fogging helmet

[Scooby074]

I yank'em off and either the supervisor or the safety officer magically appears at my side.

Ive had the argument like this "How is it safer IF I CANT SEE WHAT IM DOING!!!".... I never win though...

And magically, it seems that safety glasses do their best to DIRECT dust into my eyes when otherwise it wouldn't... I can understand when using power tools.. but just walking around???

I actually DO hold my breath for short welds, or as long as I can stand anyway.
Old time trick was to spit in your goggles then rub it around until dry...it does seem to help.

I have a Lincoln Viking auto. It's great until I can't see what I'm doing. I'm going to give the bar soap a try as well.

Keep the suggestions comin...

Try adjusting the headgear so that, when you flip the hood down, it stops a little farther out away from your face..

Ya, that's an old SCUBA diving trick. Way old, like the 50s.!!! May have even come from the hard hat days, not sure.

I have heard using Rain-X on the inside of helmet works.

I have trouble with fogging lens a lot, what did welders do when they built the Alaskan pipe line year's ago? it must of been cold.

A lot of pipe line weldors use pancake hoods. They don't fog up.

Never seen these pancake welding hoods before, and I been around welding a lot, do these hoods have a flip up lens?
