Arc Flash Hood for Category 4 Protection
The Arcguard Arc Flash Hood is personal protective equipment rated at 40 cal/sq cm ATPV for Arc Flash PPE Category 4. It is built for workers who face high incident-energy hazards and need a ventilated hood with an integrated face shield. The navy fabric weighs 9 oz and uses breathable FR material that will not melt or ignite. Fans powered by 9-volt batteries attach with fire-resistant hook-and-loop.
Ventilated Design with Anti-Fog PureView Lens
A single-layer PureView faceshield provides a wider range of visibility while the anti-fog coating keeps the window clear during extended wear. The hood includes fans already attached with FR hook-and-loop, so no separate mounting hardware is required. Battery power means the ventilation system works independent of external air lines or vehicle power. The universal size fits a range of head dimensions without additional adjustment straps.
Sustained Wear in High-Heat Environments
The breathable FR fabric and active airflow reduce heat buildup inside the hood during long shifts, helping the wearer stay cooler than passive hoods allow. Anti-fog performance is maintained over time because the coating is integral to the PureView lens rather than a surface treatment that wears off. California Proposition 65 notice applies: the product contains a chemical known to the state to cause cancer.

Questions about this item
How long can the 40 cal/cm² ATPV-rated hood protect me during a sustained arc flash event?
The hood carries a 40 cal/cm² ATPV rating and meets Arc Flash PPE Category 4, which defines its protection limit for sustained arc flash exposure.
Does the ventilated hood stay cool and quiet when the fans run all day on 9-Volt batteries?
The ventilated design uses fans attached with fire-resistant hook-and-loop and powered by 9-Volt batteries to move air through the breathable FR fabric for all-day cooling.
What power source must I already have to operate the attached fans?
The fans are powered by 9-Volt batteries, so you need a supply of those batteries before the ventilation system will work.
