ESAB 0700000800 Sentinel A50 Welding Helmet, Black Low-Profile Design, High Impact Resistance Nylon, Infinitely-Adjustable, Color Touch Screen Controls, 3.93" x 2.36" Viewing Lens

I do not weld or work as a professional welder who does production work for several hours a day. I do have a small fabrication shop and in many cases will need to weld a of a couple hours a day. Over my years of welding I have had several different helmets ranging in quality from name brands like Hobart and Miller to inexpensive Asian brands. I recently experienced eye surgery and wanted to get a quality helmet with enough room for eye glasses. I did a lot of research and selected this helmet. It is fantastic! Lightweight great field of vision. Easy to use controls. Extremely comfortable. The grind function is great and the various weld settings allow a wide range of adjustments to suit your vision. I'm able to able to see weld puddles much clearer with this helmet making my work a lot easier and in my opinion better quality. This helmets clarity has made a definite improvement with my TIG work. I know this helmet is expensive compared to many others but I have seen a marked Improvement in the quality of my work. I have also experience less eye fatigue at the end of a welding session. I feel this is a good quality safe helmet. The way I look at it you only have one pair of eyes so anything that helps protect them is worth the investment.

I love this helmet. I couldn't decide between this and the Panoramaxx so I bought both. This one has killer head gear with the ability to fine tune the tightness for an excellent tight fit that doesn't squeeze your brains out and give you the killer pressure headache with other ratcheting tightening systems. It also has in and out adjustment so you can pull it away from your face to fit a face mask if you need or make it very close for the best visibility. View area is good, but I wish this had the Panoramaxx area. Responsive shade and memory functions so you can easily setup profiles for each welding type you're doing. I also LOVE that it comes with multiple extra lenses in both clear AND yellow. Every other helmet you have to buy them separately so I really appreciated that. Haven't had it flash me and the arc sensors are very fast acting don't have to close your eyes while you strike up an arc. Also comes with a very decent helmet bag, not a crappy ones that tear if you look at it wrong. I actually use it. All in all, this is a 100% buy for pros, hobbyist or anyone else who needs a great fitting, well kitted out helmet. I do recommend this over the Panoramaxx for a few main reasons - one, better adjustability. The ratchet system on the Pano isn't fine enough and it's always too loose or too tight. My head is between the adjustment. This one let's you fine tune it for the perfect firm grip and distance from your face. And it's comfy! Second, this comes with extra lenses both inside and outside. Everyone else makes you buy them separately and this you're getting 4 extra with the box! Both yellow and clear. Third, this has a detent that keeps the lid up when you're not using so you're not constantly having to pull it back up while not welding. It stays up great and a firm flick of the head is enough to overcome the detent and cover up. Last, the sensors are great. They don't turn on when you look at a light nor does it flicker. The color is great and the shade works like a champ. Definitely buy this guy. You'll be mega happy you did.

I have been welding for about 15 years now, not professionally. I've usually stuck with a cheaper helmet because I didn't see the need to drop $350 on a hobby. After using this one I really wish I had bought one sooner. I have bought 3 helmets in the past year and two of them were just trash. One was even like $150 and it flashed me so many times in one day of welding I got really fed up and bought this one. The quality and function is a pretty drastic difference. I am using this for about 95% TIG, 5% MIG. I have gone as low at 45 amps and this helmet has no problems dimming reliably, I have been flashed zero times so far. The touchscreen controls have also functioned well, but I also really don't adjust them very often. The viewing area is a little smaller than what I am used to but the clarity and color are way better than anything I have had before. The headgear is also extremely comfortable. I've worn this for a 3 or 4 hour stint crawling around under my car and I barely notice it. My old helmet would frequently give me headaches because I had to ratchet it down so tight to stay on my head when crawling around in various positions. The open detent is solid and stays up My only complaint is that I have to be more careful when putting it down because it will easily roll onto the front shield. But really with it being more comfortable, I find myself taking it off less.

This is an excellent hood. If you're on the fence, you should get it. The picture is insanely clear. It's like those HD lenses that sharpen everything lol you can see every little thing happening in your weld! Really only downside is that the replacement lenses are a bit pricey but you get 2 clear and 2 yellow so I'll cross that bridge when I get there. Also, it's super lightweight and sturdy. The touch screen is also really nice, very responsive like a phone. I weld for a fabrication shop and I'm beyond happy with this hood. I've let my friends weld with it and everyone loves it. I've welded with plenty Lincoln hoods and yeah they're nice but you're getting better technology and for a better price. Quality is undeniable. It doesn't feel cheap in any aspect.

Mascara de excelente qualidade, leve, resistente e prática. Muito precisa e rápida! Os ajuste são bons e usuabilidade muito boa, as baterias duram bem. Entrega super rápida

Tapa muy bien la luz exterior para que no te moleste, el campo de visión y la claridad de la misma es excelente, es comoda y tiene muy buena respuesta de oscurecimiento. Probe una speedglass y la devolví por que no me convencía el precio por lo que ofrecia, probé esta y ya tengo careta para muchos años 😁

Hands down the nicest helmet i have owned in my career. Very comfortable and well worth the money. I have a bad neck and its lightweight is a huge savior. I highly recommend, also the customer service is top notch as well

Amazing vision , I use it to tack on every day , it’s light weight and has a lot of settings , I use my air fed speed glass to weld , only down side out side protector screen can scratch easy,

Utilisé en milieu professionnel. Seul bémol, lorsque j’ai enlevé le film de protection de l’écran intérieur, des traces des messages de précautions sont restées présentes. Sinon, je le recommande. Très bon produit. Utilisé depuis quelques mois à raison de 7 h par jour.
