OEL AFW25SGHL-N 25 CAL Switchgear Hood Navy w/Hood Light

The OEL AFW25SGHL-N is a switchgear hood designed for arc-flash protection in energized electrical environments. This navy-colored hood utilizes an 88/12 premium Indura cotton blend fabric and is built to align with Category 3 protection requirements, delivering a practical garment option for workers who need reliable arc-rated head and face coverage alongside integrated features typical of switchgear headgear. The kit includes a 40 CAL premium clear hard-view lens with anti-scratch and anti-fog coating, a switchgear hood fabric, and a Class E rated hard hat, presenting a coordinated protection ensemble for compatible applications.

Key construction and features focus on non-metallic, non-conductive materials and reinforced stitching to withstand the demands of field use while supporting visibility and communication. The hood’s design accommodates a retro-fitted motion light and dual fan unit mounts, and it employs a premium clear HT lens to aid visibility in hazardous work zones. The garment is hand-sewn in the USA and manufactured to meet recognized arc-flash safety standards, reflecting OEL’s commitment to domestic production and verified performance within its arc-rated clothing line.

Typical use cases involve workers performing switchgear maintenance and other electrical tasks where NFPA 70E, CSA Z462, ASTM F1506, and OSHA 1910.269 compliance are relevant benchmarks. Proper care and washing require bleach or hydrogen peroxide as part of the included guidance. The product is listed with a 25 CAL/cm² rating (CAT3) and ships as an individual package, with color coded in navy. For purchasers, it’s important to verify compatibility with your existing face and head protection lineup and ensure the hood fits the Class E hard hat included in the kit.
