PGI BarriAire Carbon Shield Elite Pro Short Particulate Hood Critical Coverage
Elite Pro hoods are specifically designed to improve comfort and provide greater freedom of movement while significantly reducing tugging or pulling away from the SCBA facepiece. Tapered back, notched shoulder drape and patterned bib perfectly interface with turnout collars and SCBA strapping. Designed to comfortably integrate with SCBA facepiece head harness and maintain proper seal with mask.
Elite Pro Short hoods have a shorter and narrower bib that provides a slimmer fit around the chest and shoulders. This traditional style reduces fabric under turnout coat and SCBA strapping without compromising range of motion.
Particulate barrier coverage from base of the neck and around entire head except for Sure‑Fit panel at crown. All critical areas of particulate penetration as identified by NFPA have particulate barrier. UL Classified to NFPA 1971 Standard on Protective Ensembles for Structural Fire Fighting and Proximity Fire Fighting – Current Edition.
