Lincoln Electric K3419-1 Glossy VAR 7-13 W/Grind ADF Helmet, Capacity, Volume, Polycarbonate, 11.12 x 10.25 x 11.87, Black (

Got it in today. Ordered the glossy black but got the “lone star”. Not a big deal, will still serve its purpose

This is an excellent hood. It responds quickly, is light weight and comfortable to use all day.

Very slow dimming, flashes hard before going dark. Sent it back. My 25 year old Lincoln helmet works better than this new one.

Great welding helmet. I like Lincoln products alot. Good quality and very durable for home use or professional use.

I think this is my favorite helmet so far.

Despite its much higher price it is made just as cheaply as competing chinese brand helmets

Very good welding helmet at this price range. Very happy! Only suggestion I would make would be to ask for the same model in matte... Gloss takes a beating on the jobsite or shop

Im not a real welder. I weld things now and then, and I can do an okay weld when I need to. I had an Antra dimming helmet with specs similar to this ones. It was okay, but it was slow to darken and would quit working without warning. This helmet feels solid but not heavy. The band is wide and comfortable. The nod-to-drop works very well. The undimmed view is very good, brighter than the Antra. Dimming is so fast that its seamless transition from undimmed room light to dimmed arc light. I dont see the arc at all before dimming. This uses standard batteries and the batteries are accessible and very easy to replace. This was very welcome, as the Antra used flat coin batteries and it was absolutely awful to open it up to change batteries. I compare because the Antra was less than half the price and that was attractive for an occasional welder. This Lincoln Electric helmet was expensive for me, but I should have bought this helmet the first time. Its more than I wanted to pay, but I feel safer.

A well made helmet but is too dark when TIG welding steel. You have to barely adjust off of the grind setting to use. Compared to an Antra that has 3-5 and 9-13 darkness settings.

Title said it all. Its comfortable Lightweight Very clear Comfortable ratcheting head gear Easy to swing closed by nodding your head... You can actually hear and feel the gears. When upright it doesnt tend to fall downwards unintentionally like cheaper no name helmets. Its a really good comfortable helmet. Goes up to shade 13. For around $100 you cant go wrong. Its Lincoln quality. Works great highly recommended.
