Review: Amazing clarity - Very high quality hood. It is clear and easy to adjust. I have no issue seeing the material even before it darkens. I have searched high and low for a hood like this and I'm happy I finally pulled the trigger and ordered this one.
Review: Replacement for Chinamart helmet - I destroyed my Speedglass 9000V. Gave a china mart helmet a chance got Arc burn and full Flash and this helmet was desertcarts top pick with over 1000 five star reviews put that thing in the trash had to stop work and let my eyes heal I purchased the Optrel vega view 2.5 this has to be the lightest helmet I have ever owned crystal clear view nice controls Quality made head gear the only down side for me is it has no place to mount a cheater lens . On the up side its a small helmet but my 3M respirator fits inside well with the soft cartridge filter. I will use this for MIG TIG Stick and plasma cutting and if the opportunity comes up maybe do some carbon air gouging we will see how well it holds up ? This helmet uses two CR2032 batteries and the cover plates are not cheap !

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best investment you'll ever make
*by S***A on August 23, 2020*

The positive; I'm a beginner to tig welding and had purchased what I thought to be a great helmet but boy was I wrong. This thing is super lightweight, flexible and the view through the lense is just AMAZING!!!! I really wasn't going to purchase this helmet because of the cost but decided my eyesight is worth more than the cost of this. I would say probably the best investment in a very long time. Buy this helmet you'll be glad you did. The negative; Though this is a fantastic helmet and being that the shape of everyone's face is different I should have purchased the panoramaxx version. When I put this helmet on I need to drop it down on my head mire than normal and having to put in a magnified lens it needs to be so close to my face I don't get a full view. That being said I could use a larger viewing area.
