I've been welding since the late seventies, and most helmets are horrible. I was surprised by the claim "true color" and the size of the window, especially when you consider the low price. I paid over $350 my ESAB Sentinel, so I thought this would be my back-up. I was shocked when it out-performed my Sentinel. Better ventilation, lighter, no glare, and true color!!! I can SEE!!! It is now my primary, and the way more expensive Sentinel is now my backup. Three of my friends have bought one now and they all say the very same thing. This is by far the best helmet out there, especially at this price.
