I figured out why they're so much cheaper... they're don't meet the current ANSI standard. They meet the 1989 standard.

That said, at 1/3 the cost of a current auto dimmer with those features, and 1/2 the cost of a bottom of the barrel current auto dimmer, over my lunch break, I bit the bullet and picked one up. At only $20 over the cost of standard glass helmet, I figure it'll work for me considering it's not like I'll be using it every day.

I do feel kinda sticky all over though after being in Harbor Freight. :shudder:
