I have the PP205 and bought Everlast's least expensive helmet with it (batteries are non replaceable). With that, I am 4 months post and it is now not working properly on TIG. It is letting the light in and not auto darkening. The instructions say to put the helmet in a dark place for a few minutes. This to me is absurd and doesn't seem to work!!

Bottom Line: Can't put a price on vision. WHAT IS THE BEST HANDS DOWN HELMET (set it and forget it)? I am ready to buy a new helmet and am disappointed with the junky helmet I settled for. Is the NexGen worth the money?

All feedback is welcome.
