Customer Reviews
Amazing
Great lense use it everyday for indoor and outdoor use. I want to try the other ones that are on their shop. I let my shop buddies use my hood and they loved it as well so now the whole shop uses ridge.
I struggled in welding school for 6 months, literally not being able to see anything & just convinced that, well I was welding so it was supposed to be that dark, when Ridge Products started popping up on my Facebook page. I was already two different hoods in & wasn't sure if I wanted to invest in a third one. A tuition refund check from the school put some extra money in my pocket, so I said why not, I'd try it. Ordered it & waited so impatiently for it to get here. Wearing this hood/lens was the FIRST time I looked at a weld & it looked like videos we had watched. This hood/lens showed me I was, basically, welding blind (ik; crazy, right?) It was more of an initial investment than I put up for my other two & but ABSOLUTELY worth it. I 100% I'd have flunked out by now, had I not switched to this hood/lens. I have not had anything put in front of me so far that they did not have a PERFECT lens option for. Literally just love it. You will, too. If you're on the fence & reading these reviews to help you settle. ..Ridge Products is your best choice; do yourself a favor & make your best choice.
I really like my Throne 2 hood with Hair 2.0 shade 10 lens. works well for low amp tig welding.
One of my favorite lens, I definitely recommend and I will purchase a few more soon.
