Still grab my Jackson arc angel #10 when my expensive batteries all go dead at the same time. Welding on barges for many years. I learned from the old timers. Not to flick your head to lower your helmet. Use your other hand just above your lense to move the helmet back down. It's a habit worth getting into.
I do industrial maintenance in a large, old broken down wastewater facility. The welding that I do ranges from Aluminum TIG on a bench to hanging like Tarzan, burning rods on rusty old junk. I’m not saying I’m cool, or awesome, or the best at anything, just sharing what works for me: I like the cheapest black plastic 2”x4” hoods money can buy. I currently have three. I’d rather spend the money on nice lenses for them then pay for brand name plastic. They are very lightweight, durable, breathable, and disposable if…. Say…. It drops in a poo tank. I have one set up with an adjustable Lincoln auto darkening lens, 1.5x cheater lens and chopped bottom for bench work. I riveted soft leather on the bottom to replace about the bottom 4” of plastic as I hate the feeling of the hard plastic on my collar bones while looking down. I have one with a Miller shade 10 auto for general inside work. One with fixed gold shade 10 for outside. I have neck problems as well and don’t like flipping my hood down so I have gotten in the habit of using the flip front more. When the clear cover lenses get dirty, I replace them . They’re only.44¢. Not saying anyone should do what I do but it works for me. And the last time I bought one they were on sale for $13!!! I’m more interested in saving for retirement and providing for my family than looking cool with an expensive hood. a.co/d/0iXzTpg
Yes you are simply adorable to pick the same welding helmet I have used for years with a gold lens and seeing is believing Need the leather on it tho or you get the glare from Mr. sunshine 🌞 Why does anyone use green lenses is beyond me? For tig welding great lens.

I've been using Jackson hoods for over 30years. I've got the same hood and a 9gold lense. Love it.

The helmet that works for me is found in Ephesians 6:17 😁
