Ara‑Tek FR™ Tri‑Blend (STK) 3042185-SF2
$36.00
Similar comfort and flame and thermal resistance to the popular Nomex®/Lenzing FR® blend at a fraction of the cost. Where Ara‑Tek FR really shines is its durability and arc resistance. UL Classified to NFPA 1971 Standard on Protective Ensembles for Structural Fire Fighting and Proximity Fire Fighting – Current Edition.

$37.00
Developed by PGI in the early 1980's, this mid‑weight blend has become the most popular hood fabric in the market due to its ability to wick moisture away from the skin more effectively than other flame resistant fabrics keeping the wearer drier and more comfortable. UL Classified to NFPA 1971 Standard on Protective Ensembles for Structural Fire Fighting and Proximity Fire Fighting – Current Edition.

PBI/Lenzing FR® w/ Comfort Plus™ Lining (STK) 3038285-SF2
$50.00
PBI® is an extraordinary fiber that doesn’t burn in air. Blended with Lenzing FR®, this fabric is the lightest, most comfortable flame resistant hood fabric on the market. Even though fabric is incredibly lightweight, at 5.7 oz./sq. yd, it has an exceptionally high TPP rating. Add the Comfort Plus™ Liner to the PBI/Lenzing FR blend, and the Thermal Protection Performance (TPP) rating dramatically improves. UL Classified to NFPA 1971 Standard on Protective Ensembles for Structural Fire Fighting and Proximity Fire Fighting – Current Edition.

Considered the ultimate high‑tech fabric for thermal protection and comfort. The fabric simply won’t burn in air. Additionally fabric has excellent moisture regain and wicks moisture away from the skin to the outer shell enabling it to evaporate at a rapid rate.

- BEST MADE BETTER
- Redesign of popular Cobra™ Ultimate™ Sure‑Fit™ hood.
- Added 6" to width for exceptional shoulder coverage and reduction of bunching at chest and back.
- Increased width of Sure‑Fit panel by 1.25" for a more comfortable fit over SCBA mask and mask hardware.
- Added 2" to the length ensuring complete chest coverage and that the hood stays tucked in even after laundering shrinkage (5" longer than NFPA requires).
- Contours better to the shape of the head for improved fit and comfort.
- Fuller cut builds a little “ease” into the hood so it doesn't fit skin tight like typical hoods. This more generous cut gives hood improved thermal resistance from flame and heat due to the extra space (layer of air) between hood and head.
- UL Classified to NFPA 1971 Standard on Protective Ensembles for Structural Fire Fighting and Proximity Fire Fighting – Current Edition.
- Hood Dimensions - One Size Hood Fits All:4" wide Sure‑Fit™ center panel from top of face opening to bottom drape of hood, in place of traditional center seam.
- Face opening is circular and measures between 4.6" to 5.6" in diameter.
- Width around bottom (1/2) approx. 24.25".
- Width of hood from edge of shoulder cap to opposite edge of shoulder cap approx. 19.25".
- Length of hood at front top to bottom approx. 23".
- Length of hood at back from top to bottom approx. 20".
- Width of hood above face opening approx. 8.75"
- Width of hood mid face opening to back approx. 7.75".
- Length of hood at side from top to bottom approx. 19.5".
- Width of hood 1" below bottom of face opening approx. 11".
- Width of hood above shoulder cap approx. 14".
- Length of hood below face opening approx. 12.5"

BarriAire Gold Hoods feature an ultra‑light weight inner layer of DuPont™ Nomex® Nano Flex fabric. This innovative particulate barrier blocks 95% of harmful contaminants and potentially carcinogenic particulates .20 microns in size or larger.
FAST UV-light photographs without Nomex® Nano Flex (left) and with Nomex® Nano Flex (right) illustrating after particle exposure for the test subject’s head and neck; bright yellow areas show where particles penetrated the ensemble.
