Speaking from someone who has suffered flash burn multiple times, don’t skimp on the helmet...fancy painted welding helmets don’t make a bit of different but the quality of the lens does. Get the helmet from a good welding supply outfit. When they first came out they ran in the 300 to 400 range now they have come down a bit in price.
