Help with Speedglas question

[superspec]

I picked up a 9002x the other day for $60, guy said it needed batteries. OK fine...cant go wrong for $60 was my thinking. I got it home and changed the batteries and got nothing. I took it to my LWS who I'm on a first name basis with and they said they would ship it for warranty.

My question is I want the one that the lens flips up out of the way and has the grinding/clear lens in it. Can I just buy the shell and swap the AD housing over or are they different?

This would defeat the purpose of the AD.
Basic sheild is the way to go IMO.

a quick comparison and assuming you are referring to the 9100 helmets with the flip lid, i dont think they are interchangeable. the lens kits for the flip ones all say " for 9100 series only" alot and the lenses for the basic helmets dont mention the 9100's for what the lenses fit.

This would defeat the purpose of the AD.
Basic sheild is the way to go IMO.

i think you are thinking of the older stlye fixed shade helmets with the small flip up lens, superspec is referring to this style i believe. badass helmets for sure, but starting at $375 and going up and up is out of my budget

Exactly what I was thinking about Stooge. I was hoping someone here had both and could compare.

Thanks

The 9000 and 9100 headgear are completely different. I do not believe there are any parts that can be interchanged between either.
