Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ Welding Protection Darkening Cowhide Leather by Pete Norris

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Does the job

This is basic PPE for welders and seems to work quite well. I've been looking at the bow for about 4 or 5 hours for a few days now and haven't had any bow eye symptoms which tells me it's working. The auto-dimming module is decent, a bit slow at times, and I'll catch a glimpse of the low-density filter, but not long enough to blur my vision for more than a few seconds. Most of the time it catches it faster than my eyes can react, so it's not too annoying. Only it's made out of a real mooing cow (or at least an animal) and sparks bounce off it. The lens mounts rattle a bit, but work perfectly. Offers pretty good coverage, I think if it was a little bigger it would be less comfortable. Overall well made for the price, simple and spartan design but with good auto lens darkening. The only ergonomic complaint is that it could use a little more ventilation. The Pro version of this style (which costs over $150) has a couple of small mesh openings that I might try to fit in myself if I could find a similar fit.

Pros
  • Headgear
