Light weight doesn't work well

Is it light? Yes! Is the view big and clear? Yes! Those are the only great things about this hood. Now for the bad news: when the hood is on, the inner pane fogs up very easily, whether from breath or sweat. The grind switch is poorly designed and difficult to tell if it is working properly. The tint feature appears to only have one tint, and it's around a 10, although clearly labeled 8 through 13. I have flickered many times to give this product a thumbs up.

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Outdated

Replacement for Chinamart helmet

I broke my Speedglass 9000V. Gave the china mart helmet a chance to arc burn and full flash and this helmet was Revain's top pick with over 1000 five star ratings, threw this thing in the trash had to stop work and let my eyes heal. I bought the Optrel Vega View 2.5, it must be the lightest helmet I've ever had, crystal clear optics, good handling. High quality headgear. It's a small helmet on top, but my 3M respirator fits snugly inside with a soft cartridge filter. I will be using this for…

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Wrinkled

The best investment you will ever make

Positive; I'm new to TIG welding and bought what I thought was a great helmet but boy was I wrong. This thing is very light, flexible and the view through the lens is AMAZING! I didn't really want to buy this helmet because of the cost but figured my eyesight was worth more than the cost of this one. I'd say probably the best investment I've made in a long time. If you buy this helmet you will be glad you did. Negative; Although this is an amazing helmet and every face shape is different, I had

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel

Light weight, poor performance

Pros
  • Grinding mode with great visibility
Cons
  • So far so good
