I have to have a mask on at work all day long. In the old days I seldom wore a mask for welding or grinding, I have found that I get a lot more crap in my nose and taste in my mouth wearing the paper or cloth anti covid masks than when wearing none. So when welding or grinding I have started using the Miller LPR100 and like it a lot more than the older 3m with the pancake looking filters. The miller actually makes it feel like you are breathing chilled air. My helmet was the top of the line speedglass with the big window around 10 years ago. I have adjusted it as far forward as I can but it still rubs on the filter. I am thinking it may be time to start thinking about a new helmet. I have been using a 1.5 or 2.0 cheater in the current helmet. As my eyes are getting older I don't see the puddle as well as I used to cheaters or not. My helmet has a setting for grinding but you have to take the helmet off so it kind of defeats it, I would really like to be able to go from grinding to welding with minimal fuss. I have no interest in bargain bin helmets.
Any recommendations?
