You are correct about the size.  Roughly 1" x 3".  However that is a
standard size.  I purchase my helmet about 1 yr before I purchased the
auto darkening lense.  My helmet used the standard size filters 1" x 3".

When I purchased auto darkening lense, several years ago from Northern,
they were running $100 for the 1" x 3" and almost $300 for the larger one.
I was glad I had the 1" x 3" filters.
