Features
The BUFF® Particulate Hood is uniquely equipped with HeiQ Smart Temp, a revolutionary textile treatment designed to combat firefighter heat exhaustion.
​
-
Dynamic Response: The hydro-functional polymers in the fabric interact directly with your body temperature, activating when you sweat and turning off when you cool down.
-
Continuous Evaporative Cooling: It vaporizes moisture to complement the skin's natural ability to regulate body heat.
-
Proven Temperature Reduction: Independently tested to reduce fabric temperature by up to 4.5°F (2.5°C).
-
Durable Performance: The cooling technology remains 100% effective for up to 40 washes.
Fabric Details
​​
Inner and outer fabric: 56% Meta Aramide Nomex®, 31% FR Viscose, 6% Polyamide, 3% Para-Aramide Kevlar®, 2% Antistatic Carbon Fiber, 2% Elastane.
Membrane: 100% Nomex® Nano Flex.
Nomex® Nano Flex was developed to help make products like firefighter
hoods more protective against particles without compromising comfort.
A highly breathable FR material with exceptional elasticity and superior
particle barrier performance, Nomex® Nano Flex is also thinner and lighter
weight than other FR materials. The addition of Nomex® Nano Flex to a
firefighter hood composite structure provides improved particle barrier
protection in the neckline and upper jaw area that historically are known to
be the most vulnerable and least protected. In fact, it results in up to a 4X
increase in particle barrier efficiency.
Certifications
