The BOCOMAL FR Face Mask Flame Resistant Balaclava is constructed from a 4oz EX lightweight fabric that provides reliable arc-rated protection while maintaining a low profile under welding helmets. The material meets CAT1 standards, offering sufficient thermal resistance for incidental exposure to electric arc hazards without adding unnecessary bulk. Its flame-resistant properties are inherent to the fiber blend, ensuring consistent performance even after repeated laundering. This balaclava is designed as a helmet liner covering hood, seamlessly extending coverage from the neck to the top of the head.

The lightweight knit construction promotes breathability and moisture wicking, reducing heat buildup during prolonged welding or grinding tasks. The snug yet non-restrictive fit stays in place without shifting, allowing full range of motion while maintaining essential protection. A flat seam design minimizes chafing when worn under hard hats or welding hoods. The 4oz weight strikes a balance between durability and comfort, making it suitable for extended wear in industrial environments.

Unlike heavier alternatives, this hood does not trap excessive sweat or become uncomfortable during hot work sessions. The material maintains structural integrity under moderate heat and sparks, providing a dependable barrier against incidental contact with flames or hot particles. It also offers thermal insulation in cooler workshop conditions.

While primarily intended for welding applications, the balaclava is also compatible with other high-heat or electrical safety tasks where arc-rated personal protective equipment is required. Its unisex design fits most head sizes securely, and the long neck drape allows tucking into collars for complete coverage. The black color hides dirt and wear marks, extending the visual lifespan between washes.

At a very affordable price, this FR balaclava delivers essential protection without compromising on comfort or practicality. The combination of flame resistance, lightweight feel, and arc rating makes it a cost-effective addition to any welder’s safety gear. Consistent quality control ensures each unit meets specified performance standards for industrial use.
