Sno-Caps Protect Against Winter Weather
![]() |
"We've had tremendous interest since introducing them at several farm shows this past fall," Louis told FARM SHOW. "Farmers with cabless tractors and skid-steer loaders are finding that a Sno-Cap can provide virtually the same warmth and comfort of a tractor cab. Persons who previously couldn't stand to be outside in the cold because of lung, heart or other problems are discovering that even extremely cold weather isn't a problem when you're wearing a Sno-Cap. They're for anyone ù men, women or children ù interested in low-cost protection from biting winter winds and below zero temperatures."
Two models are available:
The Sno-Cap hood: Made of fiberglass, it's rigid and rests on the shoulders. One size fits all. The window is anti-frost treated to prevent fogging. The hood weighs seven lbs.and lets in enough fresh air around the bottom edges to supply the wearer's needs.
The mini-Sno-Cap: Made of nylon, it weighs just over one lb. and fits over the head like a hard-hat helmet.
"The larger Sno-Cap hood, which covers the head and upper body, has been our best seller among farmers and farm wives," notes Louis. "But there are some situations, such as when operating a skid-steer loader, where lack of space makes it difficult for an operator wearing the hood to freely move about. The mini Sno-Cap provides almost as much protection from cold and wind, yet is less restrictive in terms of body and hand movement."
The larger Sno-Cap hood, .available in off-white, red or yellow, retails for $54.95. The mini Sno-Cap, presently available only in off-white, sells for $39.95.
