I have 3. One Viking with a cheater lens and one without. I still have old optrel but the battery has been dead for a few years now.

I didn't say who needs more than 1.
I can see maybe a couple, but 12?

My two "extra" helmets hang on pegboard in the garage. My regularly used helmet is in the drawer of the welding cart, and I have another one in the back seat of my truck in case I need it at work.

You can do better.

I know I can. I'm watching for #13 now so I can do better

Yes, I admit I have a sickness or fetish for welding helmets. I have about 12 different welding helmets, some I use all the time, some I use seldom, some I have because they’re cool(Huntsman 411P with a vintage Harris gold lens).
I need a way to store these helmets without hanging them over a cylinder or some such. I do not want to put them in drawers or cabinets.
Any ideas?

Just never take it off, equip your family each with one as well for storage. Like storm troopers

Only one helmet that I use, it is stored in the plastic bag it came in and is in a cabinet. It actually stays clean.

Last night I happened to think about this while in the shop.
I was wrong, I have 8 helmets not 12.
3 Huntsman 411P(because they are cool and one has a Harris gray/gold 2x4 lens), 2 Pipeliners, 1 Weldcote Klearview for visitors to wear, a Speedglas 9100(former main helmet) and an ESAB Sentinel(main helmet).
No, it's not a normal number of helmets but they don't eat anything and I don't have to pay taxes on them.
