This type?
Or has yours got the external controls?

Mine has the remote controls, hence the Satellite in the name I think. If that one's the right size (and working, obviously ), could be interested, how many 'bucks' are we talking?

how is it even possible to manufacture and ship a adf for $30 ?

Economy of scale...

... and not having to support the huge overheads of a corporation the size of 3M.

There's no doubt that Speedglas established themselves as the market leader, and have set the price benchmark for other high end brands like Optrel...

But it would be naïve to think their selling price bears much relation to their cost of manufacturing at this stage, it's all brand and overhead.

FWIW, one of my helmets is a genuine Speedglas and the other is a Jackson Safety retrofitted with a cheap chinese True-Colour ADF... For some things, the Jackson is just nicer to use.
