Abstract
A personal protection system including a helmet worn on the head of a user and a hood removably coupled to the helmet. The hood may include a shell, a transparent face shield, and a mounting element configured to removably couple the hood to the helmet. The transparent face shield may include a first lens and a second lens. The first lens may be coupled to the shell, and the second lens may be coupled to the first lens. The second lens may be coupled to the first lens by one of an adhesive, heat staking or ultra-sonic welding. The hood may also include a mounting element configured to center the transparent face shield relative to a light assembly coupled to the helmet such that the light emitted from the light assembly passes through a u-shaped opening or slot defined by the second lens.
