It was an anniversary present. I ordered it because someone said the pancake helmet might help me weld outside because of the ambient light.The man said it would be 4 to 6 week delivery because he is running a little behind in filling his orders- someone must have ordered a lot. I will let ya'll know how I like it when it comes in.

Reply:It is a type of welding helmet. You can see it at : (wendyspancakes.net)I heard it was a good helmet to wear outside because it blocked out the ambient light that comes in behind the helmet and is preferred by a lot of pipe-liners. I have never seen one and thought I would give it a try. I ordered the auto model that you can install an Auto Darkening lens in if you prefer. I will use the regular lenses for awhile first and maybe the auto later.
Reply:Yes I can see how it would block all ambient light from behind. It looks a little bulky though. I guess it would be OK so long as you didn't do any overhead. Steam buildup condensing on the inside when you're in the hot sun? Chafing your sweaty face? They said trains would never catch on because the human body could never tolerate more than twenty miles per hour. Sorry, but it looks like a silly piece of coonpoop to me. I've been wrong many times before though.
Reply:I have one. It must be 20 years old now. It will fit places you will never get a hood into and it works extremely well overhead. It also puts less strain on your neck muscles. Originally they were for welding pipe and designed for protecting the ear and keeping glare out of the hood. Part of the reason it takes a while to get one is because each one is hand made. They work great with a fixed shade auto lens.The difference between art and craft is the quality of the workmanship. I am an artist.
Reply:Thanks for the input Jolly Roger. I feel a lot better about ordering it now. I ordered the hood because I need all the help I can get.
