Had been borrowing an L500A-series helmet for a few months and decided to buy one. It has everything I need/want: easy to adjust and great fit, true color view, very responsive darkening. Hard to imagine they can offer something this good for the price.
Very good coverage of face it has flash lens that helps if there a flash from welding.
I honestly got this helmet because I wanted to use it for my welding class. When I got, I was satisfied with its quality and performance. I haven't used it weld anything but I plan to do so soon.
First welding helmet I have bought. Easy to see when not welding and easier to see when welding.
I have had other helmets but I really like this one, very clear to see thru both when welding and not.So clear between welds I find myself reaching up to put down an already down helmet :)
