I spent the extra money for a GOOD miller helmet because I don't get an extra set of eyes if I mess them up. In the long run tools are cheap compared to body parts. I would rather buy a very expensive helmet every year than to have to have surgery or something on my eyes just once. When buying a cheap helmet ask yourself this" are my eyes really only worth$ 69.99 or more to me?" That is what I ask myself when I am buying any kind of safety equipment. You only get one mistake sometimes, that's all.
