Home Customer Service Product Knowledge Compare Helmets

At PacMont, we want to help you make the best helmet choice for your needs. Many welders have called and asked us what the difference is between our helmet and others, especially those that cost around $59. 

The best way to describe it is that it's like comparing a black and white TV to a feature rich flat panel.

We have put together the following charts for your reference (they are for general reference only) to help you make your decision. 

These charts compare the quality and price of Digi-Beret with a few other helmets currently on the market.
