Large View Auto Darkening Welding Helmet, Blue Light Blocking, 1/1/1/1 True Color Solar Powered Welder Hood Mask with 4 Arc Sensors, Wide Shade 3/5-9/9-13 for TIG MIG ARC Cut and Grind

First time purchase of a welding helmet. I am an online and self taught hobbyist. I wanted an auto darkening, adjustable, reasonably priced unit. This helmet delivers that. Comfortable, not heavy, optics performed flawlessly with a great viewing area that I experienced. The tightening knobs on the sides of the helmet (to keep it flipped up) aren't the strongest in build, but do the job if you crank them down to the point you fear breaking them. Is it "pro" grade? I'd guess that the plastic shroud, headband and tightening knobs are not quite that robust, but the optics seem very much so. Great range of adjustment (I used a 100 watt clear glass incandescent bulb to simulate an arc light for initial testing) with adequate delay and darkness ranges. I've worn "pro" hard hats for quite some time so it's a fair comparison as far as suspension and adjustments. For the price? Fantastic value and I've got around 5 hours of welding (actual arc in use) and have had zero issues with it.

This is a quality find at a very reasonable price. I love the very fast bigger screen that will shut itself off when you set it down for 20 minutes. It has the usual electrical adjustments but what is really nice are the four different adjustments to the position of the helmet. I was able to adjust the helmet support so I could have goggles on over my bifocals all of the time I am welding. I can flip it up and grind without getting debris in my eyes. It is light enough, I can wear it for hours and just move through my projects with out taking it off and on.

Bought this along with two other Yeswelder helmets and an ArcCaptain helmet. All of which have the larger viewing lens. I needed to see In real time if the helmet would work with my eyeglasses. So I bought all four to try on. My previous helmet was a cheaper YesWelder that had a smaller lens, fogged easily in humidity and I struggled to see my welds. This particular helmet has the same cheaper head strap design and tightening knob in the back. It works for me as a diy welder. The strap on every helmet I bought, arrived warped out of shape. It’s has ample room inside for my prescription glasses. I didn’t choose to keep this helmet but it seemed like a decent option for the price and the black yellow dot design was cooler in person than what I expected. I don’t really care for the yellowish tinted lens. For the price, this is a decent helmet overall. The helmet ended up choosing was the ArcCaptain seen in the last few pics. Better viewing area, more internal clearance, better adjustment knobs. The last pic shows the adjustment straps compared with YesWelder on the left and ArcCaptain on the right. Welded with the ArcCaptain last night and I can finally see my welds clearly.

The Helmet is very good, and the auto darkening is very fast reacting. Amazing quality for the price, I love it. The sensors work great and I’m in love with the design I got many compliments on it.

The color of this looks way better in person than the pictures. Used it today building a workbench in my shop. It worked just fine. The bigger lens makes visibility a lot better. I'm not a professional welder. But I've been building bumpers on my vehicles, workbenches, doing my own exhaust, building shelves and stuff like that for about 25 years. Today was my first day using it, hopefully it holds up

EDIT- Im pretty happy to report that yes welder reached out to me to ask me about the product and what happened. They offered me a full refund for the product since it seemed to be defective. They said they were sorry that this was my first impression and they hoped id give them another shot. You just dont see customer service like that anymore. They are apparently monitoring their reviews and taking action when things go wrong. That's almost unheard of these days. They didnt ask me to edit my feedback either. They just said they were sorry that was my first impression and they hoped the refund would convince me to try something else they make. I mean ... thats gold standard customer service thats what we all hope a company will do when we buy their product. For that alone they can have 5 stars back. Im just a hobby welder i fabricate things for me and friends so take my opinion with a grain of salt. HOWEVER, my father who taught me how to weld was a 40 year boilermaker and in the last 10 years of his welding career, an ICAR instructor certified, and the assistant dean of votec at a community college heading...you guessed it...the welding program. So im not coming from total ignorance here. One. The helmet is cheap. Yes thats nice. But its cheap for a reason. Two the head gear on this thing will break almost immediately. I had it for three weeks I think and it broke I used it maybe 4 days in those 3 weeks maybe 5. Which is like ok so immediately spending another 20 bucks at least on top of the cost of this helmet. Three the control knobs on the outside of the mask leave a lot to be desired. They dont stay put well, they are very fiddly and like to move on their own messing with your settings. As well, the selector switch for weld cut grind mode is very very cheaply made so flimsy I almost dont want to swap modes ever for fear of breaking it. 4 the lenses on the big face helmets are like 2 mm different than most which means if ypu aren't careful about lense replacements you end up with a Crack that let's gunk onto your main screen so..either have to get specific lenses or clean it a lot more. Other than that stuff, so far the actual shade seems to work fine. It's not the best it doesn't have the best sensitivity etc but its 50 bucks ya know for what it does it does it fine. It's just the fit and finish leave a lot to be desired. If I did it all again, id get a lincoln viking or a Jackson or hobart or Miller.

It arrived the next day after placing the order. The helmet build seems solid with plenty of room for my respirator. It took a couple of minutes reading the instructions, but I figured out the settings. Once I started to run a bead it was evident that this helmet was a game changer. The field of view is amazing, but when you see the Tru Color and the clarity of the view! Wow it is something to behold. The control knobs are on the outside of the helmet, and very easy to adjust on the fly. the test button is on the inside which is nice that it is cause once you test, it is out of the way. The knobs that lock the helmet up really need to be tight, the sweet spot that holds it up and still lets you flip it down can be elusive. BUT with the view through the lens, I find I put it down and go to work. There is no need to do a lot of flipping. Its is a quality Helmet that works perfectly, the price is right, the build quality is evident, and the spare screen protectors are a plus. Get one!
