i've been welding for about 7 years now and i had one auto-darking before but there it in the trash because the arc sensors were junk. Now i'm looking at a 9100x, i hear lots of good thing about speedglas, anyone have one or any experience with speedglas, is it a good helmet i.e. lightweight, comfortable, are the arc senors any good, and first and for most, DOES IT STAY UP AND NOT SLOWLY FALL DOWN WHEN YOUR WORKING!!!!!!!!!!!! that's a pain in the a$$
They are about the best hood out there. I have 4 of them. The oldest is 25 years old and still working. The newest is the 9100xx. Speedglas was the first company that came out with the auto darkening hood. When they first came out they were $800. They are great for tig. The same with most auto hoods is if your hand gets in the way of the sensor they will cut out. The 9100 has a "catch" in the up position to help hold it up. The head band is adjustable and very comfortable. In my opinion well worth the money. Just like anything you buy you can always get a bad one. Good luck!
