Shell Hood

The Shell Hood has adjustable ratchet headgear attached to a sturdy fiberglass reinforced frame. Providing an excellent range of vision, the window is constructed of 40 mil vinyl permanently sealed to the hood with the use of a 17” X 8” cover window (20 mil thick) resting inside a snap-enclosed pocket for easy replacement. Underarm straps with plastic quick release fittings hold the front and rear bibs close to the body. A standard hang-up loop is included in the design for easy storage. Specially designed options include a perforated airline that provides airflow around the entire inside of the hood (some versions can accommodate a full-face airline respirator if needed) and the option to add headgear to accommodate a hard hat for additional protection. Available in chest length or waist length. The 077-4060 HiGlo Shell Hood design may be in stock and could ship within 2 business days. The remaining designs are manufactured to order.

Chlorinated Polyethylene is easily recognized by its bright orange color so that it is readily identifiable in hazardous conditions. CPE is a 23 mil thick proprietary formulated fabric that provides outstanding chemical and flame resistance while maintaining flexibility in low temperatures. It also provides superior protection from inorganic acids, oxidizing acids and aliphatic hydro-carbons. CPE fabric meets and exceeds the Flame Impingement criteria set forth in ASTM F1358.

HiGlo is a bright yellow, proprietary polyvinyl chloride compound that is coated on both sides. Our compound gives the fabric a softer, more pliant feel and superb low temperature flexibility.
