Hi Gareth. For 30 years I have simply used traditional old BOC style goggles with either green or a brownish type lense. Never had a problem. However, I've been reading on here about blue cobalt lenses and out of curiosity want to give them a go to see what all the fuss is about. I've managed to score a new old stock 1950's set of goggles with cobalt blue glass lenses. I've yet to try welding with them, but have tried them on and the world seems a whole lot more abstract!

I'll let you know how I get on

Cheers, Matt
