After taking a welding class as a makerspace, I decided to take the plunge and picked up a cheap tig machine. I wanted the best safety gear so after some research I decided on the 3M speedglas. Compared to the HF hood I used in the class this thing is amazing

Welded for years with a Speedglas utility. And while the headgear does seem very flimsy and prone to breakage this 9000x is very very nice. It does catch yellow and red strobes from pretty far away it's workable.

Hell yah brother! Get yourself one of these !

the name speedglas says it all. the price was even better.

Sweet helmet......best I've ever had....now if I could just weld...hahaha

After years of using miller helmets and not liking them I tried a speedglass. So far the headgear is great.. lense works good. Comfortable, light and does what it should. Glad I bought this helmet

I have been a welder, both professional and weekend crafter, for over 30 yrs. and this is the most comfortable, best helmet I have ever owned.

Had and still have a 9002X and been hearing about the 9100 series having the tack mode (shade specified, tack, shade 5, shade 3) so ended up purchasing the 9100X. Seems to be as good as Speedglas gets which is great! Fast shipping and came with everything Cyberweld said it came with. Overall very pleased.

I've been in fabrication for18 yrs and have only the best luck getting replacement parts for these hoods. Thanks for your service cyberweld

Works great

I've been using this hood for a week, no problems worth it it all. Wish I had got the bigger lens, but am very happy with the quality.

I'm very pleased with this hood! I've had my Miller for the last two years and the visibility with my new one is better than anything I've ever seen or used. It's a nice lightweight helmet, that is very wonderful.

I have spent a large portion of my work day with a welding helmet on over the last 30+ years, the 9100 is the best I've found.

I forked up the money to purchase the 9100X for my friend because he is getting married. It's his gift from me, but I'm almost tempted to just keep it for myself because I love it. I def. wish I had something like this when I was welding. I love the visibility and the look of it. I'm jealous. Makes me think I should get married so I can buy myself one..... haha just kidding. I'm sure he won't be disappointed!

After hearing my instructor describe his experience with speedglas i had to see for myself. Better in every possible category over my old Miller Pro Hobby.

I bought the original version of the Speedglas, the model 9000X, about 15 years ago. During that time I've been pleased with the product and, other than batteries, I have had no problems. But the helmet was showing its age and the lens of that original 9000X was getting dark areas, so I started checking out newer AD helmets. The best modern AD helmet I could find was the new Speedglas model 9100X. Actually, if you don't use magnifying lenses, maybe one of the larger viewing window models would be the absolute best, I wanted the standard 2x4 window. The newer suspension or headgear on the new 9100X is more comfortable and easy to adjust.The lens is very clear and bright, and easy to adjust. Overall, I'm very pleased with this helmet.

Don't be scared by the price it worth every penny

Love 360 view

They say you get what you pay for, so I'm glad I spent the money where I did. The Speedglas helmet is worth it. Highly recommended during my use. Spend the money once and never have to buy another helmet again.

Used HF auto-darkening and a hobart passive lense for the last 8 years. I weld approx. 2 hrs./ wk. maintenance / construction / teaching. Love this helmet. Would've loved the XX model but really stretched to get this one. Now I want to get more time to weld. I love the clarity, it does help you to be a better welder.

This is by far the best helmet I have ever owned. Exceptional performance.

Used this hood for only an hour today and well...its really not that great. The headgear sucks so far complete PIA to get used to and it actually gave me a headache after only an hour. Th clarity is phenominal though. But theres hoods out there are other hoods out there with the same optical quality for half the price. Just me 2 cents. To be fair ive oy used it once for an hour so ill use it a while longer and post another reply

Been welding for 40 years now and have always used a Fibre metal standard helmet. Finally decided to try an auto darkening helmet and after much internet research went for the 3M 9100x. Wow, what an improvment! It took a few days to get the head gear adjusted just right but other than that it's been a great investment. Well worth the price!

I finally decided to purchase a speedglas 9100x...After using this hood,and having other hoods Like miller, hobart,jackson, rhino,and harbourfreight and over 20yrs of welding expierience. I can assure you that there's nothing better out there with such quality, comfort, and clarity.... I will never go back to any other brand....It's worth every dollar!!!!!! And your eyes,neck and face will feel the difference immidiately. ..

I've used several hoods and these are by far the best. This price beats any other quoted price from my local welding supply stores

Had some reservations about buying on line, without trying the helmet out. However everything turned out better than expected. The helmet is fantastic, no complaints.

good helmet but headgear is terrible. Have had this helmet since 2012 and have gone through 4 sets of headgear. Tired of buying new head gear so will be done with speedglas. Would not recommend this helmet to anyone.

I have owned this hood for a couple days now, and have since thrown out my miller hood. Speedglas is awesome

Very nice helmet. Only have some slight problems with the headgear.

I was looking for a new auto-darkening helmet with grind mode after years of burning with the fixed shade then switching to the full face grind shield for grinding. Looked at the top miller models along with the 9100X. Some speedglas bias was part of my decision making process when selecting this helmet. Obviously helmet selection is 100% operator comfort based and each helmet should be tested for fit/functionality. Unfortunately, the internet lacks the tangibility of in-store purchases and you need to base you decision off reviews like this one. This is an excellent helmet. From the second you pick it up you can feel quality craftsmanship throughout the helmet system. Buy it! you will not have buyers remorse. The hobby/light industrial welder will have this helmet for a life time, The professional will have a top quality helmet that will hold up to extreme work conditions for many years. I must say, an external grind mode button would make this product an undisputed 5 star product, although I could see issues with spatter/hot slag nesting on the button somehow...Please see pros/cons for bulleted comments.

Works great! Large field of vision. I love the side panels for peripheral vision.

I bought an early version of the Speedglas helmet many years ago, (15 or 20). It has never died. It still works well, but I can't seem to get harness parts or protective lenses for it. I indulged myself with a new, top line version, and so far I'm very pleased. I like that the #3 and #5 shade can be locked on, something I always wished for in the old version, the sensitivity controls are more intuitive and easier to adjust, there is adequate space to wear a respirator to fit under the helmet, (a custom I wish I had adopted much early), and the harness design is really good. The harness adjustable to a degree that is a little confusing, but once I played with it a bit I find the helmet to be really stable and comfortable and it stays where I need it when I'm moving my head into awkward positions. I have a very large head and it had plenty of adjustment. The best helmet suspension I've experienced. I hope it is sturdy, it looks a little light. The helmet is heavier than a conventional helmet, but not a lot, and, if you're trying to get a lot of work done, and done well, the extra weight of the auto-darkening device is absolutely worth it.

Great fit light weight Nice

I purchased this hemet for my son, and he is enjoying so far

I am a pipefitter/welder and weld about 7 hours a day. The hood works great as for most of the functions. Headgear is extremely comfortable. Viewing area is the perfect size. Presently I am welding in a pipe fabrication shop; mig, stick, tig. The reason for the 3 stars is grind mode. Our welds get a visual inspection before they go out the door. All tacks must be removed or ramped to look like a seamless weld. The grind mode is a royal pain. You have to cycle through every level of sensitivity to get to grind mode, then cycle through again to get back to your weld setting. A button just for grind mode on/off like Miller would make this hood perfect.

This is my first high end auto dark welding helmet. Was worth the money. Have miged with a fixed shade and tiged with an inexpensive auto. I do a lot of thin low amperage tig the sensitivity and shades available works well. Best feature, aside from the quality of the helmet overall, for me is the peripheral vision made possible with the side windows. Helps maneuvering around in car welding roll cages, can leave the helmet on.

great product

Fast delivery great price

have used it with MIG welding only and for 2-3 hour sessions. Still fussing with headband adjustments.

After hours of researching helmets, I decided on the 9100X and it has proven to be an excellent decision. I've only used it a couple of times, but the quality and consistency of my welds has improved 100%. Optics are top notch and the fit is great. I'm still working on getting the knob tight enough to maintain the helmet in the home position, but other than that I have zero complaints. Cyberweld has excellent prices and shipping was relatively quick.

This is my third 3M welding helmet. I like this new 3M Speedglas welding helmet 9100x a lot, I recommend this helmet is very light weight and comfortable.

This is a well designed helmet, very well thought out.The optics are superb, a clear and balanced wide view for sure. Adjustments for head fit are numerous and sensible, I have no problem getting the helmet to stay where I want it to. The side windows,front vents and wider rear opening makes cheaper helmets seem claustrophobic and suffocating. After using a $50 auto-dark helmets for TIG welding nothing compares to this.

It's a really good welding hood. I have been welding for thirty years and this is the first hood I've used with Auto dark lens. It takes a little time to get use too. Now I really like this feature, easy way too start a weld.

Very comfortable and works as advertised. Shipping was very prompt and well-prepared by Cyberweld. The magnifier inserts work very well. The detent for the up position was the only frustrating thing about the helmet (until I watched the DVD).

This helmet and some LED lighting made for a happy novice welder. I am a hobbyist and have been practicing MIG on and off for about year, but could never see the bead and weld puddle well until this helmet.

Works brilliantly and keeps my eyes safe and great!

Up to date tracking. Notifications were quick. Product was in great condition.

Just started to weld and did a lot of research and spoke with a few folks all recommended to purchase a good helmet to protect your eyes. Like the large view and the sides have a tinted panel which gives you a very clear view not the tunnel vision or feeling from the other helmets. The cost was a big question mark but after I tried the helmet , I can tell you the extra $$ are worth it!!

Quality is important to most everyone making a living , cost is always a factor . You've always heard " You get what you pay for " Speedglas is no exception . This Helmet is Awesome , HD 1080P , Digital welding at it's finest . Used only 3 months , but have no complaints .

I have been using the 9100X for a few years and love it! It's light,comfortable and has a great clarity! I was a Miller man till I tried this hood. Now I'm Speedglas all the way! I use this hood 4-6hrs a day and it never gets heavy.
