11 or 12 is best. I find 13 too dark.

im a welder by trade [not on cars]wot you need is something that will go from 9 to 13 then you can weld anything you want with it you cant get arc eye on 9 din ,come to think of it you cant get arc eye through a plane bit of glass

as far as i know the glass goes auto to din 11, when it arcs

the other one has an adjuster so you can go from din 9-13

so din 11 will be fine then as it looks a better mask
