Why is there such a big difference in the cost of a helmet?
For someone who is a limited weekend warrior welder, what are the important features to get in a helmet vs those that would be needed more for a professional?
I'll buy the best helmet that I need to, but don't want to overbuy.

The 'Galaxy' , use the same headgear as the more expensive 'sattilite' model, that fact and its light weight - low price, make it THE budget lid.

It is not auto-darkening however, and for those wishing to spend the dough the satilite is a pretty decent auto dark lid.
