I know a good welding helmet is a big investment. You’ll want to do everything you can to protect your welding helmet so your helmet can continue to protect you.
You should have replacement batteries on hand–the last thing you want to do is end up out on a job with a helmet that won’t darken automatically.

The front lens cover of your welding helmet is another common replacement part you’ll want to have on hand. This is what take the most ‘abuse’ when the helmet is in use. Usually sold in packs of 5.
For the grunge factor alone, you should consider some replacement sweat bands (Arc-Zone carries some nice ones sold in packs of 2 from the folks at Revco). These are good to have if you’re welding in out in the field, in the heat. And if you ARE welding out in the heat, check out the health tips on dealing with heat stress from our friends at CarmenElectrode.com.
Be sure you carry your helmet in a helmet bag. It doesn’t need to be anything fancy, but should at a minimum protect your helmet–especially the lens– from getting scratched. If you DO want something a bit more rugged, then you should check out this bitchen’ backpack (pictured, right). It’s from the folks at BSX–not only stylish, but a practical way to carry your tools, your helmet, and even your lunch to your welding job site.
