Neiko Comfort-Fit Welding & Torch Safety Goggles - Flip-Up Style, ANSI Approved Review

I bought these to replace a full hood for periodic welding tasks, and I'm extremely pleased with them overall. I paid less than $10 with shipping, they were to me in a reasonable time, and they were pretty much exactly as described.
Pros: The flip-up outer lenses are extremely handy, much easier than my full hood. The lenses are mounted behind a simple retaining ring that required no special tools to remove, thus allowing me to swap out with other lenses of the appropriate size.
Cons: The clear inner lenses are cheap plastic and have an odd bevel along the edge that distorts your view.
I simply removed the inner elements. I'll be replacing them at some point with the glass from a pair of UV photography filters (such as Tiffen 52mm UV Protection Filter), since impact resistance is not a requirement. I haven't measured yet, but the lenses appear to be approximately 52mm.
In my opinion the price is definitely right on these goggles, and I surely recommend them.

US Forge 99406 Leather Welding Apron with 42-Inch Bib Review

I ordered the Leather Welding Apron with the 42" Bib. As you can guess, my husband is a King Sized fellow. The 42" bib is really nice in that it offers more coverage than the standard smaller sizes and he loved it. The only trouble is that the fastening straps are too short. They might work on a med-large to large frame, but on a man who wears a 2-3XLT shirt, the straps are about 6" to short to even be useful.
We got a good laugh out of it and being as we are handy people we can lengthen the straps without much trouble. We are keeping the apron and I will sew lengths of webbing to accommodate his frame.
Overall, the quality is fine.

US Forge 403 18-Inch Extra Length Welding Gloves Review

When we bought our new woodstove, I wanted some elbow length (for me, a woman) leather gloves to protect my hands and arms when I carried wood in, and again, when I added wood to the hot woodstove. No more burned forearms when I accidentally brush against the door frame of the stove!
I know they're supposed to be gloves for welders, but I can highly recommend them for any chore where you need complete protection of your hands & arms.
