This lightweight Tigerhood Classic Thermoplastic Welding Helmet features the unique Speedy Loop Hard Hat Mounting System. Designed to allow quick and easy donning and removing of your welding helmet while working, the Speedy Loop is fully adjustable to fit any style of hard hat. No tools or modifications are necessary. The Tigerhood Classic includes all the features popular in today’s modern welding environments. Molded from Noryl for high heat resistance, the smooth, seamless shell is specially designed to shed sparks and spatter that might present a burn-through risk. The safety-first design extends downward to protect the throat, and combines a straight & curved front to block fumes and smoke. Welding equipment needs to be tough, and the Tigerhood Classic doesn't disappoint. The color is molded in to eliminate any chance of fading, peeling or chipping. And the silver coating exceeds industry standards for abrasion and weathering. Suitable for most overhead welding applications, the Tigerhood Classic also delivers superior vision. The molded-in glass holder features a unique, lift-up telescoping lid which also provides a seal against light-leak. The helmet interior is also roomy enough to comfortably accommodate protective spectacles or respirators. A shade 10 welding lens is included. Meets ANSI Z87.1 and CSA Z94.3 standards.

So I've been welding over 10 years now.I own the Lincoln 3350. Miller Digital Elite. Jackson Safety and so on.I've recently started using fixed shades and different hoods since I'm planning to make some employment changes. This is officially my go to. I know I just got it(the hard hat combo to noted as well) but I used it today doing what I do. I dont plan on going back to previous hoods. This lid is strong. Durable. Simple to be used and operate. The lens that came with it is an awesome plus. I expected good old green. More towards crimson. I could practically see the arcs dancing on the tungsten.The fitting is solid. The hard hat part at least since i have the mount but not the headgear(yet)Its a bit heavy on a 12 hour day but I wouldnt trade that out. To me thats strength and conditioning on my end. Comfort is mild but not a headache. Then again. I've only used 2 hoods that were really comfortable, so I may be spoiled.But. To anyone who wants a well rounded helmet. This is it.*To all new welders reading this*This is a great starting hood as well. It may take practice getting used to but dont forget your lens flips up and down. You're not always dark 😆But i plan on buying some auto lens in all this. But this is it. Another thing for new welders to consider is...sure. it doesn't have a massive auto lens like a miller or Lincoln, but I can tell you from experience that its not always worth it. I've worked in some tight and complex places. Even welded and used a mirror to do do. Due to some of my angles, my auto lens arc sensors didnt always sense the arc. So id be blinded part of my weld and running off of small squint visions and instant picture memory of were the metal is being fused. The shape and size of these lens make it much easier to detect an arc if you choose to run with an auto on this hood.I hope you guys choose this hood. Good. Dependable. Sturdy. Cant beat it.

Great quality, I beat the crap out of mine everyday and it just doesn’t care. Get some good aluminum screws, the plastic ones strip out. Also get a good leather or cloth headband for the best comfort

Union Ironworker -This hood is pretty decent for the price. The lens it comes with is a standard shade 10 that performs well for 1/8 and 5/32 stick. I haven’t burned wire with this hood and I did add a tradesmen auto darkening 2x4 drop in right away which I also like very much.My only problem with this hood is the plastic hardware that fastens the headgear to the hood. It won’t allow you to tighten it enough to get it from dropping onto your face when you need it to remain up. I bought third party aluminum hardware and added a small amount of medium strength locktite and that has helped tremendously.With the new aluminum hardware I was able to tighten the halo position more but it also led to a small crack in the side of the hood forming. This could be from getting bumped on my head or in a gang box while being stored too. Either way, be aware that the plastic does have the ability to crack especially in low temperatures like we experience in Denver.Overall I recommend this hood to other Ironworkers and tradesman who weld. Spending $300 on a hood set up that will absolutely get beat up working in the conditions my trade presents did not appeal to me. This was a solid alternative.

Perfect for Ironworkers. The flip lens allows you to grind. Fits auto darkening lens with slight modification.

My go to hood. Durable, basic. You can get optional auto dark lense for this if you look around. Been using this hood for 18 years. It has never let me down. There are other hoods out there but this one has never let me down.You can also find parts for these at reasonable prices. Would I buy again? Yep.

Comfortable and secure. It has the good head band in it. not the cheap rubber band type. Get you a rag to wrap around the forehead piece and you're good to go

I have been a welder all my whole career of 40 years. I have also used these welding hoods all my career. By far this is the worst one I have bought. The flip up lenses is so tight it will lift the hood off of your head. The head gear will not tighten on the hood. The head gear has also fell apart while using it.

This is a regular welding helmet and not a auto-set when you strike an arc.
