The PIP 9150-523ULT Ultralight Hood is a flame-resistant head/neck protection option designed for environments requiring arc flash safety. With a nominal 40 cal/cm2 protection rating, this hood uses a Hybrid Fabric Technology approach to deliver durability in the field while keeping weight down. The shell is constructed from DuPont Protera fiber blend, combining NOMEX, KEVLAR, Modacrylic, and antistatic components to achieve tensile strength and resistance to industrial wash cycles, while the inner layer uses a ultrasoft knit fabric for comfort and breathability. This combination supports reliable performance during extended wear in electrically hazardous settings.
Key fabric construction details include a 33% NOMEX/KEVLAR mix in the shell, 65% Modacrylic, and 2% antistatic treatment, paired with an 88% cotton/12% high-tenacity nylon inner layer. The garment is designed to be more breathable and lighter—claims indicate about a 37% weight reduction compared with traditional HRC4 garments and enhanced tear resistance and tensile strength—attributes that matter for wearer comfort and durability in daily use. It meets multiple industry standards referenced in the product data, including NFPA 70E, ASTM F1506, OSHA 29 CFR 1910.269, and ASTM F2178-12, which helps frame its expected performance in electrical safety programs.
For practical use, the hood is packaged as a single unit and is suitable for use in arc-rated programs that require a hood, with a specific ATPV rating of 40 cal/cm2. Sizing and fit considerations should follow standard PPE hood guidelines, and users should consult the provided spec sheet for maintenance and care recommendations. This product is listed in a Navy color option and aligns with PIP’s PIP series, with the case quantity and packaging described as One per package.
