Enespro OptiShield grey nanoparticle shields have improved visibility and color versus legacy green tinted shields. They also include an abrasion resistant coating on the front surface and a permanent anti-fog coating on the interior. Paired with lightweight, breathable materials in the 40 CAL AirLite™ hoods, 12 and 20 CAL UltraSoft™ Balaclavas, 20 and 25 CAL Shrouds, and 55 and 65 CAL hoods and suits, Enespro provides the comfort, breathability, and visibility electricians need to perform their work safely.
A balaclava or shroud is required to be worn with a hard hat & face shield for NFPA 70E CAT 2 tasks. However, many workers avoid wearing balaclavas because they’re so uncomfortable and they often carry a foul odor from previous uses. That is why the Enespro OptiShield™ Vented Lift-Front Shroud eliminates the need for a balaclava (aka “sock hood”). It’s also lined with FR 2.0 antimicrobial fabric that kills germs and controls odor making it a much more hygienic option compared to balaclavas. These shroud options will help safety professionals solve this problem and encourage safety compliance because it’s a much more comfortable and hygienic solution. It’s also attached the hard hat & face shield allowing it to stay together as one unit.
