Portwest Snood Cap

The Portwest S896 Snood Cap is purpose-designed for catering and food preparation environments where complete hair coverage is essential. Combining a traditional cap front with an integrated back neck snood, this versatile piece of headwear keeps hair fully contained and secure, helping to maintain strict hygiene standards in kitchens, food processing facilities, and front-of-house service areas.

Constructed from a premium 100% Kingsmill cotton shell (280g), the Snood Cap delivers exceptional comfort and natural breathability — ideal for long shifts in warm kitchen environments. The contrast mesh panel, made from 100% polyester MeshAir fabric, provides additional ventilation to help regulate temperature and reduce heat build-up, keeping the wearer cool and focused throughout the working day.

An elasticated back ensures a snug, comfortable fit across a range of head sizes while keeping hair securely tucked away, reducing the risk of contamination during food handling. Machine washable at 60°C, the Snood Cap is fully compatible with industrial laundering processes, making it a hygienic and cost-effective choice for businesses that demand the highest standards of food safety.
