US fire retardant balaclava, surplus

Brand new still in its plastic wrapping. Unbeatable deal. Works really well under other layers meant to keep your head warm. Could work well in the event that the campfire gets a little crazy too.

Very light and comfortable. The main body is a thin double layer knit material and the top is an open mesh to help keep your head cool. I bought it for work as a welder; it does a good job of blocking the heat and the UV. It seems to work well with actual weld spatter; it will punch a small hole through the outer layer but stalls out on the second. Be warned spatter will drop completely through the mesh section and onto your head though. I don't think it would be a good choice for dirty all-position stick work, but it seems well suited to mig and flux core welding where it's mostly the heat and UV you're worried about. The only criticism is that the neck tube is a little too short and exposes skin if you wear a t-shirt and pull the hood up over your chin, but you're reaching for a hood you probably shouldn't be welding in unbuttoned coveralls anyway.
