Built from a premium 88/12 Indura cotton blend, this hood is part of OEL’s American-made line, with hand-stitched construction and materials sourced from domestic suppliers. The kit includes a Switchgear Hood complete fabric, a Class E rated hard hat, and a 40 CAL premium clear HT lens, all aimed at providing reliable arc flash protection while supporting visibility through a premium anti-scratch and anti-fog coating.
Key features highlighted by the manufacturer include non-metallic, non-conductive materials, retro-fitted motion light, and retro-fitted dual fan unit mounts, along with dual reinforced stitching and a standard switchgear style. The product is designed to be used in environments where arc flash hazards may be present, and it carries established compliance with NFPA 70E, CSA Z462, ASTM F1506, and OSHA 1910.269, reflecting its suitability for regulated electrical safety applications.
Practical considerations for use include care details such as washing instructions noting bleach and hydrogen peroxide compatibility. The hood’s navy color and FDA/ANSI-aligned labeling are part of the packaging and specification presentation. As with any arc-rated PPE, verify sizing, fit, and maintenance needs prior to use, and consult the included spec sheet for additional technical details and performance data.
