## Description

Auto Darkening Helmet for Welding

Review: Great product! - Very clear sight, high quality mask.
Review: Best welding hood for the money. - I’m a “weekend welder”, but I weld frequently and take it seriously. I also wear glasses. The optics on this helmet are absolutely phenomenal. If you’re a full time pro, spend the extra money and buy the one with the larger lens. If you’re a fence builder or project maker or even a part time welder, you won’t find a better helmet. It’s comfortable (I spent the entire weekend in it, 20 hours welding with no headache), light, and the increased control from the improved visibility made me a better welder. Zero eye strain. Highly recommend!

- TRUE-COLOR VISIBILITY: Exclusive lens tech delivers vivid arc detail, reducing eye fatigue.

- BUILT-IN GRIND MODE: Quickly switch between welding and grinding with convenient LED indicator.
- COMFORTABLE ALL-DAY WEAR: Adjustable, cushioned ratchet headgear evenly distributes helmet weight.
- LONG-LASTING PERFORMANCE: Integrated solar panel plus AAA battery backup ensures consistent shading.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great lens color and price!
*by E***J on June 22, 2024*

I’ve been using this hood for about 6 months now for 40+ hours a week in a fab shop. It has a great color and makes it easy to see your puddle. It’s very lightweight, yet still durable. Just for the heck of it I tried to use my old Jackson hood and immediately took it off. I can’t stand the green color of the old hoods anymore, and the weight of the Jackson is far more than this Lincoln. I don’t know how I welded with the Jackson for so many years.. I could never go back. I’d love to purchase the more expensive Lincoln hood with the flashlight, but I can’t justify spending that much when this hood works so well. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a 40 hour production welder, this hood is a steal. 100% satisfied with my purchase.
