Help me find a new welding filter.

I am looking for a replacement lens for my hood, I had a American Optics Cobalt Blue lens given to me 10 years ago, and this weekend it was taken back because my Dad broke his.

American optics is out of business and I have been told by a couple of supply houses that cobalt lenses are not being made anymore. Does anybody have any suggestions for a replacement that will filter to a blue color like my old lens did, I used a green lens this weekend and it is much harder for me to follow the puddle.

99% of the time I use a 10 shade, my hood takes a 2 x 4 1/4 lens.


Thanks for the help.

I like the gold coated lenses personally.

The cobalt blue is gold coated, I picked up a gold coated lens on Friday, the problem is they have a orange/green tint to them when your working. I want something that filters out to strictly blue.
