YESWELDER Large Viewing True Color Solar Powered Auto Darkening Welding Helmet with SIDE VIEW, 4 Arc Sensor Wide Shade 4/5-9/9-13 Welder Mask for TIG MIG ARC Grinding Plasma LYG-Q800D

I'm going to give an honest review here. I've used various helmets over the years. Older style helmets solid lens, harbor freight auto-darkening, mid range, and top end name brand helmets. This one is probably the best helmet I've ever used, with a couple of asterisks next to that statement.First off, the lens. Clear and untinted with a wide view angle. You can see everything before welding. It gives almost the same view as if you were wearing a motorcycle helmet. It darkens very quickly, and with a range wide enough to weld at almost any amperage with the perfect view. The selection of weld/cut/grind modes seems to be nearly perfect in their function. Easily one of the best lenses and views on the market.This leaves us with the only downside, the strap. Keep in mind, this ain't a major downside. The strap is much better than any cheaper helmet by a wide margin, making it the best bang for the buck. The knobs to tighten it feel just a touch cheap, but work OK, and it is placed in a very slightly awkward place in the helmet. The only time you'll notice this is if you like to wear your band up higher on your helmet, as it'll put the lens close enough to your face when you flip it down to touch your nose. Almost all helmets do this, but even 1/4" of a difference is noticeable when it comes to strap placement. Simple fix, wear the strap lower on your forehead.

As a fitter that has been around hoods that can cost $600+, I was worried about the quality on this one but it was for my dad that’s a hobby/farm welder. He doesn’t need anything fancy and won’t spend hours and hours a day under the hood.I was really impressed with the field of view and once I put the cheater lenses inside of them; I was even more impressed. The headband is comfortable and the color is spot on while you’re welding. If my shop hood ever goes out I’ll likely buy one for myself. You can’t beat the price.

I am a professional fabricator and weld a lot.Pros. The price vs what you get. This is a deal especially for a student, amateur welder or someone that welds part time. For the welder that takes care of their equipment, this helmet would work. This helmet comes with a very, very comfortable headband that is simple and easy to adjust. You can wear this helmet for hours. The auto darkening lense is the best operating lense I have had so far. I haven't been flashed once yet in two weeks of operating this unit and its shade is equal across the lense. This helmet is lightweight and feels better balanced than other helmets I have had.Cons. There is a slight level of visual distortion from the outer plastic lense. It has not been an issue while welding as its not enough of a factor to impede welding. The helmet feels thin and flimsy compared to other helmets, but on the upside, I don't think it'll crack as flexible as it is.

The helmet itself works great. The screen seems to flicker every once in awhile. Don’t know why. Usually it stops after waiting a minute or two. It’s comfortable. Everything works great. My only real issue is the amount of cleaning the inside lenses I have to do. The front cover screen as well. Every few hours I have to wipe them all down to see clearly. Didn’t have this issue with other helmets before this one. Front cover screen has to be taken off to clean quite a bit. For some reason the inside gets really dirty and dingy. Also a problem I never had before. Overall tho it’s a great helmet for the price. Does just as good as the Lincoln and miller helmets. Would definitely buy again

This is an excellent value for a welding hood!! The headgear is very comfortable, clarity while welding is amazing. I'll buy 5 of these vs my other hoods.. ie: Snap-On, Lincoln Viking.. Those are $300-$400 hoods all day and I'd rather use this one every day of the week.

Had bought the yeswelder cheaper helmet, wasn’t very impressed. Head gear broke, autoshade stopped working, disappointed for sure. But their customer service is top notch!! Replaced whole helmet no questions just had to email copy of Amazon order. Anyways. Trying to make long story short, it was time to order new lenses and head gear cause surprise…. It broke again.. said well I’ll try the “next step up”. This damn thing is amazing! Awesome colors from the auto shade, the side view is awesome ( caught some co workers shenanigans! They won’t be trying that again!) and the head gear feels more robust! With the awesome customer service and trying two different styles from them, I’d 100% suggest the little extra cost and get this helmet!!

Really happy with how well this helmet works, great visibility, adjustability of fitment & darkening settings. Great visibility & comfort. Glad I found this unit, for the price not sure it can be beat

The tightening mechanism for this welder helmet will mess up. It will stop tightening or it will stop loosening, but it will mess up on you so enjoy your helmet until that part messes up. I got in touch asking how to fix it. The offer was ,will send you a new free headset. The offer was withdrawn once they found out the order was placed over a year ago and they were giving me a link to buy a new headset. I only got in touch asking how to fix something that they are well aware is a problem with their product. They could make a tutorial on how to fix it instead they just wants you to buy a new headset for it.When I first bought this helmet, the knob in the back would not work from the get go. They sent me a new one and it worked fine until a week ago just all of a sudden quit loosening. Everything else works fine except it is now super tight on my head being very uncomfortable.
