OVERVIEW

Make Your Hood Feel Like a Pillow

Let's be real: wearing a welding hood for eight to ten hours a day can be a pain in the neck—and the forehead. If you are still rocking the bare plastic headband or a worn-out, crusty sweatband, you are doing it wrong. The Lincoln Electric KH956 Soft Edge Flexible Foam Protector is the cheapest upgrade you can make to your gear that yields the biggest comfort return. It turns that hard plastic ratchet strap into a soft, cushioned pillow that hugs your forehead.

We all know the struggle of the summer sweat. You are under the hood, the arc is blazing, and suddenly a drop of sweat rolls right into your eye. You blink, you tear up, and your bead wanders. The KH956 is designed to stop that cold. The absorbent foam soaks up the sweat before it becomes a problem, keeping your vision clear and your focus on the puddle. Plus, the added texture of the foam helps your hood stay put. No more slipping down your nose when you look down; the foam grips your skin gently to keep the helmet exactly where you set it.

Installation is a breeze. It just wraps onto your existing headgear, replacing the old, flat pad. Since they come in a pack, you can swap them out whenever one gets too grimy, keeping your helmet smelling fresh and feeling comfortable. Don't let a headache from a tight helmet ruin your day. Upgrade your suspension with the Soft Edge Flexible Foam Protector and weld in comfort.

Why You Need This Upgrade

  • No More Headaches: Softens the pressure from tightening your headgear, letting you wear it longer without pain.
  • Stop the Sweat: Acts like a sponge for your forehead, keeping sweat out of your eyes and off your safety glasses.
  • Better Grip: Helps lock the helmet in the raised or lowered position by adding friction against your forehead.
  • Fresh Feel: Nothing beats the feeling of a brand new, clean cushion against your skin.
