I have:
Speedglas welding mask W/variable lenses - Super sweet!
Hobart 140 Mig Welder- a breeze to use
Cheap pair of leathers to keep the skin intact
That help?

Cheap $29 helmet, it sucks. Lincoln 110 mig without a bottle, works fine for me. A fire extinguisher rated ABC, a MUST HAVE!

I have a Lincoln 110 with flux in the wire,no tank, ok but the duty cycle is low, and you have to clean the welds constantly to get good tacks,I would definatly upgrade to something with a higher dudy cycle, and c 02 ,I have a Jackson auto dark hood,woorks good indoors, but outside I use standard hood with flip up lens,I also run a cheater lens in that hood,and the fire retardant sleaves are nice,but nothing beats a good leather jacket for overhead stuff
