I cannot swear to exactly when I bought my auto darkening helmet from HF, but I'm guessing it was at least 5 years ago. I've never had a problem with weld flash. Never even got spots before my eyes like you would get by looking at a bright flashlight. They really work well. Unless you really want the cool graphics of the expensive helmet, don't bother with one. The cheap ones HF sells are just the same in a plain Jane style. I can't see any difference in the performance of either one.
