Pros and cons
Pros
- YesWelder states a 100 × 93 mm (about 14.4 sq in) window
- Four sensors with 5–9 and 9–13 dark ranges
- Buyers like the clarity, comfort and value for TIG and stick
Cons
- Certifications: not confirmed by the manufacturer
- YesWelder pages disagree on optical class (1/1/1/1 vs 1/1/1/2) and switching speed
- Multiple buyers report headbands breaking almost immediately
Our review
YesWelder's M800H page lists a 3.93 × 3.66 in (100 × 93 mm) view, four sensors, a DIN 4 light state and 5–9 / 9–13 dark ranges. On area alone that beats every premium helmet we verified.
We still can't rank it #1. YesWelder names no standard on its own page, its pages give both 1/1/1/1 and 1/1/1/2 for the optical class, and switching speed appears as both <1/30,000 and <1/10,000 s. Weight is unpublished.
Buyers like the view, comfort and value, and several say it works well for TIG and stick. The biggest complaint is headgear that snaps early; a replacement headgear is cheap, but it should not be needed.
