Speedglas welding hoods

Sounds like you want it and at your age why deny yourself, it's about 1/2 price which is fair and it has a fast switch time, you have probaly spent more on less at some time in your life. I'd say go for it,,,cause that will end the wondering about it.

Geezer you are the MAN.
I posted this question on a couple of other sites and the response has been positive about the quality and value of the helmet iy seems the only down side is that the head gear may slip a bit with age but hell I do that at my age too.
and you are almost right when you say I have at some point in my life. Truth be told I have spent more on way less at MOST points but I enjoyed the crap out of all of it.
I emailed the guy and will try to meet him tomorrow to get it.

I’m a big Speedglas fan.

I’ve had a bottom of the range Speedglas Utility helmet for over 10 years and I really like it. It’s been perfectly reliable but it’s not really suited for TIG (and I recently bought an Everlast PP205). So I just purchased the top of the range Speedglas 9100xx and I’m really happy with that also. It should be the last helmet I ever buy.

After my long-time welder mate tried the 9100xx, he sold his Kemppi helmet and bought a Speedglas as well.

You will not be disappointed with the 9002x.

Nice looking helmet, I have to admit , I'm a bit jealous, will you ever let me use it if I ever drop by? If that helmt doesn't make you a better welder at least it will make you look like one. I think you bought right at that price. Enjoy the good things in life.

You can use it any time .
I guess you have never seen me or my welds, It will take a lot more then that or any helmet to make either look good.

I will do that my first impression is good but Im new at this but like the fit better then the HF I have now and It seems the optics are somewhat cleared and better focused.
I do have the dreaded and seemingly common helmet creep where the hood does not stay up when it should but I found that 3M / Speedglas has a fix for that. I ordered one and when it comes in and I install and use it I will let you know how that works.
