The OEL AFW40LF-F-KJB-W Lift Front Hood 40 CAL Jacket and Bib Overall Kit is an arc-rated personal protective ensemble designed for high-exposure environments. This Category 4 kit targets professionals requiring substantial arc flash protection, leveraging an 88/12 premium Indura cotton blend fabric. The setup includes a 40 CAL jacket and bib-overall, paired with a Class E-rated hard hat and HT clear faceshield to provide integrated head and facial protection. The product is hand-sewn in the USA, reflecting OEL’s emphasis on domestic production and quality control, and the design supports compliance with NFPA 70E, CSA Z462, ASTM F1506 & F2178, and OSHA 1910.269 standards as indicated in the accompanying specifications.
Key construction and features emphasize non-metallic, non-conductive materials and reinforced stitching for durability in demanding environments. The lift-front hood is described as premium in styling, with a clear HT lift-front lens option and indirect/ventilated air pathways to help manage heat buildup during extended wear. The kit’s practical configuration includes assembled lift-front hood, headgear storage bag, and a compact duffle bag for site-to-site transport and organization. Availability of add-on options, such as dual 50 Cal articulating lights and rear ventilation with a 9V battery-powered fan, provides modular customization to suit specific job conditions.
For serviceability and use, the kit’s washing guidance specifies bleach and hydrogen peroxide, which informs field maintenance when necessary. The specification section confirms Category 4 PPE with NFPA 70E, CSA Z462, ASTM F1506 & F2178, and OSHA 1910.269 alignment, along with the CAL rating of 40 CAL/cm². The package is listed as “Each,” and color is Khaki. This information helps buyers verify fitment and compliance before purchasing, and the included spec sheet provides a formal reference for technical assessment.
