OVERVIEW

Stop the Sparks, Keep the Comfort

Every welder knows the stinging pain of a stray spark finding its way down the back of your collar or landing on your ear. The Arab FR Hood 9Oz Cotton Proban is built to put an end to that distraction so you can focus on laying the perfect bead. Made from 9 oz. Proban cotton, this hood gives you the flame resistance you need without weighing you down like heavy leather gear. It’s breathable, soft against the skin, and designed to keep you cool even when the shop heats up.

What sets this hood apart is the fit and the coverage. The "Arab" style isn't just a look; it's functional. It covers your ears, the back of your neck, and drapes over your shoulders to bridge the gap between your helmet and your welding jacket. No more sunburned necks from arc rays and no more dancing around when a spark lands where it shouldn't. Plus, with the Velcro and strap system, you can cinch it down to fit your head perfectly. It won't slide over your eyes when you flip your hood down, and it won't bunch up uncomfortably.

Whether you are doing overhead stick welding or just want extra protection during a long day of MIG, this hood is a simple, effective upgrade to your daily gear. It fits easily under your hard hat or welding helmet and is washable, so you can keep it fresh. Don't rely on a standard baseball cap or a bandana when you can have professional-grade FR protection that stays in place and does the job right.
