- ARCCAPTAIN Welding Helmet Auto Darkening, 3.94"X3.66" Large Viewing Screen True Color Welding Hood with 4 Arc Sensor Solar Powered, Wide Shade 4-5/5-9/9-13 for ARC TIG MIG Welding Helmets for Men

When I took it out of the box, I was surprised how light it was, and it actually seemed kind of flimsy. Once it sat outside the box for 24 hours and I decided not to return it but to give it a try, I was pleasantly surprised. I have never used one of these new full color helmets before, but I was absolutely amazed. I cannot believe how clearly you can see what your welding. The problem I was having with my two other helmets was that I could not lighten the lens enough to see my weld very well when welding, thin metal at low amperage. Compared to the nice Miller auto darkening helmet that was $200 twenty years ago this helmet is quite the upgrade. Since I am retired and just building stuff to amuse myself, I think this helmet will be great. My guess is that an employee could destroy it in no time at all, but maybe I would be surprised.

this thing gets dark quick and didn't even blink when it's on. For the price this is a must have product and I"m happy with the quality

This helmet so far works Very well. Image is crisp and colors are pretty good. I have gone through several different helmets trying to clean sharp and lightened colored screen that allows me to see the welds and material better during fabrication. This thing even outperforms my Hobart helmet! I only have one complaint: Some men like me have a large head. If this is You, be advised the helmet will fit "Tight" because it is a little small. It does offer good coverage though and has a pretty decent head strap sytem once you get it adjusted............I really can't complain for the price. I Would buy it again!

First let me say I don't weld for a profession, if I did, this would not be the helmet I would use. I'm just a guy that's been welding out of necessity for 30 yrs, with that being said, this is my 1st true color lid. It's so much better than the green/grey scale. There are lots of adjustments for sensitivity and shade darkness and they work pretty well. It also comes with a extra battery and protective lenses which is a bonus. Unfortunately after about 2 hrs of use the tightening ratchet on the back of the helmet quit holding the position and basically stripped out. No big deal, get a hold of the manufacturer's customer service and then let Amazon know what's going on....... I'm starting to get pissed off because for almost 2 weeks, it's been radio silence. I sure hope someone reads this and contacts me soon. I will change my rating if someone from Amazon and or Arccaptain actually responds and makes this right. Update - both Amazon and Arccaptain contacted me and made everything right. Change5v y

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Got it in a matter of hours. Haven’t actually used it to weld with, but tested it with a super high powered flashlight. Worked great. The knobs are easy to adjust while wearing it. The only thing I didn’t like was the protective film over the outside glass was tucked up under the mask itself. It wouldn’t peel off clean. I had to use a razor blade to carefully get the edges of the film off. Made me a bit nervous about scratching the glass.

This helmet is really, really good. You can see so well out of it and the window is so large. It's kind of frustrating I bought a Hobart brand name welder and helmet 10 years or so ago. It was the Blaze helmet. The controls kind of sucked, the window was narrow, couldn't see out of it very well. And the screen recently went bad from sitting. But the helmet looked great. You look at the cost of Miller helmets, Hobart helmets, any replacement parts for these. ($120 for replacement lens assembly) Nothing they offer is even competitive. They have fallen back to the Apple pricing strategy, when they could compete. And then you think about what it is. What does it cost? Are they including some kind of better technology? Better controls? Anything! And they're not. It's literally molded plastic with a standardized square in the front. Beyond that, you source or make a lens and you insert it. This doesn't cost hundreds of dollars.

I really like this helmet! .. fit was narrow at first but has stretched out over usage .. Find using this helmet my welds are so much better with the auto darkening and large viewing screen

Definitely recommend it they work great

Belle visibilité, vitre abordable, après 2 semaines d'utilisation la couche de clear partait en lambeau....selon moi il ne durera pas 1 an intensif. Bon pour faire de menus travaux dans son garage mais sans plus

J'en suis content casque agréable à porter et la vue est parfaite avec le grand écran

Top Helm, Automatik funktioniert sehr schnell, gute Anpassmöglichkeit, top!

Très bon casque de soudage. La vitre qui se teinte pour protéger nos yeux, est très grande. Cela facilite le soudage en donnant une plus grande vision.

Pour moi je le trouve top je suis amateur et il me protège très bien les yeux j'adore son design et je trouve la qualité plutôt satisfaisante
