Hey all
I use to use a 4x2 jackson flip up for stick work off the truck.....I do not want to use a speedglass for that.  They quit making the jacksons but I did find a few on fleabay.  Anyone got a recommendation on a current one that would be good for overhead, get in tight spots, lightweight AND stay on my brain bucket with no drama?  I just want to be able to grind like heck and burn rods, decent coverage and not have a brick tied to my skull.  Any suggestions more then appreciated.

Tommy

I was able to find a Jackson flip up that they quit making what I have is the Jackson H2A look that up, if it's what you want I will send u the link to where i just ordered mine the woman said they had two well now just one. Mine should be here tomorrow. Really sucks these are great shields it's basiclly like  a pipeliners hood but with the flip lense

Nothing beats the Huntsman vulcanized hoods for toughness.  I'm pretty sure they still make flip up versions.

Price is right too.  for a hood that will last 15 years.

Take a look at the North A676 minishell hood. It's about the size of a cutdown pipeliner hood with a flip lens.

look in the Eye and Face protection catalog in the link.
