Fibre-Metal by Honeywell Tigerhood Classic Thermoplastic Welding Helmet with Speedy Loop Hard Hat Mount, Gray (5906GY) Medium

So I've been welding over 10 years now. I own the Lincoln 3350. Miller Digital Elite. Jackson Safety and so on. I've recently started using fixed shades and different hoods since I'm planning to make some employment changes. This is officially my go to. I know I just got it(the hard hat combo to noted as well) but I used it today doing what I do. I dont plan on going back to previous hoods. This lid is strong. Durable. Simple to be used and operate. The lens that came with it is an awesome plus. I expected good old green. More towards crimson. I could practically see the arcs dancing on the tungsten. The fitting is solid. The hard hat part at least since i have the mount but not the headgear(yet) Its a bit heavy on a 12 hour day but I wouldnt trade that out. To me thats strength and conditioning on my end. Comfort is mild but not a headache. Then again. I've only used 2 hoods that were really comfortable, so I may be spoiled. But. To anyone who wants a well rounded helmet. This is it. *To all new welders reading this* This is a great starting hood as well. It may take practice getting used to but dont forget your lens flips up and down. You're not always dark 😆 But i plan on buying some auto lens in all this. But this is it. Another thing for new welders to consider is...sure. it doesn't have a massive auto lens like a miller or Lincoln, but I can tell you from experience that its not always worth it. I've worked in some tight and complex places. Even welded and used a mirror to do do. Due to some of my angles, my auto lens arc sensors didnt always sense the arc. So id be blinded part of my weld and running off of small squint visions and instant picture memory of were the metal is being fused. The shape and size of these lens make it much easier to detect an arc if you choose to run with an auto on this hood. I hope you guys choose this hood. Good. Dependable. Sturdy. Cant beat it.

Good welding hood, for a reasonable price. Exactly what I needed for work.

Worked for what I needed it for

Buena careta

It’s big, it’s bulky. It’s durable. Does what it’s supposed to do. My only complaint is it’s so wide fore my head that it’s puts a lot of pressure on the front and back of my head when the head gear is tightened. Use the headgear that has the little tabs that protrude out from the headgear.

My go to hood. Durable, basic. You can get optional auto dark lense for this if you look around. Been using this hood for 18 years. It has never let me down. There are other hoods out there but this one has never let me down. You can also find parts for these at reasonable prices. Would I buy again? Yep.

Fits onto a hard hat, seems to be well made, works well. If you are looking for a simple, inexpensive, old time arc welding helmet, you can't beat this.

Simple reliable flip up to let you see or grind or use as a face mask. Easily takes a cheater lens. Old school charm. Add a auto darkening lens. Good to go.
