Great Quality
July 6, 2019
Have been welding for the past 15 years, manufacturing, ship yards and aerospace, had many types of hoods, this one meets all my needs, its very light, big lens, super clear view and very cool design.

I have a 17 year old granddaughter, a Junior in high school, that is taking welding at the local college. She is doing well, and the instructors want her to enter welding competitions. They recommended this helmet. She loves how she can see the colors of the puddle. Ordered it on Monday and she took it to class on Wednesday night.

Great purchase
April 23, 2019
Though this is a top of the line hood, its exactly as I imagined. I've only used it twice both times about 3 hours continuous. It's clear, vents well. I'm no expert welder but I can appreciate its large view, phenomenal settings. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Great Unit
March 31, 2019
At my work I am a metal fabricator worker; machining, fabricating, modification, welding, etc. I almost purchased a Miller Infinity but I decided to pay a bit more cash and go with the 9100XXi. I honestly don't know if this unit is better, inferior, or equal to the Miller unit but I can tell you that I really like my 3M welding helmet a lot. It's a great unit and do recommend it to others.
Pros
  • * Lightweight
  • * Large Display
  • * Clarity
  • * Varies Adjustment Options
  • * Long Lasting Batteries
Cons
  • * 1st time adjustment (head strap, tension, stop adjustment, etc.)
  • * No Decal Options
  • * Side Windows

Better than a Miller digital elite. (In most ways)
February 8, 2019
The new lens is great and much better than the digital elite I've had had for 6 or so years. I've used this line of hoods before, specifically the 9100x and it was great! I'm comparing this hood to the digital elite and Jackson HSL100.
Pros
  • The lens is clear and I wear it around the shop for various things more then other hoods I've used. So far after two weeks the headgear is still doing its job and keeping the hood UP and hasn't started creeping down like the digital elite did after two weeks even with the other headgear option. Jackson headgear is my standard. The grind "button" is nice and pretty easy to find even wearing gloves. (Tillman 1414 xl)
Cons
  • There is no solar panel to help with keeping the batteries charged. There are only 3 arc sensors that are located ALL at the bottom and I've flashed myself several times now. Getting used to it is fine, but if/when I have to get into a funky position it may cause issues. The lens doesn't have an "x-mode" for outdoors and will darken if there is sunlight. We have Windows in our shop. I turned down the sensitivity to help, but then undarkens too soon (for me) after I lay a bead.

Not AT ALL worth the price
January 30, 2019
This shield is abnormally large. The plastic has sharp edges. The front silver heat shield is going to snap off in no time, very flimsy. The headgear is also very flimsy at the joints. The shield is also on the heavy side. I'm sure the lens is top notch but never bothered to strike an arc with it due to the poor quality of this shield. Sending it back. I expected alot more from this top of the line Speedglas.
Pros
  • The lens
Cons
  • Everything else

November 8, 2018
I am a tig welder in the aerospace field and was looking for a helmet with great clarity and lightweight and I'd have to say this helmet was everything I hoped for! Very clear and I never get flashed when having to weld in the box chamber! I would recommend this helmet to anyone looking for a great overall hood!

Nice!!
November 7, 2018
excellent helmet, but I have sensitive eyesight, and the brightness of the light affected me a little, the brightness is high for tig welding I had to use 13, and for mig 12 and it gave me a lot of stress in my eyes, I had to sell it and now I will buy the miller t94
Pros
  • Good helmet , very nice!!
Cons
  • the brightness is very high

I've been using budget helmets for the past fifteen years and cannot believe the difference in the clarity, brightness, huge field of vision and lightning fast response time, no more flashes! I can't recommend this helmet enough.

Fantastic helmet
June 17, 2018
I sold my 9100xx that was bought 8 years ago and upgraded to 9100xxi, the clarity is much better and the headgear are much comfortable to wear for somebody like who got a smaller head like me, it's way better than the previous model. You can't go wrong with Speedglas, you can't compare it with other brand that normally made from China. If you want high quality ADF, speedglas is the best choice. I gave it a 4 star because of the silver cover button, it just hard to press it for mode switching.
Pros
  • Headgear ( my own opinion)
  • ADF is clearer true color indeed
  • Qulaity ( Made in Sweden)
  • weight ( Lighter than any helmet in the market)
Cons
  • Button on the silver cover, hard to press and nothing like what they advertise on the video.
  • really hard to press it, still thinking how to modify that button make it more easy to switch from grinding to welding and vise versa.

Speedglas is the best
June 10, 2018
I already own a 9100X and love it, so I got the 9100xxi because of the exterior grinding button. It is amazing, the clarity is great, and with the grind button, you never have to raise the helmet.

Speedglas 9100xxi welding helmet
May 16, 2018
The 9100 XXi welding helmet is a great match for people that are older that have a hard time seeing, the Clearview over sized lense makes seeing where you are going a breeze. Standard cheater lenses slide right in without any adapters, all in all the 9100xxi is an outstanding welding helmet...

Clearest puddle picture I've ever seen!
April 27, 2018
Great hood, puddle is clear as a bell and the colors are true!!! Haven't had it long enough to know if any problems will develop so will just have to wait and see.
Pros
  • The view and colors are the best, have used Optrel hoods for the last 15 yrs or so and never found anything that compared to them until now. Was having to replace the other brand (Optrel) about every 2 to 3 yrs. Hope this hood last a little longer:) Will have to just wait an see!!!
Cons
  • The price of course, but you get what you pay for and with the aging eyes I need all the help I can get:( The headgear seems to look a little flimsy will see how long it last.

Best helmet I had in 30 years

Finally a helmet that has a nice light blue shade. Clarity is so much better than the other helmets I tried over the years. I almost want to get another one as a backup.

Blown away!
March 16, 2018
I have 80 hours on the 9100xxi and I absolutely love it. Took a few days to get used to the lens color coming from normal green auto darkening helmets. I work in a fairly dimly lit building and it&s so clear I dont have to constantly lift the hood to see where the next weld starts, just leave it down and go. No more sore neck due to the balance point. The pivot is low and below your ear so you don't have all the weight of the hood sticking out. The headgear is comfy and the hood hasn't dropped unintentionally once. Stays in place! Also I have no need for a bib to keep my neck from getting fried. The 9100xxi has great coverage.
Pros
  • Light weight, great clarity, comfortable and easy to setup and adjust. 3m quality!
Cons
  • I wish the upper 2 arc sensors were farther up the lens. All 3 are down low. I do a lot of out of position welding where I'm reaching out and up and over stuff and it will flash me on occasion. It's not a sensitivity issue but more of a partial blockage thing. Other than that I love the 9100xxi.

3M does it again. I've been welding for about 7 years, from fabrication, structural, refineries, oil fields, and off shore drilling platforms. I have been using a 9100X for the past 4 1/2 years and it&s still going strong. I decided to upgrade and went with the 9100XXi. I did a lot of searching and found the best price here on CyberWeld. I wasn't expecting too much of a change going from my old 9100X to the 9100XXi, but was surprised to find that they have made the headgear more robust, when lifting the hood into the park position you can feel it actually lock in. The sliders on the side for adjusting head size are made a little more durable, I've broken the little tabs before on my old hood. Clarity is the best I've seen. and I have tried dozens of different hoods, from different coworkers. my opinion, this hood is worth the money.

Great welding hood, worth the extreme expense if you weld a lot or not best of the best!
January 26, 2018
Great Speedglas, very expensive as they all have been, best of the three I've owned, worth the money, excellent view and clarity, hardly notice the hood on my head, the fitment is complex but more comfort and secure fit with less head vise pressure than the basic clamp bland on the previous models or other brands.

I purchased this for my brother as his Christmas present. In another 10 days, I'm looking forward to seeing how he likes it. I looked at these helmets at a local welding supplier. They were over 40% higher priced. Thank you CyberWeld for making a great helmet much more affordable!

December 1, 2017
I absolutely love this helmet. It's light and durable. This is my very first so I can't compare it to previously owned helmets but I have used others and this speedglas blows them out of the water. The big guys in my shop all have this helmet and I can see why. I would highly recommend this helmet to anyone that can afford it. It's a bit in price but I think it's worth every penny. Totally worth going broke for.
Pros
  • Clear view through lens
  • Love the side views
  • Light weight

Great.
September 30, 2017
I really enjoy the hood. It's light enough you can wear it all day without neck fatigue, the headgear is comfortable and customizable enough to get the hood to rest however you find comfortable. The side lenses make wearing a hood feel less enclosed and claustrophobic. The external grind function is useful (especially because the lenses light state is actually light enough to make grinding wearing the hood an option) but I really like being able to quickly switch between preset lens settings. The lenses is exceptional considering clarity and color. I have nothing bad to say about this setup, and am completely happy with mine
By Curt W.

Loving it
September 21, 2017
Obviously not a budget helmet, but full of features and works great.
Pros
  • 4 headband adjustments to make it fit perfectly to your head. The large window means I know longer have to use a cheater lens to adjust for my progressive glasses -- I can look down for close work and still see through the lens! Side windows make it safer to work with other people and know where they are. Works well for low power tig.
Cons
  • Haven't found one yet.

Best welding hood I have ever owned.
Pros
  • Very clear, doesn't get foggy because of the breathing slots. It's so lightweight I can't tell I have it on.
Cons

By Wayne

Optics are awesome
August 11, 2017
I am not a professional welder and this was a replacement for my old auto darkening Kobalt helmet that I have had for about 10 years. The advancement in the lens clarity over the last 10 years is unbelievable. It took a while to adjust the head gear just because it has so many adjustments but once done, it is quite comfortable. The only down side was the external button for switching to grind mode. After watching the promotional videos that is the one feature that made me choose the 3M over the Miller. Unfortunately , the 3M videos are a little misleading. They show a guy just lightly touching the side of the helmet to switch. It actually takes 2 hands to make it change. One hand on the opposite side of the helmet to stabilize it and the other to push the button quite hard to get it to switch modes.
Pros
  • Clarity is awesome.
Cons
  • External grind button does not work as advertised.

Already had 9100xx. 9100xxi is amazing! The clarity and the color is so much better. Didn't think I would like the grind button but it is really handy. I will probably never use my old hood again. Been welding pipe about 28 years .Thanks!

My Favorite Welding Hood
April 16, 2017
I've owned a Jackson EQC and a Miller Digital Infinity, and this 3M Speedglas helmet is by far my favorite. I really like that it covers my ears and neck, as I could tell I was often getting flash burned on the outer edges of my ears.
Pros
  • Clear optics, Switch to grind mode without removing hood, Covers ears and neck
Cons
  • Ratcheting part of headgear leaves a lot to be desired
By Jon

Worth every penny
April 14, 2017
This hood is amazing! A bit expensive but well worth every penny.
Pros
  • Light don't mind wearing it all day easy to switch to grind mode and cutting mode while on your head
Cons
  • Price but you get what you pay for
By MattWv

Great product from 3m
April 12, 2017
Definitely a welding helmet for the professional welder . From turning a dark enough shade to fluxcore to switching to Tig welding and having the right amount of sensors to not turn of from your hands blocking the sensor. The band has all the adjusters needed to fit any head and the auto lens easily removes for cleaning. Although a little pricey, it doesn't take to many uses to realize it was money well spent!
Pros
  • Fully adjustable head band, wide range of shades, grind mode easily found, cut modes, easy to clean and change lens, multiple sensors
Cons
  • Cost and have to order protection lenses

March 17, 2017
Great product, and fast shipping. Could not be happier with it. My first auto-darkening helmet, and I am extremely impressed. I did a lot of research and decided on this one because of the new filter technology. It far surpassed all of my expectations! Completely blown away by the visibility of the weld area! I am just nervous to put it through too hard of use, because I don't want it to get damaged. Not that I am worried about it's durability, as it seems very well built, but I am very careful to avoid any overhead welding since a replacement lens would be so expensive. I was a little worried about the side windows being distracting, or annoying if another welder is around, but haven't had any issues so far, plus it does come with covers for the side windows if you choose to cover them. However I think it would have been a better design to have them attach to the outside of the helmet, rather than the inside, to ensure that the side windows stay protected.
Pros
  • Incredible visibility, simple controls, comfortable headgear, reliable darkening response, and quality product
Cons
  • Kind of expensive, but still worth it. A little bulkier than some other models you might find, which might make it harder to work in tighter spaces, but not much a problem for me.
