I spoke to a purchaser at work today ,the cheap ones the guys or gals on the production welding line buy from her are about $89.00 after tax I'll have a chat see what they are like and how they like them ,the top line ones are about $300.00 she said.

Sounds to me like you need to adjust your helmet for height. Window / opening is not in your direct line of sight. Generally there is a little clip with 4-holes on one side or the other of the helmet just for this purpose. Pick a hole in the center of the clip, insert it over the little stud. Make sure the height of the head band is correct for your head also!

If you're not seeing real clear, maybe use only glass lenses, no plastic at all.

I'll check this out not sure how it is made.

As another with "aging eyes" (read Trifocals), part of the problem is being able to look through the right "focal". Many times my head just will not tilt enough to see up close. I found a stick on magnifing strip a walmart, cut it and put a small strip across the top of my Rx safety glassed. Now I can look up and see something close. Good for welding, working under a car, and shooting with open sights. You can get the correct focus ground into any area af your glasses, but this was a cheap test to see if it would work. I only did it on my right eye, but it makes a world of difference.

What part of the store was that? I could see walking around for an hour and not finding that.

When I found them they were with the "reading " glasses. I haven't looked lately, and wallmart is notorious for either discontinuing or labeling something as seasonal, and their seasons don't always match mine. Might try one of the drug store chains, or who knows, maybe even the eye doctor:laughing: They were in a hard clear plastic case, before I cut them, looked like the part circle of normal lined bi focals.

Thanks for responding.

Yeah, probably only $400 at the eye doctor's.

You know, you can cheat on alot of things, but you only have one set of eyes. I bought a nice $250.00 hood and i never looked back. It has a HUGE viewing screen and my eyes thank me for it. I bought a Jackson Halo X HeavyMetal .... LOVE IT. iT HAS REPLACEABLE FRONT LENS COVER TO PROTECT FROM SPLASHES, AND REPLACEABLE INTERIOR LENS COVER ALSO.
