    If you watch my video on the helmet you can see the inside. If that doesn't help let me know and I will take a snapshot for you.

    Thanks Gadget, I don’t think a photo would help. I have looked at the specs. on Simon's helmets and I haven’t seen anything that states they will. I found that some of millers helmets have provisions for it.
    Thanks Bob.
    PS on the Miller site I found this

    I finely got a new helmet that would accommodate my magnifier. Thanks to all for the help. I picked a 90002v 3M/Speedglas.

    I just use my regular glasses. I have never tried a helmet with a cheater lens. Maybe I am missing out!
