anybody using a vista 3000?

admin

I have been shopping around for a auto darkening helmet and give my fibremetal pipeliner a rest,   I will be getting one for x-mas and the lincoln vista 3000  caught my eye along with the miller elite and digi elite, I am also looking at the speedglass but I have found reviews on all but the vista 3000, I know it is a little heavier which is one of the main things that is worrying me since I had a wreck in 04 and my neck was broke and I am just trying to hear from some guys using one of how good they are compared to the restthanks,Aaric
Reply:I'm not sure what a Lincoln Vista 3000 hood is, it's not on their website.  The Lincoln-branded hoods they well at Lowe's and Home Depot are Jackson hoods with the Lincoln name on them.I swapped my Jackson HSL100 shell for a new Halo-X shell and the new shell is noticeably lighter than the old one.MM350P/Python/Q300MM175/Q300DialarcHFHTP MIG200PowCon300SMHypertherm380ThermalArc185Purox oaF350CrewCab4x4LoadNGo utilitybedBobcat250XMT304/Optima/SpoolmaticSuitcase12RC/Q300Suitcase8RC/Q400Passport/Q300Smith op

Reply:I've been considering an auto dark helmet for some time as well. The Vista was on my list. It looks like vista has been replaced by Viking on Lincoln's website.JasonLincoln Idealarc 250 stick/tigThermal Dynamics Cutmaster 52Miller Bobcat 250Torchmate CNC tableThermal Arc Hefty 2Ironworkers Local 720
Reply:I sent them a email I am going to find out guess I will have to go with the next option the elite or digi elite if they no longer make them
Reply:I found them a little bit heavier than I like, tried a bunch at the LWS and finally went with the Miller Performance series, they are by far the most comfortable hood I've ever put on, now I just gotta cover up the Miller insignia before my father in law gives me **** for using a miller hood with my lincoln welders............looking at new trucks while carrying two car seats around the parking lot to "test fit".......humiliating.
