Additional pressure from three leather straps around the outside of the Heavy Duty Hood create an even more enclosed feeling. Varying the degree of intensity without unlocking and unzipping the hood to get access to the laces, provides a variety of effects for the wearer. Straps are positioned around padded eyes, mouth and from the point of the chin to the top of the back of head and extra keepers prevent the straps from slipping.

Five D-rings on the chin straps act as anchor points to totally immobilize the head.
