Velilla 254001 Hood: covers the head without a single loose button
In food production areas, hair must always be tucked away, and the reusable hood is what you use when you don't want to depend on a disposable cap shift after shift. This one fastens with concealed snap buttons and has an elastic section on the front opening, so it fits snugly around the face without leaving a single strand out.
✅ Features
Central closure with concealed snap buttons: the buttons are covered, with no visible parts that could come loose onto the food.
Elasticated front opening: hugs the contour of the face and keeps hair inside throughout the whole shift.
Twill 65% polyester - 35% cotton: 190 g/m², a fabric with body that doesn't become see-through or lose its shape when washed.
Reusable: unlike the polypropylene cap, this hood can be washed and used again.
One size: a single reference for the whole workforce.
👷 What jobs it's for
Production and packaging lines in the food industry.
Cutting rooms and fresh-food production workshops.
Refrigerated chambers, where it also keeps the neck warm.
Clean rooms and handling areas that require full hair containment.

🧺 Care
Inner label: Velilla does not publish the wash cycle for this reference; follow the symbols sewn into the garment.
Front elastic: it is the part that wears out first. Avoid aggressive spinning and high-temperature drying if you want it to keep fitting snugly.
65/35 blend: the majority polyester makes it quick to dry, which is welcome when rotating it daily.
💡 Tip: the reusable hood pays off compared to the disposable cap once you have a stable workforce and fixed shifts, but only if you buy at least three per operator: one in use, one in the laundry and one spare. With two per head, the day the laundry goes wrong you end up resorting to disposables anyway.
