Extreme Cold Defense. Elite 32 Cal Protection. The Ultimate Sub-Zero Layer.
When the temperature drops and the risk remains, the Flamesafe Double-Layer FR Balaclava is your frontline defense. Engineered with a dual-layer thermal barrier, this hood delivers a powerful 32 Cal/cm² (CAT 3) rating while maintaining a streamlined profile that fits comfortably under hard hats, welding hoods, and face shields.
- Dual-Layer Thermal Shield: Two layers of premium FR cotton trap a pocket of warm air against the skin, providing superior insulation for linemen and outdoor crews in freezing conditions.
- Hard-Hat Compatible: Reinforced self-binding seams and a low-profile crown eliminate "bulk-out," ensuring your safety helmet stays secure and properly seated.
- Anti-Fog Breathability: Integrated Maxisoft® moisture-wicking technology pulls sweat and breath-moisture away from the face, reducing goggle fogging and keeping you dry during high-intensity tasks.
