FFA Auto-Darkening Helmet

[crehberg]

Being an FFA member myself....I was just wondering if anybody has one of the FFA Auto-Darkening Helmets that are being advertised on the right side of this site. Are they any good? What kinda price we talking? Do any of those listed retailers have an online store I could get one from?

Thanks,

Cody

It looks like the XFS Model with FFA colors-

Price is around 80-90 bux and could be more since they put the FFA colors on it.

A Fixed shade wouldn't do for me and who knows what shade you'll like- unless you already like a #10:)

... and according to Hobart's guidelines up 90 amps Stick- may be too light for you.

Depending on what price the FFA is you can save a few more dollars and geet this one

It's not FFA but looks pretty good

If you want a good deal, buy something in basic black.
