The headgear is the best I've ever worn. It has such a big footprint, that it really doesn't put pressure anywhere. Tell ya what though, as badass as this helmet is, fucker still won't keep beads out of your ear

I'd rather catch hands from Connor McGregor, ain't no way it could hurt worse On top of that, you've got to listen to your ear canal cook for a few seconds.Isn't that fun lol L
This was the last hood I bought before the fire. Def wasnt the most expensive but was nice.Isn't that fun lol L
I had the original miller auto in that same paint. Was a good helmet but you couldn't replace the batteries.This was the last hood I bought before the fire. Def wasnt the most expensive but was nice.

All my other hoods were the kind you snap onto a hard hat. Just like they used to make us do. Was bullshit. Like welding with a garbage can on your head. But they let the iron workers wear regular hoods. Lame!
I still flip down.....my boss busts my nuts every time he sees it. LOL habitsNice!! Anything auto darkening is a game changer. If I had to go back to a standard helmet I'd probably lose my balance and fall over
That Rocks!This was the last hood I bought before the fire. Def wasnt the most expensive but was nice.

Yeah I never understood those bubble eyed helmets. You're still looking through a standard little opening in the helmet. The only way to increase vision is to increase the size of the hole you're looking through.I had the original miller auto in that same paint. Was a good helmet but you couldn't replace the batteries.
I've got a few old minion looking ones from back in the day along with a few Jackson's laying around. At the shop someone left a esab auto.......the Ant-Man looking one.......odd I tried it and didn't like it as much as my Miller.
These are pretty much the same hoods we would get kicked down on jobsites.I still flip down.....my boss busts my nuts every time he sees it. LOL habits
Welding snowmaking pipe was when I learned to put latex gloves on under my leather. Fuck! That will light you up!These are pretty much the same hoods we would get kicked down on jobsites.

My personal best with that hood was 3 of them in a day. Fucking stick welding in the rain. Dishwasher gloves under leather gloves and shit. I would get bit hard and throw that motherfucker against something and destroy it. Grab another one and repeat. I had anger issues back then.
Yeah the story is allot longer than how i told it. But my buddy stuck his rod, popped up his hood looked down and our other buddy was bouncing on the ground.Welding snowmaking pipe was when I learned to put latex gloves on under my leather. Fuck! That will light you up!
I never knew anyone that died on the job. But interviewed with a guy in the am one day that liked my work and he said meet me at the pool table tonight to go over everything. We shot some pool discussed pay and whatnot. Was going to start on Monday. I left, he left....a bad ass storm came through.Yeah the story is allot longer than how i told it.

i would wear dish washer gloves under leather and it def helped allot but when you get bit through that not much else you can do lol.
Good friend of mine was almost killed on a job a few years back. Up in the bucket of a small bucket truck, torching off bolts for a big ass grocery store sign. Hydraulic control box didn't have a cover on it. Piece of slag found its way into the box, and sat on a line until it melted through. When it did, the line burst, and all the fluid coming out caught fire, and covered my friends upper body. He climbed out of the bucket, and started to shimmy down, but the fire was too much and he dropped. Landed on the corner of the truck box. Luckily there was snow on the ground, and a colleague put him out. 3rd degree burns on his back, numerous second degree burns, and where he hit the toolbox left a Cantaloupe sized knot around his ribs. Lucky to be alive.I never knew anyone that died on the job. But interviewed with a guy in the am one day that liked my work and he said meet me at the pool table tonight to go over everything.

I think I've told this part of the story before.....but me and my rottweiler where outside and lightning hit so close we both went flat on the ground.
That dude ended up going fishing on his boat after pool and they found him the next morning......got hit by that bolt of lightning.
I was subpoenaed twice as a witness in 2 murder trials and once as a defendant from work. The defendant was for issuing out the tool used in the murder.I never knew anyone that died on the job.
