Cobra Classic hoods provide double layer coverage of neck, upper chest and top of the shoulder blades. The notched side helps bib lie flat for improved interface with bunker coat. Flat-stitched seams eliminate bunching and won’t dig into skin. A half inch wide elastic face opening stretches to full 17" to ensure a snug fit around most SCBA masks. UL Classified to NFPA 1971 Standard on Protective Ensembles for Structural Fire Fighting and Proximity Fire Fighting – Current Edition.
A lightweight, high performance lining made from flame resistant Nomex® and Lenzing FR® fibers that deliver an exceptionally high TPP rating. Softer and more breathable, this liner is designed to keep the wearer cooler, drier and more comfortable.
PBI is an extraordinary fiber that doesn’t burn in air. Blended with Lenzing FR®, this fabric is the most comfortable flame resistant hood fabric on the market. Even though fabric is incredibly lightweight, the proprietary Comfort Plus Liner offers an exceptionally high TPP rating.
