Optrel Softhood: long, ultralight protective hood for powered air systems (4900.051)
The long version of the Optrel Softhood is a specialist protective solution for professionals working in conditions where the airways, face and head must be protected against dust, aerosols and vapours, and where protection against high-energy spatter is not required. Combined with the Optrel e3000X powered air system, this ultralight hood creates a safe and comfortable breathing space, ideal for the chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries or for paint shops. The longer cut gives extra protection for the neck and shoulders.

Technology Details
Complete Protection in Specialist Environments
Once connected to the e3000X filter unit, the Softhood creates a zone of controlled positive pressure inside. This keeps harmful contaminants such as dust, fumes, aerosols and vapours out of the wearer’s breathing zone. The long version closely covers not only the entire head and face but also the neck and shoulders, which is essential in sectors with strict hygiene requirements or when working with volatile substances. This design fully isolates you from the outside environment. Investing in this system means the highest level of personal protection in demanding industrial conditions.
Ultralight Design and Freedom of Movement
The name “ultralight” sums up this product well. Advanced, lightweight textile materials keep the load on the head and neck to a minimum, which you notice most during long hours of work. Unlike rigid helmets, the flexible hood does not restrict your movements, so you can work freely in tight spaces or in awkward positions. The soft material adapts to the wearer, eliminates pressure points and improves overall comfort. It is a direct investment in less physical fatigue, which means better concentration and productivity throughout the working day.
Hygiene and Flexible Use
The Softhood is designed for flexibility and easy hygiene, which is critical in the food and pharmaceutical industries and in paint shops. Depending on the type of work and the level of contamination, it can be treated as a disposable or a reusable item. This flexibility lets you optimise operating costs and adapt procedures to your company’s internal hygiene standards. Because the hood can be replaced quickly and easily, the workstation stays clean and safe. It is a sensible investment in a system that adapts easily to changing operational and sanitary requirements.
