Reviews & Ratings

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best for the money I've had this helmet for a couple of years. The camouflage graphics haven't worn out, the view port is a little small for the type of work I'm doing (welding upside down and laying on my side under semi trailers and in tight spaces where I cant move my head). It has several adjusting points and the fit is very comfortable, the shade adjusts for everything i need it for, cutting and grinding as well as the obvious. As for the negative, well....its a great hood but over time the hood starts to fall by itself, but I suppose they all will with age. I give this a helmet 4-5 star rating. If you're looking for a helmet for recreational welding, then this helmet is for you!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from All around good I bought it before I went back to school. I love it. I can use it all day no matter what I am doing. The only disadvantage is the shell has a matte finish that collects dirt and dust and scratches easily. That is just a minor point.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from not impressed I was given this helmet by my employer and I gave it an honest try. I have an older 7300 series (a bit beat up) and I have switched back to it. The inability to put the helmet up far enough to keep it up drives me nuts, I'm trying to do layout and it keeps creeping down, the side retainers don't have enough grip. It has a "click" open point but if you put it high enough to engage it you can't do the head whip to get the helmet to come down. and the "clunk" resounding through my skull as it engages and disengages p*sses me. The electronics are so so, they turn off and then you have to 'boot" the helmet to changes the modes, I still prefer the analog controls on the inside, that way I can be assured what mode its going to engage in when I pickup after its "gone to sleep". also the internal touchpad is prone to burns from welding sparks, And I firmly believe i would find myself having to replace the electronics unit because of this if I continued to use the helmet for my job. I guess that's why they are not rated for overhead welding which ultimately makes them useless for my line of work were i find myself under things fixing them as I find myself actually manufacturing in flat position

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Digital elite This helmet has worked flawlessly even in sub zero temperature. All the settings work great . One helmet that's serves all functions grind mode saves lots of time from switching from helmet to helmet.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very impressed with the welding helmet I work in the mining industry where I am used to high quality products so wasn't sure what to expect when I bought this for home use. Very impressed and happy with the purchase
