Jackson Safety Insight Auto Darkening Welding Helmet - Ultra Lightweight Protective Welder Helmet with Digital Variable Auto Darkening Filter and HLX100 Shell for Men and Women, Universal Size

Great hood and it was fairly priced, after 4 years my other one went out and I needed a hood in a hurry so I bought a Lincoln electric hood and it was terrible so I found this one on Amazon and it was here a day early.

Been using it all day today. All I can say is wow at the clarity. I absolutely love this thing.

Great helmet,last one I had lasted 30 years. This one is even better.

Fellow Speedglass 9100 veterans this is a weight improvement, this one is lighter. However switching out the dirty plastic lens can be tedious if you constantly need to swap. To swap the plastic lens you need to remove the auto darkener out first. Not the best easy access, but if you change it not as frequently shouldn't be a problem. Now using it it's pretty good and probably easier to see. If you use lens settings on 10 for mig cause you can't see squat you'll be dialing this one at 12 or 13 it's that bright and easier to see. I give this a 4.5/5 stars. It's worth the little weight reduction and clarity to me at least.

On time and what I ordered

I love this welding hood, the auto darkening makes it nice while working. I felt this was a good value for the money, the fit was great.

Good construction. Would buy again

The media could not be loaded. got this helmet to replace an old hobart. noticed immediately the lens was very clear and the filter was colored well. also noteworthy is that it wears comfortably on the head, the strap adjusts easily and it adjusts comfortably to the back of my head. when its on it feels like an extension of my skull which is great.other reviewers say its heavy. its definitely heavier than most hoods. not a problem unless you have a sissy girl neck and cant manage the weight. i wear it comfortably for around 75% of my 10 hour shifts 5 days a week.the sturdiness is where this helmet shines, and is why i picked it up. everyone at my work swears by jackson for their hoods. things are indestructible, most hoods i pick up usually feel flimsy and ive had hoods crack when i drop them. with this jackson, it feels like i could take a .50cal to the temple in it and be fine. if you want a real tank of a hood with a clear lens at a solid price, this cant be beat.excellent hood, very satisfied.
