Protecting your face and neck
Kevlar hoods are designed to provide heat and cut protection to the head and neck in tactical situations. Kevlar is a light, strong synthetic fiber that is used in everything from law enforcement clothing to bicycle tires. Its value lies in its high strength-to-weight ratio; it’s reportedly five times stronger than steel on an equal weight basis.
A Kevlar hood is an essential piece of clothing for SWAT, tactical and riot control situations. For maximum face and neck protection, it can be layered under a helmet or another piece of safety equipment. It can even be useful for protection in non-life-threatening situations, like playing competitive paintball games or airsoft games in which a paintball or pellet could hit your face or neck.
