Technical welding helmet question

Where can I buy a decent auto-darken welding helmet at a fair price? U.S.A. made. No HF.
Thanks for any advice.

 

There are a lot of choices, but I like to get one with a replaceable battery, a big lens area, and a built in clip for a cheater lens. I currently have Hobart Inventor series helmet that can be found in the plus / minus $100 range. Hobart has several helmets with replaceable batteries starting at around $75.

 

Cyberweld usually competes pretty well for everything you need.

 

biggest thing to watch for is a decent head gear, those cheesy head gears that wont hold the helmet up are so frustrating. I would never buy a helmet without trying it on first. Miller has a good one.

 

My last 2 have been kobalt from Lowe's. Never had seen issue

 

I bought a huntsman with the big hole and put in an insert lens, I’ve had it for over 25 years. Not sure what they go for now, I think back then I was into it for around 150 at the welding supply store

 

I can't remember what I paid for this, but I am thinking it was less than $100 on Amazon. It is a "true color" helmet with the big lens. I am more than happy with it. It is a YesWelder brand. The true color seems to be much easier on my eyes.

 

I bought one of the clear view auto darkening from Eastwood and I luv it.

Around 100. But the clear view is the best part. It doesnt have the green tint when looking thru it or welding.

Buy another in a heart beat.

 

I currently have two Speedglas hoods, and I was recently contemplating an ESAB Sentinel becasue of the larger viewing area, but the Speedglas ones are great.
