BARRIAIRE GOLD PARTICULATE HOOD CRITICAL COVERAGE

The BarriAire™ Gold Particulate Hood - Critical Coverage is engineered for maximum protection against harmful particulates and contaminants in high-risk firefighting environments. Offering extended bib coverage and an innovative design, this hood provides complete protection from the base of the neck and around the entire head, excluding only the Sure-Fit™ panel at the crown. This hood is UL Classified to meet NFPA 1971 standards for structural and proximity firefighting, with additional certification for particulate protection, ensuring that firefighters are shielded from airborne hazards.

• Comprehensive Protection: Features critical particulate barriers that cover the neck, head, and critical areas identified by NFPA for maximum safety and effectiveness against airborne particulates.
• Extended Bib and Rib Knit Face Opening: The extended bib design provides enhanced coverage and protection, while the rib-knit face opening ensures a comfortable, secure fit around the face and neck, maximizing effectiveness without restricting movement.
• High Filtration Efficiency: With an impressive 96% particulate efficiency for particles between 0.1 and 1.0 microns, this hood provides one of the highest levels of protection available in firefighting hoods. It also boasts excellent Viral Filtration Efficiency (VFE) at 96.8% and Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE) at 97.9% as tested by Nelson Labs.
• NFPA and EN Standards Compliance: UL Classified to meet NFPA 1971 standards, including the 2018 Edition Option for Particulate Protection, and EN13911: 2017 certification for advanced protection.
• Superior Comfort and Breathability: With the highest air permeability of particulate fire hoods on the market at 23 cfm, this hood allows for comfortable, breathable protection without sacrificing effectiveness. This air permeability is approximately 3-6 times greater than PTFE-laminated hoods.
• Fabric Composition: The BarriAire™ Gold fabric uses a quilted composite with a PFAS-free durable water-resistant finish on the exterior layer, providing protection against water and moisture. The interior layer features a dual-technology antimicrobial and anti-odor finish for enhanced hygiene, while the Nomex® Nano Flex layer between the fabrics ensures excellent stretch, recovery, and odor control. This advanced fabric design not only enhances comfort but also optimizes performance for long-term wear.
