The clarity and brightness AND view outperform any welding hood ive used it runs circles aroubd my optrel and lincoln, i had this hood and it wore out a bit (still functions 100% after hundreds of hours if not thousands) i decided to upgrade to an optrel hood and it sucks compared to this, ive tried Lincoln, and i keep going back to this guy, its really shines when welding overhead, the only reason i attempted to walk away from it was because i wanted a flip style for grinding but honestly with the grind mode button on the outside, this is fine, i will never get rid of this thing and will buy it again if i breaks (i abuse mine and weld out of positions and its still holding 100% just dirty and scratched)
DO NOT EVEN BOTHER BUYING ANYTHING ELSE, THIS WORKS BETTER THAN $600 hoods
