Cover the leather with sensitive skin foamy shaving cream, as much as you would use on your face. Hang it from the leather with some alligator clips and re lather it with foamy every couple hours or as often as possible (I had the same thing happen, fixed it proper.) Cheers

Leather needs leather conditioner on it regularly. Don't blame the company for your lack of knowledge of maintenance

[@jmfarms3555]

I have ran lots of flux core. 5/64 wire. It does get very hot. I have actually a time or two melted the the tip and nozzle off the welder. It was dual shield flux core so as soon as the nozzle melts you lose the C02 shielding gas and get porosity in the weld. Fun times

Overall I ditched all my pipeliners completely and I am now using my cheap $12 plastics hoods only. They are lighter, more compact, cheaper, have a better flip front, flexible, and have a better system to swap out lenses so they beat the Sellstrom on a pipeliner in every category that matters to me.

@@JTwelder. do you not maintain your car or your other tools? A welding hood requires maintenance...I use an outlaw on the ROW every single day, and it just requires a quick wipe down with oil once a week. The outlaw hoods were designed for pipeline use. Just like the pancake hoods. Maybe outlaw should state on their website that their hoods are for real welders...

I heard you can put electrical tape around the flip up where the lights get in. When mine warped I just put electrical tape around it and now the light doesn't get in at all. But I would rather get a new one

[@koshjosak]

I saw those hoods on Facebook being advertised but already had a pipeliner in perfectly good shape. So since I can't leave anything alone... I decided to use an old leather welding sleeve I had and cut out a piece just for the top of the pipeliner... I was worried that the bottom leather wouldn't hold up and it looks like I thought right... Boy that really stinks. I would recommend a half chopped setup with just the top cut like I have. Super lightweight and still durable on the bottom

[@JTwelder.]

Yeah man you were right! I no longer use pipeliners because of the weight and the flip front situation but I will be modifying one of my new shields with some cheap leather like you did.

[@evanhughes6788]

I have two outlaw hoods love both of them, both tiger hoods, 1 flip front 1 large window. One of mine did something similar to this, condition the shit out of the leather and then steam iron it flat. Then stop sitting it on the leather like that. Problem solved

[@Camigga]

How do you prevent the flip up warping?

[@furknee217]

if you condition the leather it will soften up.also, ive seen this done plenty in industrial settings. the leather they use is also thinner.

[@martinrandez7021]

thanks for sharing your opinion! Not sure if you've tried this but You may be able to reset the leather by soaking it (as needed) with water. Then as it slowly air dries, hang the hood in a proper stance, re-position the leather, and apply a bit of leather protection so the hide doesn't crack when completely dry. I've had success re-shaping leather that way :)

[@aztharz5637]

The leather is SUPER easy to replace. Order some leather on etsy, and buy some Chicago style fasteners for leather off amazon. The fasteners screw together, and are easily replaceable. I ordered high quality ostritch leather off etsy, and made my own helmet, WAY nicer than that outlaw. Lmao but i love leather work, i made a full leather hoodie with built in gauntlet 5mm thick. I stitched it together with Kevlar thread. All the boys at work try to get me to make one for them.

[@johnthomas8605]

There are a couple tricks to keep your bottom leather from curling up. Clean your hood. I wipe mine down daily or as needed with spray furniture polish to included the leather. Keep it conditioned with mink oil (maybe once a week). Occasionally or as needed, clean the leather with saddle soap. Another tip to keep your bottom leather from curling up is, stop setting the hood down so that it pushed the leather up. Every time you set the hood down in a way that the leather is pushed up, you are training the leather to curl up. I almost always hang my hood on a hook on my bottle topper or on a hook on the side of my fab cart. A welding hood is an investment, take care of it. I have been running cut down hoods, mostly pipeliners, for quite a while

Go back and watch the ENTIRE video. There's a list of reasons why I don't use it, the leather is just one of those reasons. Later in the video I show the shield that I currently use, it requires absolutely no maintenance and is overall much better!

add a small magnet to the hood above the flip up lens. or to your hardhat. helps with all the dust and little metal bits

Whenever u take off the clear lense, u have to remove the little plastic cover in the back and then they will all slide off easily. And when installing new lense put them inside and then add the plastic thing back together 👌🏾👍

[@JTwelder.]

You are thinking of the Tiger hood flip thats the wrong shield bud. This is a Shellstrom flip and they have a steel retainer not plastic and it also can only be slid out the side slot not popped out the back and to even remove it all the lenses have to be pulled out and also it can only be installed before lenses.

[@sledsports]

What's wrong with the stock Fibermetal flip fronts?

[@marquezs22]

It helps when setting these Hoods down, to flip the Leather inside of the hood, it’ll keep the leather uniform longer.

[@Cr0n0F0x]

Or just don't set the helmet down where it bends the leather like that, instead hang it or do what you said the mask became useless because he was ignorant or arrogant, not the hood's fault. Also, if he wanted to be warmer then don't buy a drafty helmet and get a more insulated one lol

[@KorrTenn]

Glad I saw this. Thank you for the review

[@michaellazzell4296]

Dude I’ve had my outlaw for well over a year. You never set it down like that. I’ve melted a flip up and my leather is still the same shape it was when I bought it.

[@JTwelder.]

I had the fiber metal quick connect hard hat adapters on shield so there was no way to hang it up. Had no choice but to set it down. If they used a lower more flexible grade of leather for the bottom it wouldn’t have been a problem but since they use the higher grade stiffer leather it warps. Bottom line is back the outlaw was mostly making their shields for looks and not performance. So many people had this problem with the leather warping that outlaw had to offer a warranty program where they will replace or restore the bottom leather if you ship in your shield.

[@J_C_Welding]

I know people are saying all these different soaps and products and you found a better hood already (btw i git the welding hood you recommended its amazing) but maybe if you heated it hot again an then pull it back in place but i understand you hate that hood so 😂 love the princess auto flip hood 👍

i took the princess auto hood you got there, went to a leather shop, grabbed a chunk of thinner leather than the outlaw leather style (non polished i think is the term) drilled a couple holes and cut the lower half off the helmet. works perfect for tight spaces, light, durable, and after putting in a nice fixed shade shade 11 lens came out to 60 bucks canadian. i weld fire surpression pipe in a fab shop in ottawa

[@JTwelder.]

Yeah man thats the way to go! We make them all the time when in a pinch in the boilers with those shields. We use pieces from cheap welding jackets for the leather and just zip cut the shield and drill the holes with a pencil grinder then zip tie it all together lol its pretty crude the way we do it but it works in a pinch. Im sure if you put some time and money into it you would have something very nice like you built.

[@claydogm3108]

Hey JTwelder, I am a member of the Boiler Makers local 128. I Just finushed my last term of school for pressure system welder. This is a great video because i was looking at these shields for a while wanting one cause of all the same reasons you stated. But i didnt want to spend the $$ on it. So i just altered that cheap $15 flip front you have. To be similar to the outlaw leather. Leather on the top shield and neck bib protection. I had a similar thing happen. I was working up in Sault ste. marie on a tank job and it was pretty cold. needless to say the leather warped pretty good where the neck protection was and defeated the purpose of the shield. I am not a fan of those tiger hoods to big and bulky and always falling down in front of your face. 1. So what i did was i bought a similar flip front to that one in the video(cheaper flip front). But the hinges for the flip front on this one were plastic and you can take them out easily(sweetness). I removed one of the springs so you can flip the flip front down with a simple nod. (Right on!) similar to this video. 2. Then cut the top off. Plastic part on the top of the shield and riveted leather similar to what the top of the outlaw leather looks like. That part was always pretty good. So it can fit the contour of the hard hat and when your welding 7010 it stops you from wearing the sparks on the money maker lol. 3. I bought a Lincoln Viking shield a while back because well I was a newb. They are more for a shop setting. You dont use them on site cause they will get jacked or broken. But the useful thing about that is it came with a hard hat adapter. It is the best hard hat adapter i have used to date. So I attached that hard hat adapter to the flip front and Bam!!! Works good. You can buy those hard hat adapters seperetely. I recommend trying something similar Bro. Also another point you made in the video. I definetely recommend you to get the flip front pocket hood from outlaw leather. we were doing return bends in school and my buddy was using one and he said he fogged up a little bit. But it was great for the tight spots. So I got one to haha to be honest havn't used it yet but i am sure it will come in handy. Gets rid of all the back light as well, fits like a pancake hood. Anyways cheers man thanks for your content and the pros and cons of the shield. Who knows might work with you on a job some day haha.

My point is ive been using Outlaw hoods for years in many different situations and never had problems. Youre right its just the wrong application which is unfortunate because its a great hood.

I agree. I bought the same one. Love the hood but it did not work for my application.

Treat the leather with Obenauf's LP paste. It's good for your boots too(the paste or oil version).

Gotta oil the leather.

[@lost10mil33]

Need to wet the leather and form it back

[@bcornett501]

Put mink oil on the leather and you won’t have that problem

[@Mikey-ym6ok]

It won't fix the issue.
