--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Im getting back into welding again after a long hiatus.I will be doing mil spec and aerospace welding quite extensively.I have an old speedglass XL helmet that will not last the year.I have been doing research on elec helmets and the vista 3000 caught my eye.Due to a neck injury I need a lighter then avg helmet ,I need to know how much one of these weigh,exactly if possible.
Reply:Welcome-Don't know for fact but I thought I read a post on one of these forums that the Vistas were heavy.I'll see if I can find the author.Ed Conleyhttp://www.screamingbroccoli.com/MM252MM211 (Sold)Passport Plus & Spool gunLincoln SP135 Plus- (Gone to a good home)Klutch 120v Plasma cutterSO 2020 benderBeer in the fridge
Reply:I have used one before, and it was maybe a little bit heavier... not to bad though.In the thread http://weldingweb.com/archive/index.php/t-22722.html someone mentioned it being heavier.The Welder Shop has great deals and reviews on Hobart, Miller and Lincoln Welders.
