When i weld overhead stick i always throw on my passive helmet. Ive welded overhead plate (Stick) for only a few hours and had to replace my clear lens on my auto darkening.

Jackson ECQ for me. Very durable lens.

err... kinda new here... wanna ask if there is a kelvar welding hood with AD made in US or Europe?

IF that is not avaliable then which AD hood would ya recommend from this 3?

1. 3M speedglas
2. Miller Elite
3. OPTREL

If money is not a problem, which is the toughest and protective lots of them all? I really need an upgrade... buying and havin it send to a remote 3rd world and find it expensive and not functionable could really make me talk to the monkey

Many Thanks in advance

decide on OPTREL... doesnt use battery and it have curve to wave the welding smog away faster... I will put leather on the surface with for HD purpose and it feel better... would post if I improve on the circuit on the hood...:)

Cheers
