Heavy Helmets
ESAB Sentinel A60. I ordered one from Baker's Gas. I had it on in my living room for 10 minutes and that's all I could take. My neck muscles are still trashed the next day. I don't see how I could ever weld with that thing on. I'd be afraid of causing permanent damage to my neck - or worse. All of the weight is in the electronics. Take the filter out and the shell is light as a feather. 644 grams doesn't sound like much until you have it strapped to your head and go flipping the helmet up and down.
The Miller Classic is a totally different helmet at 454 grams. If you take the Miller Classic and give it a larger viewing area without adding any extra weight, it would almost be the perfect helmet. Right now I'm trying to decide on whether I can live with a smaller window because my neck muscles can't take these big window electronic hoods.
