    What I don't like about it is it takes 2 hands to put the hood on to get it situated. Old head gear just one hand and it's on.

    The old head gear is still available for purchase. At least it was a year ago. I didn't care for the new style so I ordered the old and swapped it out.

    I have the same problem with mine. It's my third, first two were not as bad but still drooped. I feel it's just a POS design. Not enough friction to hold up the hood with an auto darkening lens. But they are the most comfortable head gears out there. I have one on my Digital Elite and one on a modified Jackson hood. The Jackson is the go to hood, It fits the 3-M respirator better.

    Oscar, per your advice I disassembled both sides, one at a time so I didn't get confused, didn't find anything off, reassembled each still a problem but not as bad, I'll use it a while and see, may contact Miller and ask about it also. Thanks,

    I suggest taking it apart and investigating all the parts to see what makes it tick. Perhaps something was not installed correctly?

    Oscar, I've got the headgear you posted a pic of and I'm having the same problem that Salem has. I've tightened it to the point i'm scared I might overdue it. Any suggestions?

    Miller Gen 3 headgear

    Hi Guys,

    I recently bought a miller gen 3 headgear to update my ~12 year old miller digital elite.

    It's really comfortable but I can't get it to stay in the up position, it keeps falling down and driving me crazy.

    These dont work the same as the old ones, I have tried tightening the screws up and all that did for me was make it squeak, grrr!

    Does anyone know how to adjust the tension in the hood position mech? I can't see any adjustments on it .

    Thanks.
