what welding helmet do you use?

im looking at getting a new one. i want a fixed lens with the bigger lens but im wonder whats the lightest one out there?

been using the northern tools auto dark helmet that was 50 bucks for 3 years now. if your looking to spend alil money id go with a battery powered one because they will last longer but hell 50 bucks every other year works great for me and its used almost every other day for work.

Lincoln Viking series. I love em.

I've been using a Miller Elite auto darkening for about 4 years now and love it. Lightweight and flexible. I have one identical to this one.

i use a miller digital elite and i like it compared to the other ones ive used. however if you have the money i would suggest the 3m speedglas.

heres a picture of mine..

my home depot special that i pimped out

I love the speedglass and miller elite helmets, but they give me a serious headache after wearing them for more than 10 minuets. My bulbous head seems to max out their sizes, and ends up being a super tight fit.

The speedglass helmets are super nice tho!
