Ok first and foremost there was already a thread from back in 2009. Well it was just showing pictures of what people were using. So instead of reviving an old thread I figured I would start a new one where we can actually talk about our helmets along with more technical talk about what lenses to use for what material and not just show pictures. Though pictures are welcome.
So have having my wirefeed welder for some time and only using a cheap hf auto tint hemet i broke down and dropped a little cash to my Snap-on guy when he told me he would drop the price for me and be able to put it on my truck account. So i ended up getting the extreme face protector that comes with a clear lense, #10 shade fixed welding lense, and also a #10 adf welding lense for $250. One thing i like most about this helmet is the field of veiw. It goes from side to side not just a little box. On my adf lense its still has the box for the auto area but still has the full veiw. Pretty nice i think.
Now i have heard talk of others saying they have different colored lense shields like gold. The one on my adf lense is a nice metalic blue. My question is whats the different colored lenses for, is there a difference between them, or is it just personal preference? . Well here are a couple pictures of my new eye saver .
