PGI BarriAire™ Gold Elite Pro Particulate Hood Critical Coverage – Made from Non-PFAS Materials

BarriAire™ Gold Hoods combine an outer and inner layer of PGI’s proprietary gold FR fabric, and a middle layer of ultra-lightweight, DuPont™ Nomex® Nano Flex fabric. Superior comfort, increased protection, and maximum durability with protection from harmful particles and contaminants in the areas that pose the greatest risk of exposure. Your fire hood is an investment in your health and safety…choose BarriAire Gold hoods from PGI.

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 with notched shoulder drape and patterned bib integrate comfortably with turnout collars and SCBA strapping. Designed to perfectly interface with SCBA facepiece head harness and maintain proper seal with mask.

Critical Coverage includes DuPont™ Nomex® Nano Flex particulate barrier in all critical areas of hood as identified by NFPA.

 FEATURES:

• 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.
• BarriAire™ Gold Hoods are quiet and allow excellent hearing for ultimate situational awareness. 
• Uniquely quilted with 100% heavy-duty meta-aramid thread 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 skin, through fabric, to outer shell where it evaporates.
• Outer shell fabric features a proprietary non-PFAS DWR finish which allows 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.
• Built-in stretch and recovery, to better conform to the head and neck.
• Extra-long (23") length ensures the hood stays tucked-in, even after laundry shrinkage
