  • Great value for clarity and performance
This is a good helmet for the money and has a nice clear view. It compares to a much more expensive (brand E) helmet I have in terms of performance and clarity. It’s my go to for under chassis or tighter places as the design better protects the lens from contact points. Replacement lens also costs less than my brand E bubble shaped lens. The headgear is okay, not quite as comfy as my brand E. Bottom line is if you want a real nice one that you’ll wear for long periods and can spend more get a brand E helmet. If you need a good general purpose helmet in the mid price range these are great. ... show more

  • Don’t spend $500! This one is awesome!
Been using this hood most days of the work week for 4 months now! Very dependable! Clear vision and the head gear is average. EDIT- 11 months in! Been dropped rained on some and still going strong! Wish the grind/weld switch was on the outside but you can’t beat this hood for the money

  • Very pleased
I enjoy welding as a hobby, have made truck racks, gates, that sorry of thing, and have also taught the Boy Scout welding merit badge to some kids in grandsons troop. For this reason I have acquired several helmets for students and parents who want to observe. Progressed from the Harbor Freight (great value when starting out) up to the Lincoln Viking, which provides the best image of all. But I recently added to the collection with the Hobart auto darkening helmet and am very impressed with the light weight, comfort, and image quality. After reading many reviews, it just struck me as an outstanding value (about 1/3rd the price I paid for the Lincoln). I also liked the two battery in Hobart vs one for Lincoln after having to replace Lincoln battery after a year. The main feature the Lincoln has which Hobart does not is the external grind button. Because I don’t do production welding I find I have not even used the grind button. For me it has been about being able to see the weld better and toward that end got cheater lenses for both helmets. In my experience the image provided by both helmets is excellent, but for the money, the Hobart is the better value and as a bonus does not have the quirk of occasionally pulling your hair out which the Lincoln has. For my purposes, if I had it to do over again, I would get 2 Hobart helmets and have had money left over to squander in some other foolish way. ... show more

  • Quality you expect from Hobart
Works excellent, quality you expect from Hobart. Used as a gift to a novice welder just starting out, he loves it. Easy to adjust and user friendly.

  • great auto darkening helmet for the price!!!
Love this helmet. I tig with shade 11 and it works great. It hasnt flickered for me as the delay setting is really good. The sensitivity of the light sensor is very good, too good actually to where looking at a 10w LED light bulb turns it on if looked directly at it. Grinding and looking at the sparks does turn it on also but put it in grind mode and it works great. I do wish grind mode was accessable from the outside of the helmet instead of inside the helmet. I tend to wear the helmet for an hour or two just straight on my head going from welding to grinding and if the grind mode button was on the outside it would make switching back and forth very easy, instead of just trying to stick my gloved fingers inside to switch. And because I wear it almost all day, its very comfortable on my head. I wear no welding cap. Would be a 5 star if grinding mode was more accessible. I would give it 4.5 stars ... show more

  • Decent starter welding helmet that does what it should
First and only welding helmet I've used so nothing else to compare it to. The auto darkening feature works well. It's fairly light weight and the headband comfort is fine. It's tedious to remove the auto darkening assembly if it fogs up or needs to be cleaned but not too bad. It just feels a bit fragile so I wouldn't want to mess with it too often. The helmet seems fine for a hobbies that does occasional welding, but you'd probably want something more robust for more frequent or production work. Got the MiDube 18.5" x 16.5" Storage Bag to store it in. ... show more
