I've had mine for some time now, the paint wears off pretty easy.
It just makes it look gnarlier:evil:

I have the white skull and love it except, the window could stand to be a little bigger.

How much do those hoods weigh? I like them but they look like they may be heavy.

Can't stand those little lenses, only thing worse is an auto shade, those things suck. Looks cool tho. Never really worried about the fashion statement when sparking tho.

They are heavy. PITA to keep in position, i.e.- laying on your side to weld. Neat to look at, pain to use. I've had mine for about 2 years, used it twice. Want it?

that helmets looks badass.

i'm happy with my huntsman. it's auto darkening with a bigger viewing area than most. multiple shade with the turn of a dial. :beer:

i'm not here to make a fashion statement. i 'dresses' up my helmet by putting a marlin crawler sticker on it.

happy trails

I have a Hobart auto darkening one with the flames. It was $99 at Tractor Supply. It's suprisingly light. I wasn't happy with how thin the plastic was, but I haven't had any issues with it. I've never thought of the lens as being small. Maybe I'm just use to it. ~dso
