Glad that you pointed that out to me. I'll have to look into this a bit more, we have been buying and using these(pics to follow) for many many years now and really would hate to change.
Are these what you're talking about and are now illegal per OSHA? Just curious, as to why, because the shield is non conductive as are the hard hats and hardware other than the pins themselves, What I'm getting at is there is no path of conductance to the welder behind the shield.
