Part Number: 16-520-S
Weight: 0.35 lbs
The 16-520-S RPB® T-Link® Side Padding System is a genuine OEM comfort upgrade designed to enhance fit, stability, and overall ergonomics inside the RPB® T-Link® respirator hood. As part of the LINK® internal comfort framework, these side pads provide additional cushioning along the sides of the head, improving balance, reducing pressure points, and helping the respirator move naturally with the operator during industrial operations.
This padding system is ideal for users working long shifts in painting, powder coating, sanding, manufacturing, and general industrial environments where all-day comfort is essential. The Side Padding System also helps maintain proper hood alignment and prevents collapse or shifting, ensuring consistent airflow and visibility inside the T-Link®.
