23-6680 - 9oz Proban FR Arab-Style Welding Hood with Velcro Straps

Comprehensive Head and Neck Protection for Welders

The Arab FR Hood 9Oz Cotton Proban is a specialized piece of personal protective equipment designed to address the specific risks associated with welding, cutting, and grinding operations. Constructed from high-quality 9 oz. Proban-treated cotton, this hood offers a robust barrier against heat, sparks, and light spatter while maintaining the breathability essential for operator comfort in high-temperature environments. The Proban treatment process ensures that the cotton fabric retains its flame-retardant properties over time, provided that care instructions are followed, making it a durable addition to any welder's safety kit.

Unlike standard welding caps or beanies, the "Arab" style design is engineered to provide extended coverage. It drapes effectively over the ears, down the neck, and onto the shoulders, shielding these vulnerable areas from UV radiation and stray molten metal that can bypass a standard welding helmet. This comprehensive coverage is critical for overhead welding or working in confined spaces where spatter trajectories are unpredictable. The 9 oz. fabric weight strikes an optimal balance, offering substantial protection without the excessive bulk or heat retention often associated with leather alternatives.

A key feature of this model is its secure fastening system. Equipped with Velcro closures and adjustable straps, the hood can be tailored to fit a wide range of head sizes securely. This design prevents the hood from shifting or sliding during active work, ensuring that visual lines remain clear and protection remains constant. The low-profile construction allows it to be worn seamlessly underneath most standard welding helmets and hard hats without interfering with the suspension systems. By integrating this FR hood into their PPE ensemble, safety managers and welders can significantly reduce the risk of minor burns and UV exposure to the head and neck region.
