Customer Reviews
Absolutely Outstanding Welding Lens “The Heir” Lives Up to Its Name. I’ve tried a lot of welding lenses over the years, but The Heir blows every one of them out of the water. The clarity is incredible crisp, true color visibility that makes every weld easier to read and control. The auto-darkening response is lightning-fast and consistent, with no flicker or delay, even during long sessions.
Comfort wise, it’s lightweight and fits perfectly into my hood without any hassle. After hours of work, there’s no eye strain at all, which is a massive upgrade compared to the lenses I used before. The build quality feels premium too solid, durable, and absolutely worth the investment.
If you’re serious about welding and want a lens that enhances your precision, comfort, and safety, The Heir is hands down the best choice. I’d recommend it to anyone from beginners to seasoned pros. This thing is a game changer.
Full time welder here and I would suggest these lenses to anyone I’ve bought 2 the red which is The Duke I use it in my sugar scoop and then the heir the blue one in my other hood very good lenses worth the price 100%
My new welding lenses have been a huge upgrade—crystal-clear visibility, great color accuracy, and just the right amount of shade to see the puddle without straining my eyes. They cut down glare really well, especially on longer welds, and the clarity makes it easier to control the bead and spot imperfections early. The build feels solid, they fit comfortably, and overall they’ve already improved both the quality and ease of my welding. Huge thanks to Daniel
This is how business should be done. Beyond impressed. Quality products for full time welders.
Really impressed with this helmet. The shell is solid and feels like it can handle regular use without any issues. The auto-darkening lens reacts instantly when the arc strikes — fast, smooth, and consistent every time. The viewing window is clear, and the shade controls are easy to adjust even with gloves on, which makes a big difference during longer sessions.
The fit is comfortable and stable, with great coverage that doesn’t feel bulky or restrictive. The adjustment **** turn easily while wearing gloves, and the lens sensitivity and shade settings are simple to dial in.
If you’re doing hobby welding or working in a shop, this helmet does exactly what it’s supposed to do: reliable protection and clean visibility. Great value for the price, and a strong choice if you want something dependable that performs the moment you strike an arc.
Highly recommend.
