Hello - Just thought it would be a good idea to get a simple backup helmet just in case, and am looking at a simple Jackson Shadow w-10 HSL-2 with flip up front and to augment that, purchasing most likely a ArcOne SS240- 10.5 or 11.0 auto filter lens ( 2" x 4.35 " x .5 ( the SS240 is thicker by just a tad than the single S240 lens ) … and wondering if anyone uses this setup and/or if they know if the filter lens will fit this Jackson helmet and if it would require or not a **** load of mods or stacking of covers or whatever ? The guys selling the helmet are not sure of the ease of a match and the folks selling the filter lens are not sure as well. Also, are there other auto lens out there that would offer a superior fit and overall quality ? - Any input very much welcomedEDIT Update : I have since found ArcOne's Information Owner's Booklet : http://www.aceintl.com/pdf/arconeusermanual.pdfWhich explains the ArcOne lens offered, specs, differences and the helmets they sell that will fit their various lens sold. Apparently the Super Singles lens (SS) do not fit a flip up helmet. At least not theres as the SS lenses offer Off/On & Delay modes for spot welding whereby the Single lens S240 do not and will fit in a flip up front helmet.Last edited by FLASHGORDON; 03-12-2016 at 03:01 PM.
Reply:I was given one of those Jackson hoods with the flip front and hated it so much. Always felt like the view was like 1/2" too low compared to my eyes. Some people like them though. I also have an inexpensive hardware store flip front hood that will fit an auto dark lens. It has a very flexible plastic retainer that can accept regular lenses or the thick auto dark lens. There is another thread about the arc one lens right now. All this arc one talk just,made me order an s240-12.IAMAW Local 330Airco 300 AC/DC HeliwelderAirco Dip-Pak 200 with Profax spool gunPowr-Kraft AC225Everlast PowerArc 200stBuffalo Forge No.21 drill pressSpeedglas 9100xxAirco, Oxweld, Purox, Victor torchesLincoln Ranger 8 |
