Yeah, for that money I'd say it better come standard with one or two nude dancers.

Definitely expensive. They claim to be the greatest brand on the market, a claim I believe. But almost impossible for anyone except bigger businesses to afford.

I used to get a speed glass supplied by my old employer back in the late 90’s. Great helmet back then. No where near today’s Harbor freight high end. I’ve settled on the newer Lincoln helmets. Maybe not the top of the line but best I’ve had so far, that have held up to position work. Like the look of the new more narrow rounded masks. Maybe I’ll upgrade again in 5 years.

I would like to hear more reviews on this helmet from people that already are using it. I have favored Speedglas over the years.
Thanks

I think you'll be waiting a very long time. Even I wouldn't buy it. And I buy anything, lol.

I thought the Optrel Crystal was expensive!

At that price I think I'll pass!

Bluetooth ADF? I feel so weird saying this as I'm a 26 year old tech fanatic, but why the F does everything have to be bluetooth or wifi enabled these days?

Where did you get that price? I believe that my include the PAR system

Just from the link you posted, I was actually asking what the conversion to USD would be, I wasn't stating it. I have no idea what the conversion rate is, I just went with 2x

I thought it was about $600 or so, but could be wrong, still very pricy

The person who designed it obviously must have had a job at one point where they were not allowed to use their phone on the job. So to circumvent that, they designed a welding helmet that requires one in order to configure it and use it. Now in between welding beams they can play Angry Birds.
