I was doubtful that an auto darkening helmet of this price class would hold up to frequent use. Although it is not as robust as some "pro" helmets, it is very well made and has held up to daily use for more than a month with no signs of slowing down. It has been dropped multiple times and banged repeatedly while up on my head with no signs of damage other than a few scuffs. If you are a professional welder you can justify paying $200+ for a helmet but if you are a hobby welder this is just the ticket.

Bought this for my son who was using goggles, and felt he should have something a bit safer. He loved it! The auto darkening feature is genius. Great protection, and The quality is great so far, and the price was unbeatable.

I received my purcase and i was suprised at the value i got. i would definately buy another and give reference to a friend to buy.

I know nothing of welding but my son is ion training to become a welder and this helmet came highly recommeded, by his teacher. I would recommend this helment for any pro or ameteur. For the price and options it can't be beat.

I bought this for my dad and he said it works great. He is very happy with it, and you can't beat the price. Very good buy.
