Light weight, works well.

December 2, 2020

This is my second auto-darkening lense hood. The first was a 3M model. I was happy with it, but I was doing a bunch of head down work outside and the sweat ended up killing the electronics.

I guess this is a note to all to be careful and keep the electronics dry. As they say, never let the smoke out or it will quit working.

The Miller ClearLight lens is a step up from conventional green shading. I am very happy with the pre-shade vision as well. I was also impressed with the headband adjustments. For the money, you cant beat it.

As a bonus the grandson thinks the helmet is a cool looking transformer costume.

Pros

Good performance
Low price
Nice headband adjustments

Not what I expected

November 30, 2020

I saw from the ad the picture of the weld that was in the picture was the new blue type but when I got the helmet it was the old green type. So I sent it back for a refund.

Cons

Not the newer blue type lens but old green type.
