During an electrical fault, the head, face, and eyes are highly vulnerable to intense radiant heat, molten metal splatter, and concussive blast energy. At Cool Tools, our Arc Flash Head Protection collection delivers heavy-duty, uncompromising facial defense for high-risk electrical environments. From compact HRC2 / CAT 2 face shield and helmet combos for quick service diagnostics to HRC4 / CAT 4 lift-up switching hoods for high-voltage isolation work, our range ensures your team remains fully compliant with AS/NZS 4836, NFPA 70E, and ASTM F2178 safety standards.
We partner with world-renowned brands like Volt Safety and BSD Germany to supply head protection systems that balance elite thermal defense with maximum workspace visibility and comfort:
BSD Retractable Face Shields: Precision German-engineered integrated systems featuring clear/light smoke tints that offer exceptional true-color retention—allowing technicians to safely identify colored wiring without lifting the shield.
1000V Insulated Electrician Helmets: High-impact, structurally reinforced hard hats designed to handle secondary physical impacts while providing dielectric protection against accidental contact with live components.
Double-Layer Nomex® Balaclavas: Essential flash-rated under-helmet hoods designed to shield the neck, ears, and throat from secondary thermal energy.
Ultralight SLX Lift-Up Hoods: Advanced HRC4 (50 cal/cm2) switching hoods engineered with lift-up visors to eliminate the claustrophobic "heavy bomb suit" feel during standby periods.
Procurement is simple with our pre-configured Arc Flash Head Protection Kits. Available in ratings from 10.7 cal/cm2 up to 26 cal/cm2 or higher, each kit comes complete with an approved face shield, a 1000V rated helmet, an inherently FR balaclava, and a heavy-duty waterproof PPE storage bag to protect sensitive anti-scratch and anti-fog visor coatings from rough site environments.
Protect your vision, stay audit-ready, and ensure your team returns home safely by upgrading to trade-grade head protection from Cool Tools.
