Need opinions on a custom hood idea.

I've been using speedglas for as long as I can remember, but I hate the way modern hoods pull on your head and yank it forward, especially heavy ones like papr hoods. I've recently tried a fully enclosed welding hood that evenly distributes it weight around your head(It's on one of my other posts) and I loved it for the most part, but it was too heavy for starters; it also lacked a Panoramic view, which is a feature I would like to have. Finding nothing on the market, I think I'm left to design my own. However, I'm having issues finding a helmet that would fully encase my head, that would be up to workplace standards, anyone have any ideas? And sure, safety this, safety that, I work in a garage for myself. No osha here. I'd appreciate any opinions and pointers, thanks in advance.

Anyone seen anything like this before? (Rest of pics in comments)

Haven't been able to fine anything on it, only place I can find anything on it is the ebay auction I won it from.

Fixed my only issue with the optrel weldcap.

Added a button on each side to remove all that pesky glare from this hood.
