looks like you fellas were right about the UV filter jobby on the helmet so eyes are all happy today, however i was welding outdoors as the weather was good and foolishly just wearing a t-shirt.

my arms are burned by the UV output from the torch and the back of my neck is a funny sort of scarlet colour from sunburn. i really should learn from these schoolboy errors but never do!

In hot weather, i still wear my single layer nomex overalls with old shorts and a vest / tshirt underneath.
Footwear is always toe-tectors in the garage. Ive had too many close shaves with heavy things in the garage and my feet....
