True color - The color perception in light state is almost like looking through clear window glass and in dark mode, you enjoy a detailed and high-contrast view of the welding pool with never-seen-before clarity.

Heat reflecting paint - helps welder stay cooler under the hood. Patented sensor slide allows the detection angle to be reduced from 120° to 60° to prevent the ADF from responding to welding nearby.

  • Unbelievably good! Everything you've always wanted in a helmet, but didn't know you could get!
Bright, clear 'off' optics, amazingly detailed 'on' optics. I can't claim that I've tried them all, but I can't imagine anything better than this. When you're not arced up, the view is clear and nearly unshaded. It's like looking through your normal safety lens. Arc up and it's still amazing. I don't understand the technology, but I can see everything plain as day - the workpiece, scribe lines, the torch - oh, and the arc! The arc and (TIG) electrode are clearly visible and I can see my standoff distance and the character of the arc. I can't imagine much better. My welding has improved in both comfort and result due to this helmet, I can't recommend it highly enough! ... show more

  • The Best Welding Helmet Available
The Crystal 2.0 meets every expectation I had. The 2.0 "Off" shade is like not having a helmet on. The least weight of any helmet I have ever tried. At 72 years old my vision is nearly the perfect vision I had at 19 as a result of cataract lens replacement with $6000 lenses. But, my retina is aging and I require more light than when I was younger. The 2.5 cheater lens that Optrel makes fits perfectly and my resulting "Puddle Vision" is nothing short of spectacular. One person was complaining that the helmet doesn't have an up position detent. In fact, the helmet is so light that it isn't necessary. It stays up just fine. The blinking grinder mode LED is a nice touch and with the off state shade of 2.0, you can actually easily grind with the helmet on. The Auto Shading works perfectly. I've not even tried manual mode. Is it expensive? You bet. But well worth it. I have a Swiss made Rolex watch and a Swiss made Leica surveying Total Station. They were pricey as well. But Swiss products rarely disappoint. ... show more

  • Amazing Helmet
I have three helmets including Miller and the Optrel. What's interesting is just how crystal clear looking through the helmet is when not welding. It's amazing. I just got the helmet yesterday, and only tested it out with a few welds. It's as clear as safety glasses. The helmet can be used in either a fully automatic mode or manual. I tried the automatic mode. It worked great. Instead of the usual dark green view of the weld, it's a blue shade. I was able to see the weld significantly better than I could would my more basic Miller welding helmet. It was a pleasure being able to actually see my weld vs a sort of welding in the dark using my other welding helmets. I'm sold. I can't tell you how it compares to other high end helmets as I've never tried them. But this one rocks. ... show more

  • Easily worth the money
This helmet is easily the best on the market. I've tried the top of the line Miller, Lincoln, ESAB and they are pretty good. But If you don't like a slight green tint or you want the clearest view possible welding or in light mode this is the one. Light mode is just slightly darker than the sorounding area. The auto function is great, you don't have to turn grind mode on you can go seamlessly between welding and cutting or grinding. If you do turn on the mode manually, a red led blinks inside so you won't forget and flash yourself. The head gear is simple, comfortable and sturdy. This is easily worth the money if you weld a lot or just want nice equipment. Made in Switzerland quality ... show more

  • Best Hood I Own!
I have have an Optrel Satellite hood, a Miller Digital Elite hood, the new Miller 2.0 Hood and this Optrel Crystal 2.0. The Optrel is lighter, better view, user friendly. Perfect for any weld job. My favorite of the 4. And it wasn't even the most expensive!

  • Automatically blinds you! Automagically!
This hood has a tiny viewing area compared to other brands of the same quality range. My main gripe is the flash burn. The hood has this fancy feature where it goes from dark to light very gradually. You HAVE to wait for the hood to do its thing if you start to weld too soon after stopping like 1 second then the hood wont darken and you get flashed. Its so gosh darn annoying that ive gotten used to closing my eyes before arcing. I’ve ordered a different hood brand and im giving the optrel to a guy in the shop I dont like much. ... show more

  • Topbclass lighting and good FOV. Smart unit and wide lighting viability.
The one bad I have found so far: I really cant over emphasise how badly I want thisbto be a wide Field of view helmet. It feels cobstricted compared to my demo $70-ish unit. The good, true color more than I ever could have guessed, and I too photos, had my son and wife both check it outbside by side with my other helmets. It really gives true color. How important that really is with welding? Idk, but I do love having it. I know you can toss the helmet up to see but this thing is really smart! It still has a relatively wide Field of view although not ultra wide like some select units. The helmet faceplate has a bevel on it and this keeps it from rolling into granite or concrete and scratching thebface unnecessarily. I have many pics to show the unit as well as I could ... show more

  • Update! Some good, some bad lots of hype.
The media could not be loaded. Two stars was maybe a bit harsh so I'm updating to three. After a few weeks of use I can give a more educated opinion on this hood. As I stated before and as others have, the auto mode will flash you everytime. Worthless in auto mode. Works fine in manual mode. The clarity is great, but the viewing window is small. After using a Lincoln Viking for years it's disappointing to go to a smaller field of view. Doesn't feel much if any lighter weight either. The headset does come loose quite often and falls down as many other people have mentioned which is sub par for this price range. Obviously they want you to upgrade the headset so they can sell more product. All in all decent hood, overpriced but I do still use it for tig welding. Hopefully this review brings some honesty to the over-rated reviews this hood gets. Quite disappointed with getting flashed everytime I start the arc. It was in auto mode during this vid. Seems better in manual. After the first hour of welding my vision is like I stared at the Sun. Not from too light of shade, from the flashes. As everyone has stated, clarity is great, but getting flashed everytime is a deal breaker. I will spend a little more hood time with it in manual mode before giving up on it. First impression not a good one. ... show more
