A personal protection system (20) including a helmet (22) with a fan (38). A hood (24) is removably fitted over the helmet to provide a barrier around the head. The hood has a transparent face shield (60) through which the individual views the environment. The face shield is curved to both minimize the glare to which the individual is exposed and the extent the f ield-of-view includes the inside of the hood.
