Stop fighting your gear.
Built by a pipe welder, for welders who spend 12-hour shifts inside the hood — designed in the field, not a boardroom.
MADE IN ALBERTA, CANADA
Factory diffusers weren't built for a full shift.
- Airflow dumps straight into your face instead of around it.
- Bulky housings that catch on tight pipe racks and confined vessels.
- Fogs your lens the second you stop moving.
- Heat builds up under the hood on a 12-hour shutdown.
- Replacement parts nobody actually stocks.
"I wasn't trying to start a company. I was just tired of fighting my own gear on every job."
— Founder, BACKDRAFTAirflow engineered for the hood, not the spec sheet.
Redirected Airflow
Splits and routes air around the lens instead of straight at it — no more fogging mid-pass.
Low-Profile Fit
Sits closer to the hood shell so it clears pipe racks, vessels, and tight confined-space work.
Built To Weld In
Tested through root, hot, and cap passes — not a bench prototype. Made to survive a real shift.
Designed after another 14-hour shutdown.
BACKDRAFT started as a fix for one welder's own hood, printed and tested between shifts. Every revision came from a real job site — a refinery turnaround, a pipe rack crawl, a summer pour in Texas — not a design meeting. What you're looking at is Rev 1.0: the version that finally stopped getting in the way.
