Needs modification

Works well after modification, just had to trim a few sides. I use a Viking 3350 and the lip expands the chest a lot. Otherwise it works great and I even forgot it was there.

Pros
  • High quality finish
Cons
  • Some imperfections

Nice but not long enough to cover the sides

I like the product. Seems well done. If this product were about 8 inches longer, it would block light coming from the sides of the helmet. That's where it occurs most often. But otherwise a very good product.

Pros
  • Trial for one year
Cons
  • Repair

Reduces arc reflection and protects neck area

Quality product. Easy installation. Prevents light reflection from clothing and hood. Protects the neck from burns when shrink-wrapping a T-shirt. The only downside is the need to manually close the hood tight when looking straight down due to the extra material. Love it. Does exactly what I needed.

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • Some issues

PPE is good value for money

Looks silly and wish it was a little thicker but it's much better than velcro or drilled holes in the hood. People complain that it's not long enough, but there's a lot of good stuff for me. It's quite heavy on its own to be honest, and while I would have preferred it to be thicker, I don't think I could carry that much weight on the hood all day. Haven't welded with it yet so can't comment on level of protection when idling or splashing. Keeps me from pulling all the hair out of my beard when…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Nothing here

Best choice for welding bibs

I've tried several welding bibs, these Black Stallion bibs are very good. Clips are easy to attach and stay in place. The two photos I've attached are of BLACK Stallion leather (this item) and BLACK Stallion Navy reversible fabric. I loved reversible fabrics until I found this leather version. I like it. Warning: I have also ordered other bibs that are not as easy to fasten (most use velcro) and some of these are rip offs. For example the so-called Miller welding helmet bib, item 246020, sold…

Pros
  • Clips hold most welding helmets securely
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other bibs

does his job. Mint!

Well last week my flash blew out a couple of times. It got so bad that I lay 1 day. I thought it was the hood, too low a dimming level, or a weak battery, but it wasn't. It turned out that this glow was coming from both my chest under the hood and my partner across the table. I chose this bib based on the price, style and three-sided coverage. Perfect. Doesn't light up at all under my hood. I don't have to lower the hood so far that the inner lens touches my face. I love it. I like how this bib

Pros
  • Universal design fits most helmets
Cons
  • Will write later

Lightweight / Comfortable / Great Value at $

This bib works great! I bought this because I recently bought a respirator for welding and the respirator works great but when I wear it my shield doesn't go all the way down which means the arc light is creeping out from under my shield giving me an unexpected one flare up from time to time. I'm tired of burning my eyes so I ordered this bib. It's good cowhide leather, so you don't have to worry about splash damage. It's light and quite comfortable. It's easy to attach a shield. Once you put…

Pros
  • Extended front cover provides extra coverage and reduces glare on chest
Cons
  • Ugly Packaging
