The OEL AFW40LF-L-N 40 CAL Hood Lift Front is a powered protection solution designed for high-heat, arc-flash environments. This hood is part of OEL’s 40 CAL Clothing line, crafted from premium FR textiles and hand-sewn in America to meet stringent arc flash safety standards. The product integrates a lift-front hood with a premium clear lift-front HT lens, and is constructed to accommodate non-metallic, non-conductive materials in a navy finish. The kit includes a 40 CAL premium lift-front lens, lift-front hood fabric, and a Class E rated hard hat, forming a cohesive head and face protection system intended for controlled, high-energy tasks.
Key construction features include dual reinforced stitching and a lift-front design that supports visibility and air flow. Optional add-ons expand ventilation and lighting capabilities: retro-fitted dual 50 Cal articulating lights, rear ventilation with a 9V HC fan, and indirect air ventilation ports, which can enhance comfort and cooling in demanding work conditions. The fabric blend is specified as an 88/12 premium Indura cotton mix, and the color is navy, aligning with many industrial PPE color standards. Washing instructions permit bleaching and hydrogen peroxide, which informs maintenance planning for site-appropriate decontamination workflows.
For buyers, this hood is positioned as a Category 4 PPE solution that complies with NFPA 70E, CSA Z462, ASTM F1506, and OSHA 1910.269, with a CAL rating of 40 CAL/cm². These standards-focused details help customers verify suitability for arc-flash protection requirements in their specific operations. The product is packaged as an individual kit, with each unit including the hood and a compatible Class E hard hat, and is supported by downloadable spec sheets for technical reference. When selecting this hood, verify compatibility with your hard hat model and confirm any add-on lighting or ventilation options meet your site needs.
