Our review
Ridge's listing gives a 16.3 oz all-fiberglass shell and states it fits the Miller slotted hard-hat adapter (on slotted hard hats only). It warns clearly that no lens is included.
Its fiberglass sands and trims easily, which is why it also appears on our cool and custom page.
Buyers like the weight, fit and look; durability comments mention scratches.

Not scored: a hood's protection comes from the lens you fit, so we don't give hoods a spec score. Fit a lens with an ANSI Z87.1 mark and the right shade for your process; the lens size finder shows which lenses fit.
