Arc Flash Baseball Hood with Apron

The Arc Flash Hood with Ear Protection is

designed to protect the wearer's head and neck from

the thermal effects of an electric arc flash, should one

occur whilst working under live conditions, such as

fault-finding.

The one-size-fits-all hood has a comfortable,

lightweight design based on a baseball cap with a

large, clear anti-fog screen making all-day wear

possible.

The hood features extended coverage over the ear area which is potentially vulnerable as the

wearer’s first instinct in an electric arc incident is often to turn away, exposing the side of the

head. The lower apron portion provides two safety features – the first to deflect any heat and

molten debris away from the wearer’s face. The second is to protect the wearer from their own,

natural reaction to an arc flash which is usually to inhale in shock or fright. The apron

significantly reduces the volume of heat and toxic materials that the wearer might inhale.

The clear protective screen is fully removable should it require replacement or the fabric

require laundering. To prevent scratching of the screen, the apron can fold over the screen and

be fastened in place with Velcro to the peak, doubling as a protective cover when the hood is

stored.
