This helmet is poorly constructed. The straps are not adjustable, so it is difficult to get a good fit. The ear protection cups barely come below the helmet so that the edge of the helmet cuts into your ears. After one use, I have decided not to use this product.

This is a well made helmet for chain saw work. The face shield screen is much better than the type with clear plastic, no scratching or fogging up. The ear muffs have three positions; up and out of the way on the helmet, down but away from the ear so you can hear between chainsawing, and close to the ear. The sound attenuation is really good so your ears don't get damaged. The headband has a padded sweat band and a 3M brand adjuster. The bucket itself is a standard bump cap type. It won't protect you if the tree falls on your head! The downside to this is that it is a B!+ch to assemble. I gave up after few minutes and had my wife assemble it.

This was a present for a person who had just purchased a new chain saw and I was worried about his safety when using it. He was pleased with receiving this helmet and I was very pleased with the price, quick shipment and features of the purchase.

This helmet's ear protection is excellent as well as the other safety features. A lot of chainsaw helmets do not have very good ear protection, but this one does. And the color outshines all the rest. They are dull orange.

I really like this helmet. It is light and it provides a good fit (at least for my head). The product was very easy to put together, I didn't even have to look at the instructions. The ear protection works well and the shield holds back any shavings and small branches. It is not heavy duty but it probably works well for most people.

I purchased this soundtrack mainly for 3 songs but the whole album is a great listen.

place this cd in your player, and let it play, you will play it over and over. I have the CD from 1993 still

Even if you have the DVD of The Crow, you'll want to get the soundtrack album. A great combination of grunge, industrial and alternative... it rocks. There are very few movie soundtracks that I'd recommend (Heavy Metal, The Matrix, and Mission Impossible 2 are others), but this is /definitely/ one of them. The only two real disappointments with the CD are the fact that the song "Can't Rain All the Time" is not the version played by Hangman's Joke in the movie, but instead is some very mellow thing that sounds like it came out of Thelma & Louise rather than this movie. The other disappointment is that the rocking guitar work done by 'Eric' in the movie (on the roof, before the office fight) isn't included. Other than that... a lot of great stuff to blow out your speakers with. Rage Against the Machine (their usual kick-butt anti-discrimination rants), Helmet (cranked up crunching), "Golgotha Tenement Blues" by Machines of Loving Grace (one of the most recognizable songs in the movie), the Christian rock of For Love Not Lisa ("Slip Slide Melting"), "Time Baby III" by Medicine (the live version in the movie is slightly better, but this is still decent), and the excellent zombie stomp energy of "After the Flesh" by My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult (my favorite song on the whole album... juiced up head banging). There's the highland semi-monotone "Snakedriver" by The Jesus And Mary Chain, the egotistical "Dead Souls" by NIN (entirely written, performed and produced by Trent Reznor), "Burn" by The Cure (which could easily be the title track from the movie - probably the loudest thing they've ever done), and a fairly decent one from Stone Temple Pilots ("Big Empty"). The other three songs... personally I don't like Violent Femmes, Rollins Band or Pantera - but to each their own; you might like them. Note that 99% of the songs on this album aren't available anywhere else - this is the only place you'll find them. Probably the only exception is Helmet... their song "Milquetoast" is also available on Betty. Everything else on this album is bloody unique. If you like music that cranks, stuff that isn't the usual radio pablum and pop, then you'll want to grab this CD. Play it loud.

Excellent mix of songs in tribute to Brandon Lee and to the original movie The Crow

Back in the early 90's, all these artists were basically on the cutting edge I guess of rock and alternative rock. Most of these tracks I believe were only on this CD for years till they found their way on to comp discs once these artists collected enough catalog to put one out. It can pummel you one minute, and soothe you the next, and it lifts your spirits for the most part, even makes you think about something other than your problems at the time, for me with great music, it provides an escape from the trials of life and for a young mind that is quite often a road well traveled. Rollins Band, NIN, Helmet, Pantera, Rage Against The Machine, The Cure, Thrill Kill Kult, Violent Femmes...to have all these bands with rare/new songs at the time on one CD, and have them be Good songs (!) is what makes this soundtrack to me about as important as maybe the Singles Soundtrack, or the Judgement Night Soundtrack from around these times. I have really never even seen the movie, but this collection always paints a nice picture of what it might be like. This CD brings back alot of memories of some type of nervous anxiety about the world and trying to grow up in a world that seemed so big and confusing to me. As if we all knew what it was all about one minute and had it by the (horns) and the next minute it seemed to spiral out of control, the type of day you had seemed to predict the type of music you would listen to that night.

One could not ask for any better service and the price for a new CD was better than some used CD listings

In 1981, my husband gave me an 8-track that had the entire play spoken words and lyrics for the soundtrack of The Man of La Mancha". It was wonderful!. We all know what happened to 8-tracks but I was able to get it transfered onto cassette before machine and 8-track destructed. I was not so fortunate with my cassette. It died before I could afford the technology to dub it onto cd. So imagine my excitement when I saw I could get the cd from Amazon. That was a few years ago and I was very disappointed then to get ONLY the songs, no dialog, not even Sancho singing Don Quixote's 'missive' do Aldonza as she finishes up in the kitchen and sends a dirty dishrag as the token. It was 2 years after my husband gave me that first 8-track before I saw a local production of the play and learned that nothing had been left off that soundtrack. What excitement when I read added tracks in the above description and bought another cd. Yes there is one more track but you still don't hear Don Quixote's battles with the giant Matagoga or the Great Enchanter who turns out to be Sanson Carasco. It was the dialog that led me to read the book so many years ago (a great pleasure). How I wish I didn't have to wait for another theater production to enjoy the whole play again. The record album was also no help. If any one out there has the entire play PLEASE comment!!! However the music quality was excellent on this cd.

I have a love of this Musical, since childhood, and it still does its magic for all young or old, very emotionally charged.

Though i really enjoy this product, i was a bit disappointed that the singing is not as good as I would like. The performance seems forced and none of the singing seem to be coming from professional singers. They might be good actors but their singing is terrible. The movie with Sophia Loren and Peter O'toole has much better singing than this performance.

I had this album on vinyl in 1978 and this CD is just as good. No one can do this role as well as Richard Kiley !

Um, I really liked this video and the stone temple pilots are kick *** in it. They were why I bought the video but there were also so many other cool bands on there and they were just as good.

Led Zeppelin have been one of my fav bands since i have been born(others PJ,Blind Melon, Dave Matthews Band,REM)anyway this is such a great rendition of Zeppelin's work. Definetly the greatest tribute recordings. The credit is due to Hootie and the Blow Fish, Blind Melon, STP and and Tori Amos...and the others. Well thats it...buy it buy it buy it...

I had to cut the nose-bridge area completely out since it pushed down on my nose. This isn't just me having a big nose; a friends young son tried it on too and had the same problem. Other than that, they're great costume goggles.

I got these for my Doctor Horrible's Sing-Along Blog costume and they ROCK. They cause an indentation on the forehead if you wear them like Dr. Horrible; but Moleskin can solve that problem. See you at Dragon*Con!

I purchased these goggles for a steampunk costume. I love how the lenses come out easily so I could paint the goggle; a screw-in piece holds the lenses in and can be unscrewed for removal. However, the goggles are huge for my face and head, so I won't be able to wear them on top of my head comfortably. Still, they are a great look, and also useful for protecting eyes while cutting onions.

Absolutely great for costumes and hiding your ugly mug on Chat Roulette. I scared the poop out of my kids, which is always an added bonus. :)

I bought these for a costume, so I cannot comment on their functionality, but one thing that I can comment on is the comfort level. These goggles will give you a headache in seconds if you wear them on your forehead and even when worn over your eyes, they don't fit right. The adjustable straps barely help and the rubber part that makes up the body of the goggles was way too big to fit my face. However, they were very cheap, so I guess I got what I paid for.

This is my first helmet, I never touched a welder until tonight and got this as starter helmet. The auto darkening feature is amazing...when the arc starts it dims perfectly. How did people use the old style helmets for decades (!?) I too thought the lens size was larger, but now I see why some people are upset. The photo Amazon uses has a reflection on the lens which obscures it...the top half is the sensor...the bottom half the viewport. If you look at photos of the other sub $100 auto-darkening helmets they all use exactly the same lens assembly. For this price I'm totally satisfied.

I bought this helmet to take a welding course. I guess this is a case of you-get-what-you-pay-for. This is probably ok for very occasional use, but step up to a pro-helmet if you intend to do more than that. Otherwise, it is a waste of money. My first complaint is that EVERYTIME you flip it up, the torque on the flip adjusters change and it tends to creep down, constantly. That is really annoying over a three hour class when I am flipping it up every couple of minutes. The bigger problem is that doesn't cover enough of your head in the down position, causing two problems: the first is that weld sparks land on your head. wearing a hat fixes that but at the expense of comfort and good fit. The second problem is much more aggravating: light reflects on the back of the lense, making it very, very difficult to see the work you are welding. This is even worse if you wear bi- or trifocals which restrict the range of head motion you can use to get into focal length of the work.

Although this helmet does what it's "suppose" to do it's not worth the money. I had welded with this helmet for less than 10 hours and the head band already broke. Since that many other problems have incurred and just to say, it's not worth the price. I am currently looking for another helmet that will be better. I will spend the money on a name I trust to get something I trust that will work.

The viewing lens is 1 7/16" x 3 13/16" not 6" x 6". This may be a fine helmet otherwise but I refuse to give more than 1 star to a product with such a blatant lie in it's description. I know, buyer beware, I should have known I wasn't getting 6" x 6" at this price.

I remember when these helmets cost hundreds of dollars. Even though MIG welding was part of my job for years, I was too cheap to buy one. Now, the price is very reasonable and makes sense for even hobby welding (I use my MIG welder for metal trellises). Wasn't expecting too much, but the Neiko is really quite a revelation. It works great and it doesn't seem flimsy to me. You like that light weight when you wear the thing all day! I like the knob adjuster on the head strap, a high-end touch. The viewing area is quite large, much bigger than the old designs were, and the darkening seems to be instant and reliable. Sure is nice to see what you are doing! My welding is certainly more accurate and attractive now. Two things bother me, though. One is that you have to place the unit on your head just right, and keep it there, or it will pinch the top of your ears when you pivot it down. My ears to not stick out, aren't big or anything, yet it got me a few times if I didn't pay attention. It really hurt, and blood even. I am going to apply tape to the part of the hinge that gets me. The directions are terrible! My goodness, there are probably ten million Chinese with PHDs in English and this is what they come up with? They must have gotten some worker off the line who was taking Beginning English at night school. This is, after all, a safety device and you would want to make sure your settings were correct. Eye-burns are not a good thing and new welders might not really understand how to interpret this. No excuse for bad directions on any sort of tool, even if it is made in China (it is). Hmm, four or five stars? I choose....four. Highly recommended, but the directions and ear-pnching issues irritate me.

Love my hardhat! Fast service. Price was right. Adjustable interior. Perfect for my job when I have to enter construction sites.

This is very comfortable to wear and can be used for other areas of work besides construction. I got mine to wear while weedeating as we have a lot of rocks. I wish I'd had it when we built my daughter a house since it would have saved me the two times I got knocked in the head. (Evidently my head is pretty hard anyway though since I only saw stars but didn't get completely knocked out.) My husband guffawed when this came in the mail and said he had 2 white hardhats and would have given me one if I'd asked. I told him if I couldn't work outside dressed stylishly, then he could do the weedeating. Even he was impressed with the OSHA sticker inside it...and actually told me I wasn't supposed to remove the sticker....like OSHA was going to be coming around checking out my headgear when I was weedeating! There's slots if you want to add a strap but since you can tighten it up easily enough, you really don't need a strap. Very durable plastic and lovely color. Very fashionable...

this hardhat is comfortable and durable, but the only problem i have with it is that it's difficult to adjust the size. i build concrete skateboard parks, and being the only girl on the crew it's rad to have a pink hardhat. but if i want to wear my beanie under it (which i have wanted to do quite a few times in ohio late fall) i can't adjust the size. but it's still good for it's purpose.

I needed a hard hat, and wanted one that was "me". I LOVE the color, and it's exactly what I expected it to be. It arrived very quickly. I will definitely come back to Wren Storage for my safety needs.

Great product, fully functional and fun to wear. I recently purchased this product along with the pink GirlGear tool belt and pink safety glasses for my best friend who just completed a beautiful deck, singlehandedly at age 56! It was a great surprise and a fun way to celebrate her accomplishment.She looks terrific wearing all three. She also intends to wear the hard hat and glasses when she does "walk throughs" on construction sites as part of her job. A great product, well made, and fun.

"The Steel Helmet" has not been available for years on DVD, and finding this was a joy! For those of you who do not know who Sam Fuller is, he is the director who brought us "The Big Red One", one of the finest and most accurate World War 2 films ever made. Mr. Fuller was a dogface rifleman in the 1st Infantry Division, and wanted people to know how gritty and terrible war was. During the filming of the "Big Red One", he came up behind his young actors and fired a .45 pistol over their heads and when they hit the dirt, he snorted, "That's what combat's like!" Gene Evans' portrayal of the hard-bitten sergeant in Korea in this film is superb, and was followed up in 1951's "Fix Bayonets!", which I also highly recommend. Both served as models for the the comic "Sgt Rock" which I loved as a kid. Both these films rank with "Battleground!", but because they were considered B-movies, never got the recognition. If you want to see what life was like for the WW2 and Korean-era ground pounders this is the film for you.

I Shot Jesse James: "Whatya got to eat?" asks Bob Ford, who backshot his great friend Jesse James not too long ago. Says Joe, the bartender at the Silver King Saloon in Creede, Colorado, "Sweet corn, cornmeal mush, cornpone with cracklins and corn whiskey." "I'll have it," says Bob. Lukewarm corn, cooked ambitiously, is about all there is in Sam Fuller's debut as a director. Fuller had been writing scripts and story outlines in Hollywood for quite awhile. Finally he made a three-movie deal with a B movie producer: If I can direct the movies, and I won't charge you, I'll write the screenplays. These three movies are Criterion's Eclipse Series 5-The First Films of Samuel Fuller. The set includes I Shot Jesse James, The Baron of Arizona and The Steel Helmet. The first of the three, I Shot Jesse James, is a potentially intriguing story of a loser, but told with a script that has little tension, directed with little flair and acted, for the most part, with a dull, steady cadence. A good deal of the dialogue and many of the actors are just competent. Still, if you're a Fuller fan, I Killed Jesse James may be worth watching. Fuller, in my view, was not one of the great directors (or screenwriters). He wasn't one of the great craftsmen, either. What he had was a tough, knock-about personal story, a confident willingness to dance to his own music, a streak of subversiveness that could undermine the fatuousness of Hollywood and its establishment, and enough talent to take the commonplace material and actors he often was dealt and turn at least parts of his movies into something to admire. He was the kind of Hollywood non-Hollywood director that some cineastes and film critics adore. His movies are variable. In my opinion, most of them don't hold up very well unless the viewer has been first captured by Sam Fuller's iconic anti-establishment reputation. Pickup on South Street is probably his best work, with fine performances by an A-level cast and an unusual script considering it was originally intended as an anti-Commie screed. The Big Red One, highly praised by many, is an effective war movie dear to Fuller's heart, but it seems to go on and on and on. For the rest of his movies, those that I've seen, there are excellent bits and pieces mixed into a B-movie sensibility, awkward dialogue (almost any scenes involving a man and woman), and too much discursiveness. Fuller, in my opinion, needed a strong editor and a strong writer with whom to collaborate. I have a feeling that Fuller would find both prospects completely unsatisfactory. But back to I Shot Jesse James. When Bob Ford (John Ireland) puts a bullet in the back of his friend, Jesse James, Ford hopes to gain amnesty and a large reward. He'd been befriended by James and had been part of James' gang. Ford wants to marry the love of his life, the singer Cynthy Waters (Barbara Britton). He thinks he can leave the criminal life and settle down with Cynthy. Instead she rejects him. He's called a coward and a backshooter. Most people hold him in contempt. He gets only a small part of the reward. He still thinks that if only he can make money he can win Cynthy. And there's that straight talkin' guy who likes Cynthy, too, a man named John Kelley (Preston Foster, top billed) who keeps showing up. There's a showdown, and that's that. John Ireland does what he can. The Baron of Arizona: The first six minutes of The Baron of Arizona is a ponderous exposition about Arizona by a small group of dignified actors congratulating each other on Arizona's new statehood. Among them is one of the most stilted of voice-over narrators, Reed Hadley. It's a terrible start to what could have been an exceedingly clever movie. After Hadley gives us the secret of James Addison Reavis (Vincent Price), Sam Fuller moves us back from 1912 to 1872. Here, we meet Reavis at the start of his great scam to win the territory of Arizona for himself through forged Spanish land grant documents, self-created histories, great forgery skills, the placing of forged documents in a Spanish monastery, and the grooming of a little girl who he convinces her illiterate guardians is the heir to the phony Peralta land grant claim. In time, love will come about. Vincent Price and the Reavis scam is what the movie is all about. The scam's potential keeps us interested. Price makes Reavis a complicated and intriguing character who captures our interest and a good deal of our sympathy for his hard work. The movie, however, is flawed by its flashback structure, it's jumbled first 40 minutes, by some standard B movie acting and by Hadley's limitations as an actor and as a really irritating narrator. Fuller's tell-us-the-con-early structure bleeds the air out of the balloon. Fuller shot this Poverty Row effort in 15 days. When I've had the opportunity to watch The Steel Helmet, I'll add comments. Until then, these two of three films are examples of flawed B movies, but Sam Fuller fans and, perhaps, others might find them of interest.

This is an invaluable addition to the canon of American film, providing beautiful restorations of the early work of Sam Fuller, one of the great auteurs the 1950s. I would have paid this price just to get "The Steel Helmet," a breakthrough war film that skillfully shows the heroism and horror of combat, with a refreshing moral ambiguity and an almost painful realism. This is no flag-waving recruiting poster, but a no-nonsense depiction of everyday life on the battlefield. Fuller was way ahead of his time. Thank you, Criterion!

The Steel Helmet is probably one of the greatest war films ever put on screen. Fuller transposed many of his own experiences into this Korean War tale, giving the viewer a very raw, gritty look at combat- filmed during a time when you couldn't really show graphic violence on the screen. At the time he shot this movie, WWII had only been over for 5-6 years, so Fuller's feelings are still intense and fresh. I actually like this film better than "Fixed Bayonets" (which isn't bad) and "The Big Red One", which he'd been trying to make ever since he was demobilized from the Army. So, I'm guessing because the other two films in this DVD package are less interesting, the Eclipse Film series is betting that the fans of "The Steel Helmet" will break down and buy the whole thing, just for Fuller's war movie classic. Personally, I'm holding out as long as I can. Bottom line, "The Steel Helmet" is brilliant and powerful. I can't vouch for the other two. Sell "The Steel Helmet" individually, and I'd pay handsomely for it.

I SHOT JESSE JAMES ****1/2 1949. Written and directed by Samuel Fuller. Robert Ford shoots Jesse James in the back in order to get the reward and start a new life but his girl-friend doesn't want him anymore after Jesse's murder so Robert heads to Colorado to make a fortune. Superb psychological western with a first-class performance of John Ireland as Robert Ford. Note the scene of the theatre when Robert Ford is trying, as an actor playing his own character, to recreate Jesse James's murder before the audience: simply a little jewel. Highly recommended. THE BARON OF ARIZONA ***1/2 1950. Written and directed by Samuel Fuller. An office clerk imagines an unbelievable swindle, patiently forging proofs that his wife is the legal owner of Arizona. Vincent Price is imperial as a womanizer, a monk, a gypsy and finally as the Baron of Arizona. The most impressive scene of the film is the scene of the lynching which already foreshadows the future masterpieces of Samuel Fuller. Recommended. THE STEEL HELMET ***** 1951. Written, produced and directed by Samuel Fuller. THE STEEL HELMET was the first American movie about the Korea war which started just six months before its theatrical release. Eight soldiers, trapped in a Buddhist temple, fight the communist North Korean army. Be prepared for eighty-five minutes of non-stop tension. Samuel Fuller reveals here his taste for bizarre scenes which leave you wondering why this director isn't more appreciated. Masterpiece. All in all, an indispensable box set for every movie lover. Don't be the last one to rediscover the most underrated American film director. Bring Sam Fuller to where he should already be. In your library.

If six stars were available, I'd give it a six. From watching this I have three suggestions: Buy it Buy it Buy it This is one of the funniest videos you'll watch in your lifetime. There is an old theory in comedy that the closer the joke is to the truth, the funnier it is. Brad's 'realizations' are just that. He has taken some of the most obvious realizations that those of us without his wit haven't made and brought them to the stage. Moreover, it's a video you can watch with the family (you can't say that about too many videos). The only better decision you could make in your life than buying this video is going to see him in concert. Sincerely, Dr. Scott C

We really enjoyed this DVD. It was even funnier the 2nd time we viewed the DVD. Brings up some very humorous points of view. Great for the whole family for a good laugh.

I had heard Brad Stine's comedy before and even had one of his other CDs. Then, I had the pleasure of seeing him in concert last week. His performance was fabulous. He is not only hilarious; he is extremely bright and relevant. After his show, I bought some of his material. One of the things I got was, 'Put A Helmet On'. What a find! It is full of extremely funny routines on a wide range of topics including: Animal Rights Activists, Bug Rights Activists, Christmas vs. Halloween, and many more. Besides his humor, he makes very well thought out points about changes in our society over the last few decades in such areas as protecting us from ourselves (helmet laws), the self esteem movement in schools, the secularization of holidays (Christmas turning into winter holiday, etc.), and many more. Although I love all of his humor and his criticisms of some of the things mentioned in the previous paragraph, my favorite part is actually a segment on Christian apologetics that lasted 5:37. In that bit, he did a superb summary of proofs for the Christian faith, the reliability of Scripture, etc. It is a segment that everyone should hear. Christians will enjoy a brief summary of evidences and skeptics will have great food for thought. I highly recommend this CD.

Finally - a CLEAN comedian that is funny, and he is a Christian. Also, his comedy is intelligent. His material left me thinking long after watching it. I have watched this over and over with different friends and recommend it to everyone I know.

Most people like Brad Stein because he is a conservative Christian comic. I almost want to say that that's why I dislike him - but that would be me coming from my idealogical viewpoint, instead of just seeing how well he does what he does. So, I'll do the latter instead. I must admit, there are some pretty funny moments in this DVD - although most of them are funnier in retrospect than at the time ("What about the TUNA getting caught in the tuna nets?"). Mr. Stein did have the good grace to send up some of his own kin, at least ("DON'T even TOUCH the COVER -- of the HARRY POTTER BOOKS!!!"), and, when he wasn't shrieking into the microphone and leaping all about the stage like either a) a man inspired by God or b) a loony - and let's face it, is there much of a difference? - he managed to be very funny indeed. However, what with the jumping and shrieking taking up so much of his time, the man's talents simply didn't show up much. PS: In responce to the other reviewer in here - oh, yeah RIGHT, it sure takes a LOT of courage to be outspokenly conservative in our modern world. How did the comedian say it: "[American] news is balanced, it gives us George Bush's side and Dick Cheney's side...." I get really sick of people talking about how BRAVE Mr. Stein is for performing his material. I mean, for crying out loud, he's in a CHURCH! So brave to do Christian comedy in a church surrounded by hundreds of people! Maybe he should PUT A HELMET ON!

We bought these for the kids to wear at my 3 y.o. daughter's jungle/safari-themed birthday party. They were a hit! They look exactly as pictured and were very durable. They also arrived very well packaged. The boys at the party particularly enjoyed these. Definitely worth the purchase!
