Fibre-Metal by Honeywell

Great hood! Fits great! Rarely fogs up! Wouldn’t use a different hood!

Great standard sugar scoop welding helmet. Thrown in your favorite auto darkening lenses and your good to go.

I've been taking an intro welding course and plan to attend technical school for the same, so I wanted a welding hood of my own. I first ordered a Tigerhood because I liked the flip-up lens, not knowing there were other differences between that model and this one. I was pretty disappointed with the Tigerhood - it's made of floppy thermoplastic and pretty big. I've heard it's good for doing overhead welding for that reason. But I'm doing most of my welding in front of me at about sternum height, and the Tigerhood gets in the way doing that kind of stuff. The Tigerhood's headgear also came apart during class.I exchanged it for this one. After handling this Pipeliner I think the Tigerhood I got had a problem with the hinge. I switched out the Pipeliner hinge screws for some knurled metal ones either way, but the hinge screws on this one, while plastic, felt very, very solid.I'm a lot happier with the Pipeliner. It feels like how I was expecting it to feel. The construction is pretty good - I saw some people had problems with the edges of their hood being unfinished and jaggedy but everything looks OK on mine. The cream-colored paintjob is fine too - pretty poor surface finish but who cares, it's gonna get beat up anyway. The headgear had some rough spots on the band from the molding process - a quick xacto trim cleared it up. I'll probably end up chopping the bottom a little but as it is this will suit me just fine.

Classic "sugar scoop" welding helmet that will last you a lifetime if you keep the headgear up. Put an auto-lens in it and ignore all the cheap/modern looking helmets. Your welds will magically look like you are an old timer welder. :)

Great hood very durable and light weight, i highly recommend it to anyone looking to buy one for themselves. I use it for school and projects at home great hood but pair up with a good lens and your golden!!

Desde Spain EU: La mascara es muy poco conocida aquí en España, este tipo de mascara no suelen ser muy comunes y no se ven ni se usan en herrería. Pesa poco y es muy resistente, el cristal es de sombra 10, perfecto para el trabajo de soldar. Se puede poner un visor automático de Autodarking ya que él espacio interior es de la misma medida, lo cual le da una ventaja extra sin tener que levantar la masca para poder posiciónar el electrodo. Me gusta porque cubre muy bien todas las partes de la cabeza es redondeada y las chispas resbalan. El sistema de cambio del cristal es un poco difícil de quitar, hay que hacer algunas maniobras complicadas y ponerlo otra vez (el cristal) es igual de difícil pero no permite que él cristal se mueva, lo cual es excelente . Por lo demás es resistente y ocupa poco espacio. Si me preguntas si la recomiendo comprar, si, te la recomiendo porque funciona bien, pero también tengo que avisarte que tendrás que acostumbrarte a este tipo de máscara. No es como las baratas.

These hoods haven’t changed design in many years, for a reason! Headgear is nice and comfortable, does the job well!
