It's a good sturdy welding hood for either new comers or old heads. Headstrap fits fairly comfortably granted you have a decent welding cap. Lens is pretty good for what it is, it's plastic sonirs more durable than a glass lens. The adjustability of the hood is also okay, mostly only the position the hood has over your face can be adjusted as well as the headstrap.

If you work in a dirty environment like construction/pipeline/etc. then this is probably the best hood you can buy for your money. I stray away from those expensive fancy hoods cause I know they will just get tore up in my line of work. Who wants to spend $250+ on a hood that’s gonna get majorly abused? Not me. That being said, the pipeliner is by far my favorite hood I’ve owned. It’s light, simple, and practical. I don’t have a huge head or long neck so I take a wrap-around and chop a good 1 1/2” off the throat of the hood. A lot of guys do this. I would say, for newer welders, slap a good ArcOne 2x4.25 auto darkening lens in that hood and you’re good to go. For YEARS. This hood will last a very long time and take the abuse.

Great hood very durable and light weight, i highly recommend it to anyone looking to buy one for themselves. I use it for school and projects at home great hood but pair up with a good lens and your golden!!

This welding hood has been absolutely excellent from the moment I put it on, and has stayed absolutely excellent until I took it off this morning after work. And I am sure it will be when I put it on tomorrow. The headgear is much better than expected, construction is rigid and extremely tough, original lens is surprisingly good for such a cheap passive shade but when I bought an aftermaket Wens Lens the hood got instantly better, and was even further improved after I burnt out the first clear lens and replaced it with a glass clear lens. This hood is the best money I’ve ever spent on a welding hood without a doubt, and has served as a very wise investment after all the money it’s made me. If you’re on the fence and looking for an affordable welding hood that is absolutely superb and built like a brick wall then this is 100% the right hood for you.

So tested this with 6011 rods 100 amps on 1/4 inch steel plate. Works the way a proper hood should. Been using the fancy Lincoln auto darkening hood for a while and don’t like auto hoods that well. Switching lenses is simple but getting the spring clip out is a pain. My main issue with this is when you lift the hood up it locks behind the ratchet adjuster and won’t let me swing my hood down, 2. The hood is too long so I’ll have to trim the bottom it digs in my throat, too much protection on the top too so it rests on the back of my neck so also needs trimming. It’s something to customize and play with so it gives me a project to do. I will buy again if need but I see this thing lasting a lifetime. Go with passive, or flip front. Protect your eyes. Also not a complaint but was surprised it was painted and constructed so poorly. I like that personally. Nothing bad like a pretty looking hood. Also the sticker says made in Mexico but inside the hood etched it says made in USA... sooo which is it? Online I’ve seen the Honeywell’s advertising as “made in USA” that’s why I bought it in the first place:”. Lastly, I’d recommend the ratchet headgear over the rubber band as it lasts longer but seen professional pipliners use the rubber band as to eliminate excess weight soo it’s your preference. Hope this helps. I’d recommend to anyone who loves to weld and loves to see lol.

I've been taking an intro welding course and plan to attend technical school for the same, so I wanted a welding hood of my own. I first ordered a Tigerhood because I liked the flip-up lens, not knowing there were other differences between that model and this one. I was pretty disappointed with the Tigerhood - it's made of floppy thermoplastic and pretty big. I've heard it's good for doing overhead welding for that reason. But I'm doing most of my welding in front of me at about sternum height, and the Tigerhood gets in the way doing that kind of stuff. The Tigerhood's headgear also came apart during class. I exchanged it for this one. After handling this Pipeliner I think the Tigerhood I got had a problem with the hinge. I switched out the Pipeliner hinge screws for some knurled metal ones either way, but the hinge screws on this one, while plastic, felt very, very solid. I'm a lot happier with the Pipeliner. It feels like how I was expecting it to feel. The construction is pretty good - I saw some people had problems with the edges of their hood being unfinished and jaggedy but everything looks OK on mine. The cream-colored paintjob is fine too - pretty poor surface finish but who cares, it's gonna get beat up anyway. The headgear had some rough spots on the band from the molding process - a quick xacto trim cleared it up. I'll probably end up chopping the bottom a little but as it is this will suit me just fine.

There’s no need for any other welding hood mine I’ve added all the bells and whistles to it I bought a head strap for the head gear for comfortability and a clip on flip up lens for convince but all you need is a good lens and you will have this hood for years guaranteed

Great helmet!

Increíble

Simple. Durable. Best shield on the market.

It was indeed a fibre-metal pipeliner by Honeywell

All my buddies have these helmets so I decided to get one, comes with a fixed shade 10 lense and a clear lense, changed that out for a speed lense bit of a pain in the ass to take the lenses out of these helmets but it’s alright
