Frequently Asked Questions
Which Nova 3 cape comes with the helmet?
Nova 3 kits ship with the 28″ nylon Nova 3 cape (NV3-750).
What’s the difference between the 28″ and 38″ Nova 3 cape?
Length. The 38″ (XL) version gives more coverage down the chest and back.
When should I choose a leather cape over nylon?
When you’re blasting with aggressive, high-rebound abrasives such as steel grit, which wear through nylon faster.
Cape or blast jacket?
A Nova 3 cape covers the shoulders and upper body. A blast jacket adds sleeves for full upper-body coverage.
