PGI Cobra Classic Carbon Shield Hood

Carbon Shield is a flame resistant fabric breakthrough based on carbon fiber technology. Considered the ultimate high-tech fabric for thermal protection and comfort. During the torch test, after about 5 seconds, traditional FR fabrics combust, severely shrinking and charring. Carbon Shield remains dimensionally stable even after 90 seconds, giving you the extra time you need to get out safely.

FABRIC:

• Outer shell is a blend of Carbon/High Strength Aramid -approx. 6.5 oz sq yd.
• 1 x 1 rib knit fabric - knit to allow approx. 200% stretch for maximum stretch and recovery.
• Designed to minimize laundry shrinkage.

STITCH TYPES AND SEAMS:

• All stitching conforms to federal Standard 751 Specifications (FED-STD-751).

The face opening stretches a full 16" (which is 25% more than conventional hoods) for easy donning and a snug fit around face of SCBA mask. Face opening maintains original shape after repeated launderings.
• The bottom edge of hood is bound with self-material bias binding.
• Shoulders are contoured on each side allowing the hood to lie flat on the chest and back for maximum coverage.
