I've been using a Viking 3350 for about 4 years. It was my first "real" welding helmet. The size and clarity of the lens is great. I love the overall size of the helmet; I've never had issues with burning my ears or the back/sides of my neck, but I will get a little red around my shirt collar occasionally. Its also quite durable, as I've dropped (and even lightly thrown

My biggest complaint with it is the battery life. Using the standard CR2450 battery, it could last 6 months, or 2 weeks, with no obvious reason for it. The battery slot also kinda fell apart at one point, so that sucks. Nothing some electrical tape can't help.
Also, as stated in other posts, the headgear leaves something to be desired. I swapped that out for a more comfortable style (not sure the brand, sorry) as soon as I could.
Overall, I'm happy with it. But I'm also too cheap to buy a new helmet, so there you go.
