PGI has introduced its new BarriAire Carbon Shield, Elite Pro and Elite Pro Short hoods that have achieved UL Certification to meet the latest NFPA 1970 particulate-blocking firefighting hood standard.
These new standards are now a mandatory requirement for firefighter protective equipment, marking a significant advancement in the protection of fire service professionals.
The BarriAire Carbon Shield range provides 99.9% particulate efficiency and is engineered from the industry’s most flame-resistant fibre, setting a new benchmark for safety and performance.
The hoods deliver comprehensive defence against heat, toxic particulates, and carcinogens, while also prioritising comfort. They are also softer, more breathable, and manufactured without intentionally added PFAS, ensuring both health and performance benefits.
With the introduction of the NFPA 1970-compliant BarriAire Carbon Shield hoods, PGI says it is reinforcing its commitment to advancing firefighter safety and innovation in protective gear.
