• PGI’sProprietary Fabric

• Where you seequilting is where the Particulate Barrieris enclosed

• Blocks 90%or more of particulate 1 micron or smaller

• Excellentflame and thermal resistance.

• Exceptionalbreathability

• Inside of fabric wicks moisture from skinthrough fabric to outer shell where it can evaporate keeping the wearer dry and comfortable.

• Outer shell has DWR finish which reduces the build-up of toxic residuethat can easily be absorbed by non-treated fabric and enhances the release of contaminates in the wash cycle. Additionally, the DWR finish enables the hood to dry 2 to 3 times faster than non-treated fabric

• Lightweight– weighs about the same as hoods without a Particulate Barrier.

• Fabric has asoft hand and is hypoallergenicmaking it comfortable against the skin.

• Unlike some Particulate Barrier hoods, PGI’s BarriAire Gold hoods have just enoughstretch and recoveryto allow it to conform well to the head and neck and allow us to make one size fits all sizing

• Attractivegold color allows you to see when the hood’s soiledand in need of cleaning.

• Fabric hasexcellent tensile and tear strengthfor long wear life

• Generous cutwith a little “ease” built into the design so the hood doesn’t fit skin tight. This creates a layer of air between the hood and head which improves thermal resistance from flame and heat

• All sewing and quilting done with CRAQ SPUN AR Meta Aramid thread

• Extra-long length (23”) front and backmakes sure hood stays tucked-in even after laundering shrinkage
