I like this hood,really good on the work I’m doing,working on metal buildings and structure ,so the flip front is really nice,because we have to use a metabo a lot,it’s light and comfortable,the headband locks into place and holds the hood up well when measuring and walking around,Been a pipe welder for 20 something years,plants and pipeline,I’d weld pipe with this hood also especially on plant-uphill work,will keep it in my rig as a backup to my pancake,I did rivet a piece of leather on bottom to protect my neck,but I’ve always did that on any flip hood,believe I’m gon order another to keep in my shop at home
