Proprietary PGI Gold FR Fabric

Excellent heat, flame and thermal resistance with superior tensile and tear strength for longer wear life. Easy to wash/dry with extremely low shrinkage after repeated launderings. Attractive gold color easily detects soiling to signal cleaning.

Stronger Stitching

Quilted with CRAQ SPUN® AR Teijinconex® thread which has twice the strength of typical meta-aramid thread. Quilting stabilises and enhances particulate barrier durability.

Hear the Difference

Unlike laminated PTFE barrier hoods, BarriAire™ Gold Hoods are quiet and allow unrestricted hearing. Laminated PTFE hoods are loud and make a crackling noise with virtually every movement, adversely affecting communication and situational awareness.

Particulate Blocking Power

Lightweight inner layer of DuPont™ Nomex® Nano Flex fabric inhibits penetration of harmful contaminates and carcinogenic particulates between 0.1 and 1.0 microns. Averages 96% particulate filtration efficiency as submitted and washed. PG quilted BarriAire composite fabric recently achieved Viral Filtration Efficiency (VFE) Rating of 96.8% and Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE) Rating of 97.9%*.

Exclusive DWR Finish

Outer shell has durable water repellent finish for superior soil and water repellency with outstanding stain-release performance. Reduces build-up of toxic residue that is easily absorbed by nontreated fabrics and allows hood to dry 2x-3x faster.

Exceptional Breathability and Comfort

Unlike PTFE particulate barrier hoods, which have virtually no air permeability and lock in air, PGI’s BarriAire™ Gold Hoods have excellent breathability, reducing the potential for heat stress while pulling moisture away from the skin to the outer shell where it can evaporate keeping you drier.

ID Labell

UL Certified thermal patch label facilitates tracking and identification through barcoding, sequential numbering and personalisation.
