PGI Cobra BarriAire Gold Hood - Extended Coverage
Particulate coverage includes the entire head except for the Sure-Fit panel at the crown. The front and back bib extends particulate barrier coverage beyond critical areas as identified by NFPA - Maximum Protection. UL Classified to NFPA 1971 Standard on Protective Ensembles for Structural Fire Fighting and Proximity Fire Fighting Current Edition.
Certification to the NFPA 1971, 2018 Edition Option for Particulate Protection Current Edition. EN13911: 2017. Quilted composite durable water resistant finish on the exterior layer of jersey knit with Nomex Nano Flex particulate barrier between the inside layer of jersey knit. Averages 95%-98% particulate filtration efficiency that actually improves with repeated launderings.
- Proprietary PGI gold FR fabric for excellent heat, flame, and thermal resistance with superior tensile and tear strength for longer wear life
- Lightweight with exceptional breathability, weight similar to hoods without a particulate barrier
- Unlike laminated PTFE barrier hoods, BarriAire Gold Hoods are quiet and allow an excellent hearing. Laminated PTFE hoods are annoyingly loud making a crackling noise with virtually every movement, adversely affecting communication and situational awareness
- Uniquely quilted to stabilize and enhance particulate barrier durability
- Exceeds industry standards of blocking 90 percent of particles between 0.1 and 1.0 microns in size
- Inner fabric engineered to wick moisture from the skin, through the fabric, to the outer shell where it evaporates for a drier more comfortable experience
- Outer shell fabric features a proprietary DWR finish which allows the hood to dry 2x-3x faster than non-treated fabrics, reduces the build-up of toxic residue that is easily absorbed by non-treated fabrics, and enhances the release of contaminates during washing
- Fabric designed with a softer hand and is hypoallergenic making it more comfortable next to the skin
- Built-in stretch and recovery, to better conform to the head and neck for true one size fits all sizing
- Attractive gold color allows you to detect when the hood's soiled and needs cleaning
- Fabric is inherently static resistant
- Generous cut with a little "ease" built into the design so the hood doesn't fit skin tight - creates a layer of air between the hood and head which improves thermal resistance from flame and heat
- Stronger, less bulky stitching - all sewing and quilting done with CRAQ SPUN AR meta-aramid thread
- Extra-long length (23 in.) front and back, ensures the hood stays tucked in even after laundry shrinkage
- Extended Critical Coverage
- Length of hood below face opening approx. 13 in.
- Quilted approx. 5.5 in.
- Rib knit drape approx. 7.5 in.
- Rib knit bib begins at the neck seam for complete shoulder coverage and is contoured for a smoother drape
- Extended Complete Coverage
