I work and weld for a national Railroad company. My company buys cheap HF auto dark helmets. They are very good and I have never had any complaints with them. They are solar powered and we work outside with them all the time. As have been said I would rather take the extra money and spend it on my truck than an expensive helmet. I use a regular non auto dark helmet at the house. I have been thinking about getting one like we have at work but have not done it yet.
