Barriaire Silver Elite Pro Comprehensive Coverage

Construction

• Composed of 3-ply quilted BarriAire™ Gold fabric with rib knit around face opening, on crown of head, and gusseted shoulders.
• Sure-Fit panel in the center of the hood for improved comfort, fit and performance. 4" wide rib knit begins at face opening and extending 10" over the crown of the head. The quilted fabric continues to the bottom of the hood where it widens to 9".
• For a contoured fit the hood is seamed from top of face opening to bottom neck.
• Face opening is circular in shape and serged with x-heavy duty ½" wide elastic around the perimeter. The elastic is then folded back ½" and cover stitched. 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.
• Bottom edge of hood is bound with self-material bias binding.
• Rib knit gusset added at side seams to provide complete shoulder coverage and smoother drape.
