This high-quality leather hood from Portwest offers optimal protection for your head and neck during intensive work. The hood is specially designed for welders and other professionals who are exposed to heat, flames, and welding spatters on a daily basis. Thanks to the use of robust split cowhide, this garment is extremely suitable for heavy-duty working conditions where maximum safety and reliability are required.
For which tasks and sectors is this leather hood most suitable?
This leather hood is specifically designed for professionals in the metalworking, shipbuilding, and construction sectors who weld or cut under heavy-duty conditions.
The premium split cowhide effectively protects the wearer against welding spatters, radiant heat, and accidental flame contact. Due to the leather's excellent mechanical resistance, this protection is ideal for welders who have to work in confined spaces or at difficult angles, where the impact of sparks on the head and neck is greatest.
What does the EN ISO 11611 Class 2 certification mean for this leather hood?
The EN ISO 11611 Class 2 (A1) certification indicates that this leather hood is certified for welding techniques with an increased risk of spatters and radiant heat.
Class 2 is the highest category within this standard and offers proven protection for manual welding techniques that release large quantities of spatters and drops of molten metal. This makes the model a safer choice than Class 1 clothing when you have to weld for long periods and under severe thermal conditions.
The comfortable fit ensures that the hood does not hinder movement. With the practical snap-button closure on the front, you can fasten the protection quickly and securely.
