Best headgear?

admin

What is the best headgear you guys have used? I like my new helmet but don't care for the headgear. The optrel headgear is nothing too special, the Jackson balder is nice but pulls on my hairs for some reason, the miller is ok at best. Wondering how the new lincoln Viking one is and what else is out there that you guys have used and liked?Torchmate 2x2 CNC with Flashcut CNC controlsHypertherm Powermax45 Esab ET220i Razorweld 195 MigRazorweld 200ac/dc TigTormach 770, Tormach xstechRazorweld, Vipercut/Vipermig, SSC Foot Pedal Dealer
Reply:I have the jackson 370 in 3 differnt hoods. 1 jackson, 1 cheap hobart big window, and a pipeliner. Better than the factory ratchet or rubber band in the pipeliner and way better than the factory hobart head gear. I always wear a welding hat under my hood so I cant comment on the hair pulling. IMO.
Reply:Jackson 370 hands down.
Reply:I like the old style miller headgear with their foam rubber pad on the back, and a foam pad on the front. I had the new miller headgear and didn't like it.Welding/Fab Pics: www.UtahWeld.com

Reply:Jackson 370 is nice, it does pull the hair if you're using it without a hat though.
Reply:The Speedglas headgear is pretty darn good,But you have to take the time to get it fit for your head. Its not like the old headgear just height and clamp, the Speedglas has a lot of adjustments spend the time fitting it and you will learn to love it.Syncrowave 180 SDMillermatic 250XSnap On MW 120 Econopac 50Victor O/A with some Smith Attachments 30 X 50 shop with a 400 Amps
Reply:All depends on you. Work pants, boots, gloves, helmets/headgear.....  Everyone is different. I personally bought more types of helmets the first year than I did the next 20.. And what's worse, different preferences for different jobs/processes.   Good luck and happy hunting !Lincoln vantage 300Lincoln invertec v 275sLN 25 feeder
