The OEL AFW40LF-FL-BS-GTX is a Category 4 arc flash protection hood designed to deliver comprehensive face and head enclosure with integrated visibility features. Built on PYRAD by GORE-TEX fabric, this single-layer material is inherently water resistant and windproof while aiming to reduce heat stress for workers in hot or exposed environments. The hood emphasizes freedom of movement, a key consideration for field technicians who need to work with both hands free and clear visibility, and it includes a lift-front clear lens with a shield locking mechanism to simplify lens access and retention. The design also incorporates six indirect ventilation points and a dual 50 CAL/cm2 articulating lighting system paired with a dual 9V module fan setup to support visibility and cooling without compromising arc-flash protection credentials. Made in America, the garment is tested to meet essential safety standards for arc flash apparel and bears the CAL rating of 40 CAL/cm2 (CAT 4).
This hood is suitable for electrical and industrial settings requiring NFPA 70E compliance, CSA Z462, and ASTM F1506, alongside OSHA 1910.269 conformance. It is color-specified in charcoal gray for high-visibility integration with other PPE and workwear. The package is listed as each, aligning with standard safety apparel packaging practices. For buyers, verify compatibility with existing protective hoods and face shields, ensure proper sizing and fit, and consult the included spec sheet for detailed construction and maintenance guidance.
