Here's my old Huntsman "shortie" with the Tillman bib and the leather skull cover with look-thru opening. I just flop the 18in x 30in leather over my noggin and clamp the helmet down over that. I use the same leather for my stick welding headgear, too.

For xtra light I just clip on the ratty old flashlight cuz it's bright enough I can read directions/plans/diagrams with the helmet down - shade 10, goldy.

Oh yeah - dual lenses on my hat - been working on a new arc lens for a while - side by side testing wuz needed - version S9-10-12 and 14 w/ goldy coat nearly finished. I really like the visibility. Should get some production going on these this fall .... not flicker-flash lenses, just plain old static ones, sorry.

(ps, I do not like arc flash. I have tried different flicker-flash lenses over the time they have been offered. I do not get flashed with the static lenses and I can see pretty well with the hat down.)
