The Optrel Softhood Short Black is a lightweight powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR) soft hood system designed for use in dusty, dirty, and non-toxic industrial environments.
It provides full respiratory and face protection when paired with the Optrel e3000x blower system, using positive pressure airflow to prevent contaminated air from entering the breathing zone.
This short version is designed for users who want maximum airflow comfort and better hearing awareness, since it does not cover the ears.
