That just makes no sense at all. I know the old non darkening helmets were a little bit of a pain, but now we have these badass auto darkening jobbies that there's zero excuse not to wear.
I guess it's what you get used to? I bought my old Jackson hood when I was an apprentice, non auto. I did add a neck flap to keep the welding boogers from going down my collar. I used an auto hood that the compnee bought for me sparingly. Always grabbed the the my old one first. The auto was handy at times with the big innershield Mig when I knew it would be an all day project. Even then with the hood down I found myself doing the head bob thing to get the filter in place :rofl:
