Thanks, Pete and Emmo. I want to buy a second helmet for instances
where I have help in the shop, so perhaps now buying a nicer one is
warranted.

Expensive one for the welder, and cheap one for the watcher.

Google some of Ernie's comments. IIRC, he likes SpeedGlass the most. I
like my NexGen, but admit I'd like to try the SpeedGlass and see if it is
lighter. Maybe just go to the shop and try several on. Find some good
ones, then give him a CERTIFICATE for one and he can pick it. Go with him
to make sure he doesn't get sold a case of snake oil. He may want the skull
model, or the Dale Earnhart model, etc. That would be a more personal
thing, you gave it but he picked the model. Like you giving him a Ford
Falcon, and he would have preferred a Mustang...............
Trouble is with these things, it's hard to find a place where you can test
drive the $300 purchase.
If he's excited, be sure to give him good tools that will keep that level
up. Just like fishing, a kid will stay excited if he isn't jerking around
with inferior equipment.
