Description
Now Certified to the NEW NFPA 1970 Standard!
Particulate coverage throughout entire head including Sure‑Fit™ panel at crown and entire bib.
Fabric Description:
Quilted composite with PFAS-free durable water resistant finish on the exterior layer and a dual-technology antimicrobial and anti-odor finish on the inside layer with Nomex® Nano Flex between layers for excellent stretch, recovery and odor control. Highest air permeability of particulate fire hoods on the market at 23 cfm, approximately 3-6 times greater than PTFE laminated hoods. Averages 97.4% particulate efficiency for particulates between 0.1 and 1.0 microns. PGI quilted BarriAire composite fabrics recently achieved Viral Filtration Efficiency (VFE) Rating of 96.8% and Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE) Rating of 97.9% (as conducted by Nelson Labs, U.S.A.). NFPA 70E Hazard Risk Category 4.
- Proprietary PGI gold FR fabric for excellent heat, flame and thermal resistance with superior tensile and tear strength for longer wear life.
- 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 incorporate a dual-technology finish combining a powerful antimicrobial and odor absorber. The trimodal finish constantly delivers antimicrobial efficacy destroying more than 99% of odor causing bacteria and capturing odor molecules from the body for the life of the hood.
- PGI quilted BarriAire™ composite fabrics recently achieved Viral Filtration Efficiency (VFE) Rating of 96.8% and Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE) Rating of 97.9%.*
- Lightweight with exceptional breathability, weight similar to hoods without a particulate barrier.
- Unlike laminated PTFE barrier hoods, BarriAire™ Gold Hoods are quiet and allow excellent hearing. Laminated PTFE hoods are annoyingly loud making a crackle noise with virtually every movement, adversely affecting communication in situational awareness.
- Uniquely quilted to stabilize and enhance particulate barrier durability.
- Exceeds industry standards of blocking 90% of particles between 0.1 and 1.0 microns in size.
- Nomex® Nano Flex barrier allows faster wicking and drying
- 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 PFAS-free 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.
- Less water retention and a higher evaporation rate reduce the likelihood of steam burns.
- 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.
- Quilted with 100% heavy-duty meta-aramid thread. Quilting stabilizes and enhances particulate barrier durability.
- Extra-long length (23″) front and back, ensures hood stays tucked‑in even after laundry shrinkage.
- UL Certified thermal patch label facilitates tracking and identification through barcoding, sequential numbering and personalization.
- UL Classified to NFPA 1970: 2025 Standard on Protective Ensembles for Structural and Proximity Firefighting – Current Edition.
- NFPA 70E Hazard Risk Category 4 with an ATPV of 46 cal/cm2.
- Certified to EN13911:2017.
