BarriAire™Gold Hoods combine an outer layer of PGI proprietary gold FR fabric and an inner layer of ultra-lightweight, DuPont™ Nomex® Nano Flex fabric, which can inhibit penetration of many small size harmful particles. BarriAire™ Gold Hoods combine superior comfort, increased protection and maximum durability. Your fire hood is an investment in your health and safety — go for the gold, BarriAire™ Gold Hoods only from PGI
Important Features:
- Proprietary PGI gold FR fabric for excellent heat, flame and thermal resistance with superior tensile and tear strength for longer wear life
- Unlike laminated PTFE barrier hoods, BarriAire™ Gold Hoods are quiet and allow excellent hearing, improving communication and situational awareness
- 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 skin, through fabric, to outer shell where it evaporates for a drier more comfortable experience
- Outer shell fabric features a proprietary DWR finish which allows hood to dry 2x-3x faster than non-treated fabrics, reduces 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") front and back, ensures hood stays tucked‑in even after laundry shrinkage
- One size fits all!
Meets or Exceeds Industry Standards:
- UL Classified to meet or exceed the current hood requirements of NFPA 1971, Standard on Protective Ensemble for Structural Firefighting
- UL Certified to the NFPA 1971, 2018 Edition Option for Particulate Protection
- EN13911: 2017
