Verdict: A cheap composite sugar-scoop / pipeline shell with a 4½ × 2 in flip front; you add the lens.
It's in the Under $60 band; hoods aren't given a spec score because the lens you fit sets the protection.Compare it with the other picks in our best welding hoods guide and the best sugar scoop hoods list.

Our review
YesWelder's listing describes a composite shell, ratcheting headgear, a straight-and-curved front for throat protection, and a standard 4½ × 2 in viewing area that takes most auto-darkening lenses (not included).
It's the cheapest way to see if a sugar scoop suits you.
Buyers like the value and weight; one notes light leaking through the flip-up section, so check the seal.

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.
