A Chopped Pro X welding hood is a shortened, lower-profile shell designed to boost mobility in tight spaces and reduce neck strain. This welding hood has less bulk below the lens, so you can get closer to the weld without the hood catching on your chest, pipe or fixtures.
The Outlaw Leather difference starts at the edge. We trim the shell and finish it right. Our custom-skived, flexible leather top seals the cut line to block sparks and backlighting without adding bulk or stiff spots. You get a clean profile and a cleaner view.
Every Outlaw Leather Pro X is handcrafted in Texas with your choice of premium leather tops in paisley, floral, solids and more. We believe your hood should work hard, look sharp and feel like it’s made for you.
Built for Pipe Welding and Tight Spaces
Experience less obstruction and more focus. When you’re pipe welding or working in a tight corner, a standard hood can feel bulky. The Chopped Pro X's short-profile welding helmet gives you the clearance you need. It’s the welding hood for tight spaces that lets you lock in and run your bead without extra bulk getting in the way.
Overhead work is where this tool really earns its keep. By removing unnecessary material from the lower shell, the Outlaw Leather Chopped Pro X lightens the load where it matters and helps reduce neck fatigue during long vertical or overhead shifts.
The lock-stitched leather top panel closes the gap left by the shortened shell, helping protect against falling sparks and backlighting while you move.
Which Welding Hood Is Right for You?
Wondering where the Chopped Pro X fits with our lineup of welding hood collections? This comparison will give you the information you need to choose the right gear:
-
Slimline hood: This slim, ultra-light shell is about 30% lighter than our standard models and built for all-day wear without the bulk. The narrower silhouette moves easily around fixtures and benches. It's ideal for general fabrication, shop work and long shifts where comfort and balance matter most.
-
Pancake hood: This carbon-fiber shell uses a balsa wood box to block glare and comes with a flat side shield to help block peripheral lighting, so your puddle stays crisp. It weighs around 9.6 ounces and shines in outdoor pipeline and high-glare environments where sun control and a stable view are critical.
-
Chopped Pro X hood: The lower front edge reduces contact in tight quarters. The lock-stitched, flexible leather top seals the trimmed edge to block sparks and backlighting without bulk. It works well in vertical clearance, such as pipe welding, confined positions and overhead work.
The Chopped Pro X Advantage
Our ergonomic construction uses a high-strength nylon shell reinforced with glass fiber to stay rigid, balanced and comfortable, shift after shift. Every Chopped Pro X welding hood is ANSI/ISEA Z87.1 and CSA Z94.3-compliant, so you can focus on the weld with confidence.
The high-temperature adapter is designed for thermal stability, helping the hood retain its shape when temperatures rise.
