Our review
The listing pairs a fibreglass pipeliner shell with a gold-coated 4½ × 5¼ in auto-darkening lens, claiming 1/1/1/1, four sensors, 5–9/9–13 shades and a 3.93 × 3.66 in view.
We couldn't confirm any of those with a manufacturer document, so they're shown as not confirmed.
It's on the list as the only pipeliner here that ships with a variable lens.

Not scored: a hood's protection comes from the lens you fit, so we don't give hoods a spec score. Fit a lens with an ANSI Z87.1 mark and the right shade for your process; the lens size finder shows which lenses fit.
