Reply:I have hard hat mounts for my Jackson HSL100 hood and MSC hard hat.  You can get the mounts through Jackson or MSC.MM350P/Python/Q300MM175/Q300DialarcHFHTP MIG200PowCon300SMHypertherm380ThermalArc185Purox oaF350CrewCab4x4LoadNGo utilitybedBobcat250XMT304/Optima/SpoolmaticSuitcase12RC/Q300Suitcase8RC/Q400Passport/Q300Smith op

Reply:Everybody(Jackson, Fibremetal, Miller, Speedglas) makes hard hat adaptor kits.  My advice would be to make sure you get a light weight hood to mount to your hardhat.  For some reason, I had lots of trouble with my hardhad falling off when I mounted one of my heavier hoods to it.  My auto dark lens was right out.  I even swapped out a glass fixed shade filter for a lighter plastic one to lower the weight of the hood.  Once I did this everything worked fine.  Just my $0.02.Benson's Mobile Welding - Dayton, OH metro area - AWS Certified Welding Inspector
