Description

Can less really be more? Absolutely, when it comes to the COBRA™ BarriAire™ Gold Hood. Firefighters have found its weight, breathability, and feel comparable to traditional hoods during wear trials. Unlike PTFE laminated hoods, BarriAire Gold Hoods are quiet, enhancing communication and situational awareness. They also offer superior protection from harmful particles and contaminants in high-risk exposure areas.


Features

  • Proprietary PGI Gold FR Fabric: Excellent heat, flame, and thermal resistance with superior tensile and tear strength for longer wear life.
  • Dual-Layer Protection: Combines an outer layer of PGI proprietary gold FR fabric with an inner layer of ultra-lightweight DuPont™ Nomex® Nano Flex fabric, inhibiting penetration of small harmful particles.
  • Lightweight and Breathable: Comparable weight to hoods without a particulate barrier, ensuring exceptional breathability.
  • Quiet Performance: Unlike laminated PTFE barrier hoods, BarriAire™ Gold Hoods are quiet, allowing excellent hearing and communication.
  • Enhanced Durability: Uniquely quilted to stabilize and enhance particulate barrier durability.
  • Superior Particle Blocking: Exceeds industry standards by blocking 90% of particles between 0.1 and 1.0 microns in size.
  • Moisture-Wicking Inner Fabric: Engineered to wick moisture from the skin to the outer shell, providing a drier, more comfortable experience.
  • Quick-Drying Outer Shell: Features a proprietary DWR finish, allowing the hood to dry 2-3 times faster than non-treated fabrics and reducing toxic residue buildup.
  • Comfortable and Hypoallergenic: Designed with a softer hand and hypoallergenic properties for comfort next to the skin.
  • Stretch and Recovery: Built-in stretch and recovery for a true one-size-fits-all fit.
  • Easy Maintenance: Attractive gold color helps detect when the hood needs cleaning.
  • Static Resistant: Fabric is inherently static resistant.
  • Generous Cut: Designed with a little “ease” to create a layer of air between the hood and head, improving thermal resistance.
  • Durable Stitching: Stronger, less bulky stitching with CRAQ SPUN® AR meta-aramid thread.
  • Extra-Long Length: Ensures the hood stays tucked in, even after laundry shrinkage.
  • Certified Safety: UL Certified thermal patch label for tracking and identification, UL Classified to NFPA 1971 Standard, and pending EN13911: 2017 Certification.
