Jackson Safety 370 Speed Dial Replacement Ratcheting Headgear for Welding Helmets - Oversized Adjuster, Adjustable Sliders, Hood Locks Up/Down, Rear Swivel Headband, Washable Sweatband - Made in USA

I bought this headgear to replace the upgraded headgear I had put into my fibermetal pipeliner. Let me start off by saying for my particular application I had to heavily modify my helmet, so going back to any previously used headgear is not an option. However, the headgear is cheap enough, and Kimberly Clark is a loyal enough company that I'm not too worried about worn out headgear not being available when needed. The headgear is very comfortable, the auto stop function works very well, strong enough to keep the helmet up even when looking down, but loose enough that with a quick movement of your head will send it down. I've had other headgear's that function with similar mechanics, but those wore out because they were cheaply made, just by the feel and by looking at it I can tell this one will last years longer. The headgear is very comfortable, and disperses the weight evenly across my head. The knob for adjusting the tension on the head strap is what I like the most though, it is big enough that even with large gloves you can turn it with ease, it also does not have to be pushed in before turning, which is another plus in my book. Definitely a great addition to my modified pipe liner, and if I ever have to I will have no problem buying it again.

Got this as it seemed like a well built head gear with a quality knob to thighten it. My cheap head gear on my welding helmet broke so this seemed like a nice replacement choice. It did not fit for my helmet at first, so I drilled bigger holes to fit the pivot screw shoulder and added two tiny holes for the adjustment pivot bracket so it was positioned the right way to work with openning and closing of the helmet. After that, I tried it and it work very well. Pro quality. There is a nice clicked open lock position feature that holds up the helmet up. Then, just a little swing of the neck and it closes to start welding fast. Very well designed, rear adjustment knob is big and easy to reach and find with gloves on.

Un buen producto

Very comfortable . Had to drill a little hole for the nipple that fits on side of mask . It didn't line up with original hole but no big deal . Good ajusting and hold mask up well.

Es buena y cómoda se mantiene donde la pones si soldar sobre cabeza la puedes bajar a la mitad u se mantiene sin problema no terminas cansado del cuello ni tienes problema de que se te esté bajando cuando estas haciendo otra cosa que es muy incomodo sobretodo cuando andas en alturas
