There is a pad on the backside of the headlamp, forming a cushion for your forehead. It is approximately 1/4 inch thick, heavy duty rubber foam, dark color. The cushion works well, and the curvature presses evenly on the forehead. There is no other padding on the straps. The design works well and you can wipe the foam of sweat easily.

The band rests on/under your collar and the wires for the earbuds are thin as well as long enough to reach my ears with ease under my own helmet. This said, when you put them on, pull the little clips from the band--easily removed and replaced--so you'll retain a full range of motion. This isn't necessary otherwise, but helps when wearing a helmet because otherwise it adds tension.In the interest of full disclosure, I wear a 2XL Scorpion EXO-1100. This headset also works well with my older GMax helmet, though I don't know the model off the top of my head. Both are modular helmets, though it should work just as well with a fixed full-face as my modular.

Yes, it helps. It's good, too, when night road crews use krieg lights to work. I wouldn't say it's amazing, but it's like sunglasses. I bought this product two years ago and I have seen a similar product on TV promising more in the glare-blocking department. So do your homework. This is a good product; there may be better. (On the other hand, there may be more hype on other brands. This is solidly made and pretty good.)

If you have access to a multimeter check to make sure your batteries are actually charged. If not maybe someone you know can help you or perhaps visit a local electrical supply store, Radio Shack, etc. If the batteries are fully charged, do make sure you have then installed correctly. I can't tell you how many times I've installed batteries incorrectly even though I absolutely know to check which way they go before I put them in. If your batteries are charged and they're installed correctly, then I can only assume it has something to do with the circuitry of your headlight.....could be a lot of things. Sorry to tell you that my headlight did not last long and its problem was poor quality circuitry....the circuit board in the battery compartment self-destructed. It fried itself one day while I was wearing it. If your light is now garbage, try this one: Weiita H807 Starlight LED Headlamp, 300 Lumen, available on Amazon. It's similar but much better IMO, plus the company is great to deal with. Hope this helps.

Mine came with rubber boots for actual head light plugs them selves on the back, to keep moisture out. The unit it self also has a weather stripping seal around the edge of the headlight that seals to the fender/hood/bumper. I have an issue with fitment of these lights on my girlfriends 2000 civic. They just do not sit perfect, not a big deal. Also they are impossible to adjust the beam to a perfect angle. Basically one headlight shines in the trees. They still light up the road in front of you, they just also shine in other directions. They are worth the price, but you get what you pay for. Expect to blow threw bulbs pretty fast too, like once every 4-6 months. Mine came with rubber boots for actual head light plugs them selves on the back, to keep moisture out.

I had mine on for years and did drive interstates but not daily. I did not put them on the outside paint though. I placed the tape on the top of them. and stuck them to the underside of my hood where my lights were. This way when someone was working on my car they wouldn't get on the way but when the hood was closed they were over my lights . The placement may have helped. They even went into the car wash a lot and survived. Clean the area Where you place the tape very well and use alcohol. After several years one started to come undone. I got some 3m thick double sided foam tape and fixed it and it was good to go. When the other side started to come undone I neglected it and it flew off, but I had had them for years before this happened. Not sure what color. Maybe pink. I'm seeing them more and more these days in black but not pink. I'm getting my new ones in pink. I Will worn you people will be looking at you and until you remember you have them on your car you'll be wondering what they are looking at.

Hi Robert--The hat is just like a non-flashlight hat. In other words there is no front (or back) panel. It's totally comfortable and does an amazing job of lighting things up. The one I bought on Amazon I sent to my sister who is a zookeeper in Portland OR. The hat was such a hit that the zoo ended up buying them for all their employees who worked nights! I had received a similar hat the year before and use it more than any flashlight I own.I hope I have adequately answered your question. Feel free to contact me if you have any more inquiries.Sincerely, Gordon Andersen

it sort of fits on my hard hat (the all-the-way-around-brim kind) but it really stretches the straps. the straps occasionally fall out of the plastic strap guides from this. i have replaced the center strap with a slightly longer one and it seems to fit my hard hat much better. i'm pretty pleased with this product - the main complaint i have is that i need to keep extra batteries on hand because the burn time is only a couple hours on low. a very bright headlamp for a very low price imo

It does sit on the bolt heads - but I don't really move it around much, nor have I bothered to turn it upside down to see if it has scratched it. You would always cover the bolts with mole skin is that was a concern of yours. Just an FYI - corn pads (for your feet) also work well when you need to cover a bolt.

I have worn mine for up to three hours at a whack and haven't had any problems with it. It is adjustable for headsize, so you can loosen it up if it is too tight. I believe I could wear mine all day without a problem, but have no need to since my work in the woods is usually only for several hours at the most.

I dont believe that u can. I didnt see a spot for it. I was wondering what type of welding would be done with ur helmet? I noticed that it was fine for basic stick welding but i actually got flash burn while tig welding in it because all light sensors are on top and when shadows are cast it tends to untint mid weld. Im selling this and already got a cheap run o the mill non auto tint for $35. Works way better

Took some patience, dexterity, and more force than seemed necessary, but the plug will go in, and the retaining clips will seat. It's a little frustrating, but keep trying, and good luck! BTW, my headlamps are still working well and looking good.

Hi Joy, The parts that keep the face shield closed may be made of plastic, I'm not sure. They feel sturdy enough, function well, and hold the face shield & lower jaw part closed securely. The lower jaw section locks in place with a sound click/thunk. The vent open/closed levers and the clear face shield lever seem ok. The tinted face shield control lever also seems sturdy enough and functions well, with thinner leather gloves or bare handed. Heavy leather gloves are more challenging. Nothing about the materiel or structure seem cheap to me, at least not yet. This is my first and only modular helmet so far, so I don't have much to compare it to.

I find that positioning is critical to wearing time. I have at times been able to wear 5-6 hours and removing only when a need to urinate, and immediately remount. If not positioned correctly I may get only an hour or so before pain requires a remount. I've not been able to identify the precise position need to avoid pain. I dont use the device at night partially as a means to avoid bruising.
