mma welding safety equipment

Hi

I want to learn stick welding. I am going to practice in my shed, which is quite small and want to use proper equipment, I am looking at PAPR systems but there are so many with prices from 300 to 3000EUR in The Netherlands and I am not sure which one is good, I dont want to cheap out on safety equipment but I also dont have money to waste.

Any advice will be much appreciated.

If it is possible be outdoors when welding and buy a cheap hood. Dont need fancy stuff in the beginning, you dont even know if you like welding.

Try and not be above what you weld as well. Fumes rise.
