Their welding gloves are no good for heavy use. They come in 3 packs and are red. They did work fine for occasional use at home but they had holes in them after 8 hours use in my welding class. This held true for the 2nd pair too and am now on my 3rd pair. Buy some good ones somewhere else.

Auto darkening helmet. I got the one that is battery powered. Works good. Eyes not itchy at all after continuously welding for 4 hours. Has an auto off feature that sounds cool but the switch is inside the helmet and it is a PIA to take off the helmet every time the thing switches off. Provided their solar powered helmet operates as fast as the battery powered one, would recommend that one as there is no power switch. The shade control on the solar powered model is on the outside also.
