Well, they work great just make sure the clear lens is on the outside. When I bought my first one i didn't realize they had installed the clear protective lens on the inside. Lang story short, I had to buy a whle new helmet.

Alright, what's the business with protective lenses?
FYI I used to do gas and stick welding in past. Now I've a MIG welder and the mask provided is way too dark. There has been a gap of 20+ years or so in my welding experience. All the equipment is different nowadays.
I'd appreciate any information about welding helmets ... since I never had one before.

You can buy replacement clear protective len. If you look close you can see it. It should be on the outside of the self darkening lens.
