Jackson Safety PL 280 Pipeliner Welding Hood - Flip Front Welding Helmet - Shade 10 (Multiple Headgear Styles and Colors)

I bought this hood in September of 2025 and it hasn’t let me down since. The eggshell color, the shape, and ratchet are all great. The design is durable, as it has been dropped and rolled in the dirt a bit but it hasn’t come close to breaking. It does a fine job of keeping your face safe from the light and spatter, and it looks pretty neat when it gets all the burn marks and scrapes in my opinion. I’ve changed the clear lenses 3 times but never the shade 10 fixed lens. The shade is not too bright but not too dark. I’ve only ever done stick welding but once I get into higher amps on 7018 I just put on some darkened safety glasses and it works just fine. The ratchet is smooth and has never broken or jammed, the headgear is comfortable and works great if you adjust it to your liking. The nuts on the side of the hood are great, I’ve never stripped them and they work excellent. I also think when you lift up the hood and it locks loosely in place so it won’t fall down, that’s a cool touch in my opinion. All in all, this hood is great for what it’s priced as and I would recommend if you’re looking for a good quality pipeliner, sugar scoop, or maybe another alternative choice to a Honeywell Fiber Metal hood design, this Jackson PL280 is awesome.

As advertised.

Muy bien el producto

I have about 50 hours of actual weld time closing this helmet and it's the best one I've owned over the 20+ years of welding.I hope to never have to buy another one again, it's light, comfortable and a stright up professional helmet. Easy 5 stars!

Perfecta
