neck and burning me. This coating is nice and dense, dark gray in color, so it doesn't get dirty easily, and when it's dirty, it's not that noticeable. It is necessary.

I love how this neck brace protects my neck from splashes, but it doesn't work at all when you have to use a helmet adapter. The way the clips on the adapter line up with the clips for the adapter causes the clips to constantly pop out. I was considering modifying the clips to stay on my adapter as I have to wear a company made hard hat 10 hours a day.

Just received yesterday, just got to class and was about to put it on, the first thing that happened was it was stuck and not moving properly, must have been a sign that it was too small at first but i tried to put it on anyway. Didn't know you can't remove it from your helmet AFTER it's FULLY ON if it's too small for that. Let's ask the instructor to help me fix the helmet. Buyer beware, does not work with Sentinel A50 which I am using.

I've been using this 'crown' on my 9100XX canopy for over a year now and yes the clips are flimsy but the crown itself doesn't add weight to the canopy so it's a compromise . Will they survive? yes they will I'm not a seller either. I'm a unionized boilerman constantly crawling into the tightest and tightest spots in the dark, filthy bowels of coal-fired power plants, oil refineries, nuclear bombs, paper mills, etc. My hood is subjected to the most horrific tests. , from roasting to tight tube…
