Double Chopped Tiger Welding Hood — Red Leather, Engraved
★★★★★ 4.8 Average Store Rating
BUILT TO ORDER — PLEASE ALLOW 2–3 WEEKS BEFORE YOUR HOOD SHIPS. Every hood is handmade one at a time in our shop, and due to high order volume, build time is currently 2–3 weeks.
EVERY HOOD COMES WITH A FIXED SHADE LENS.
WHEN COMPACT MATTERS, THIS HOOD DELIVERS. This custom leather welding hood is finished in red leather, laser engraved with a custom design.
Looking for the most compact welding hood before stepping down to a pocket hood? The Flip Lens Double Chopped Tiger is built for welders who need maximum mobility without sacrificing protection or performance — in the shop, on the pipeline, or out in the field. Lightweight, low-profile, and incredibly compact, this hood moves with you in tight spaces, awkward positions, and long hours on the job.
Each and every hood comes with a fixed shade lens. Want an upgrade? Choose an auto-darkening lens in shade 9, 10 or 11 for just $40 more.
FEATURES:
Compact size. Full capability. Built the SLW way.
A note on heat: Real leather is heat- and spark-resistant, not fireproof. Keep this hood clear of direct flame and hot metal — same as your gloves. Heat damage is reviewed case by case; details in our Heat, Sparks & Fire Policy.
