Stratos Hood

The 5.11 Tactical Stratos Hood is a versatile cold-weather face protection system engineered for law enforcement, military, and outdoor professionals who operate in harsh winter conditions. Built for duty shifts in sub-freezing temperatures, alpine environments, and extended cold-weather operations, this multi-configuration hood delivers rapid thermal protection without sacrificing mobility or tactical awareness. Whether you're conducting winter patrols, working mountain rescue operations, or hiking in extreme conditions, the Stratos Hood adapts to your mission requirements on demand.

The Stratos Hood's modular design features four distinct wear configurations: traditional neck gaiter positioning for layering under duty gear, deployable face shield coverage over the mouth and nose for maximum wind protection, full hood deployment for complete head and neck coverage, and adaptive partial coverage for transitional weather. This four-in-one capability eliminates the need to carry multiple cold-weather accessories, reducing pack weight to just 0.33 lbs while maintaining maximum operational flexibility. The construction prioritizes breathability and moisture management to prevent sweat buildup during active operations, critical for maintaining core temperature regulation during sustained physical exertion in freezing environments.

Tactical professionals and outdoor enthusiasts benefit from the Stratos Hood's quick-transition design, allowing operators to shift configurations in seconds without removing gloves or breaking tactical focus. The compact folded dimensions (9.9 x 2.25 x 11.9 inches) fit easily into cargo pockets, vehicle storage, or attachment points on body armor and tactical vests. Compatible with standard law enforcement and military uniforms, communication headsets, and protective eyewear, the Stratos Hood integrates seamlessly into existing cold-weather loadouts without interference or compatibility issues.
