Tillman 6011 Green FR Cotton Skull Cape with Neck Drape, Large

Tillman 6011 Green FR Skull Cape Features

Every welder knows the stinging pain of a spark finding its way down the back of a collar or the discomfort of "welder's burn" on the back of the neck from prolonged UV exposure. The Tillman 6011 Green Westex Skull Cape is your first line of defense against these common shop hazards. Built from 9 oz. Westex® FR7A® cotton, this cape is designed to keep you safe without weighing you down. Unlike synthetic materials that can melt and stick to your skin when exposed to high heat, this treated cotton is engineered to char and self-extinguish, providing a reliable barrier between you and the arc.

The design of the 6011 is all about practical comfort under the hood. It features a skull cap that fits snugly over your head, acting as a sweat absorber to keep perspiration out of your eyes while you work. Attached to this is a generous neck drape that covers your ears and the back of your neck. This is particularly useful when you are welding out of position, overhead, or in tight spaces where sparks tend to bounce unpredictably. Because it is made of cotton, it breathes much better than leather, keeping you cooler during those long shifts in hot shops or during the summer months.

Compatibility is key with any accessory, and the Tillman 6011 is designed to work seamlessly with your existing gear. It sits flat against your head, meaning it won't bunch up or create pressure points under your welding helmet's headgear or a hard hat suspension. The "US Steel Green" color is a classic look in the welding industry, and the fabric is durable enough to withstand the rigors of daily use. While it is rated for light-duty welding—meaning you might still want full leathers for heavy gouging or overhead stick welding—it is the perfect everyday companion for MIG, TIG, and general fabrication tasks.

Washing and care are straightforward; simply follow the instructions for FR cotton to maintain the flame-resistant properties. The snaps included on the cape allow for a secure fit, ensuring the protection stays where you need it. Don't let a stray spark ruin your weld or your day—add the Tillman 6011 to your PPE kit for reliable, breathable protection.
