Hi All,
First post on here but I have noticed several usernames that are familiar from other forums already so some of you may know me but not for welding!
My former experience is limited to a noisy blue Turbo Mig welder thingy about 25 years ago burning pretty holes in car panels (plus I may have accidentally melted spatter into a UPVC window cill that proceeded to rust ahem).
I was lucky enough to kindly be given an immaculate SIP arc welder by someone who I've noticed is actually a member here and have been playing with that but it's time to get rid of my manky nodding helmet - not often you can say that online without being put on a register!
I'm happy to pay more or less but £70ish seems to get you a half decent hobby mask
These three seem quite good VFM,

Does anyone have experience to be able to recommend any one in particular or are they all much the same thing at this price point?
Thanks in advance
Oh yes bonus picture to say thank you for wading through yet another which helmet thread!
My first proper project was to make an outfeed support for my Sealey bandsaw.
Be nice you should have seen it before it was painted
