Welder Hoods & Caps: Protect Your Eyes and Head from Welding Hazards

Welding is a skilled trade that involves joining two pieces of metal together using heat. While welding is a rewarding career, it can also be dangerous. Welders are exposed to a variety of hazards, including intense heat, bright light, and harmful fumes.

One of the most important pieces of safety gear for welders is a welding hood or cap. Welding hoods and caps protect the welder’s eyes and head from the harmful effects of welding.

Features to Consider When Choosing a Welder Hood or Cap

  • Protection: The most important feature of a welder hood or cap is its ability to protect the welder's eyes and head from the hazards of welding. Make sure to choose a hood or cap that is ANSI Z87.1 compliant.
  • Comfort: Welders often wear their hoods and caps for long periods of time, so it is important to choose a model that is comfortable to wear. Look for a hood or cap with a lightweight design and adjustable straps.
  • Visibility: Welders need to be able to see clearly in order to do their job safely. Make sure to choose a hood or cap with a large viewing area and a clear lens.
  • Ventilation: Welding can generate a lot of heat and fumes, so it is important to choose a hood or cap with good ventilation. Look for a model with multiple vents to help keep the welder cool and comfortable.
