I have a thread on my good helmet but I will say it here also.
The auto's are way cool but everyone should weld with a passive hood every now and then just cause. Just sayin.
Now for the auto's, I have a couple cheeps from harbor freight and they work.
I got a XVP patriot hobart for cheep at TSC. Its a pretty nice hood but the buttons are tiny and hard to manipulate with gloves on.
Then theres my speedglas,
OMG its the king of helmets, IMO that is. I really love my 9100 series hood. Its crazy how much better you can see with a good hood.
