wow, thanks for all the info guys. that is what i needed. hey dev, i looked up the optrel satellites and i found a few places that sell them but not very many. where did you buys yours from? i have been checking out the specs on them, now i just need to compare. they are probably who i will go with though. thanks again.
I bought mine at a local welding/osha shop called Oxarc...they are everywhere. I have an account with them if you would like me to get you one of the helmets at a helluva lot cheaper than retail...
im just curious dev but what do those satelitte hoods retail at?

hey justin, i was just looking on ebay and they were ranging from 290-350.
hmmm. thats strange. dev said that the millers and lincolns were overpriced. i got my helmet on a sale due to my situation at the time for 160 bucks. retail it wasnt but like 215.00 ofcourse this is just a plain black helmet with no fancy designs or anything.

make a purchase yet?

He is getting a Optrel Satellite Helmet...
I am hooking him up with the phatty shop discount...
Woot!
hey dev, my paypal acct is fixed so whenever you are ready just let me know man. just whenever you get a chance. if they have a green one like yours that would be sick but if not, it's whatever. thanks a lot man.
I have the Lincoln and love it, but I only use occasionally in my garage. I think if I were welding all the time the satellite would be my choice. One of the instructors at the local welding school let me try his and it was sweet!
