Honeywell Salisbury AFHOOD20 Flame Resistant Balaclava Beige 20 cal/sq cm Arc PPE Category 2

SKU CH-SQGH-MB1A8

Flame-resistant balaclava covering ears, head and neck with 20 cal/sq cm ATPV rating for Arc Flash PPE Category 2 protection

  • 20 cal/cm² ATPV rating protects against arc flash hazards
  • NFPA 70E Category 2 compliance meets workplace safety standards
  • Dual-layer rib knit construction maintains shape and coverage
  • P84/Lenzing FR fabric delivers inherent flame resistance
  • Universal sizing with elastic face opening fits most workers

Arc-rated protection for electrical workers

This flame resistant balaclava carries an ATPV rating of 20 cal/sq cm and meets NFPA 70E Arc Flash PPE Category 2 requirements. It covers the head, ears and neck while leaving the eyes exposed for visibility. The beige colour uses P84/Lenzing FR material for certified protection.

Dual-layer knit retains shape during extended wear

Two layers of rib knit fabric form the garment and an elastic face opening holds its size after repeated donning and doffing. The 8 oz fabric weight provides consistent thermal performance throughout a shift without added insulation for cold conditions. The universal size fits a range of workers without adjustment.

Lightweight construction suits daily PPE routines

At 8 oz the balaclava adds minimal bulk under a hard hat or face shield and the elastic opening stays flat against the skin. Beige fabric shows soiling quickly, supporting inspection protocols required by NFPA 70E. The design is not intended for buyers who need cold weather insulation or full face coverage.

Questions about this item

Does the 20 cal/sq cm ATPV rating add noticeable bulk or heat when worn for a full shift?

The balaclava weighs 8 oz and uses two layers of rib-knit P84/Lenzing FR fabric, so it remains lightweight and breathable during extended wear.

What other PPE items are required to complete an Arc Flash PPE Category 2 ensemble with this balaclava?

NFPA 70E Category 2 requires an arc-rated shirt and trousers or coveralls, plus voltage-rated gloves, safety glasses and hearing protection; the balaclava covers the head, ears and neck only.

Will the universal-size elastic face opening stay snug over an older hard hat or hearing-protection band?

The elastic opening is designed to maintain its shape and size, allowing a secure fit over most head-worn accessories without slipping.
