auto dark/helmet

admin

I know this has probaby been asked before but: I see harbor freight has their auto darkening helmet on sale for 49.99 down from 79.99 not sure of the specs on it. But are these a decent helmet I hate to skimp on safety gear and with the prices of other helmets reaching 300 or so it makes me a little concerned to buy one for 50. Thanx chas specs on helmet I believe are from a #4 to #9-13 in 1/20,000 sec.Last edited by chasman; 03-08-2009 at 10:23 AM.
