3M 1000 APF Kit for Speedglas G5-01 Welding Helmet

I use the head cover. The neck shroud is a total miss.

The rear head cover is very good, and lives on my helmet. The neck shroud is a complete fail for me. I love the coverage it would offer but it seems fit for a hobbit. Granted, I'm a big guy, but I can't secure the front all the way up, in any configuration. The only way I could possibly use it is to leave the top few inches open, which defeats much of the purpose. I'm keeping the kit because I do use part of it, and I'll give the shroud another try at some point. Maybe it's user error. 5 star head cover, 1 star neck shroud, 3 star average.
