    Been there, done that, too damn many times. What I want to know, what fuggin moron decided light green was a good color for a jacket? Worst burn I got since the Navy was welding up a brush guard for a friend's truck. Couldn't figure it out... then I realized it all of a sudden, it was reflecting up when I was in any position where my hood wasn't touching the jacket hard.

    Thinking about doing the same. I've already started to put together a piece of leather that will drape down the bottom of the helmet as a chin to block off light from reaching my neck and under the helmet. That should help keep me cooler in the summer too as I won't have to wear tight fitting clothing next to my neck.
    Is it OK to want to break something just so that you can weld it back together?

    Rod, when you say you wear black or white, do you mean shirt colors? I can't stand welding with a light colored shirt on, as the reflection is killer. Most of the time I try to wear a dark jacket or shirt, white shirts alone are blinding!
