Reply:I just flip my ponytail up it works well. Heard Duane has a shower curtain on his helmet.
Reply:I used to have a 1x2 foot piece of towel duct taped to the back of an old hood... anymore I just weld blind if I'm in a hurry


Reply:Are you talking sun? or another welder reflecting into your helmet?Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
Reply:Sun, shop lights, just that annoying glare that reflects back in your face from the inner sides of the hood. It seems the older I get the harder it is to deal with it.Last edited by CAVEMANN; 11-12-2018 at 10:10 PM.IMPEACH BIDEN!NRA LIFE MEMBERUNITWELD 175 AMP 3 IN1 DCMIDSTATES 300 AMP AC MACHINEGOD HELP AMERICA!“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream".RONALD REAGAN

Reply:Which one?A pancake fits around your eyes like a pair of cutting goggles. The Speedglas has a cloth hood that goes around your head for the positive air flow.

That wood is pretty uncomfortable, though.Last edited by TimmyTIG; 11-13-2018 at 11:00 PM.

The pancake.  I always thought it was just the front and side.  I did not know they had a piece contoured or molded to the shape of the face.  Now I can see how it works to block glare by looking at that picture you posted.  Thank you.
