Default Re: welding helmet

I am a welder by trade. I have tried many different helmets in many different conditions. I have found a good quality old style flip helmet that takes the 2 1/4" x 4" lenses with a auto darkening insert is very affordable and long lasting. I will add a name of the auto darkening insert in the morning when I get to work. I pay $40 for the helmet and $90 for the lense. I have found expensive helmets to touchy to everything and not worth the investment if you actually work in a helmet. My current helmet and lense are both 3+ years in service and used almost daily.
