The BarriAire™ Gold Particulate Hood – Comprehensive Coverage is designed to provide firefighters with exceptional particulate protection, superior breathability, and all-day comfort during structural firefighting operations. Featuring comprehensive coverage throughout the entire head, including the Sure-Fit™ crown panel and extended bib, this advanced hood helps reduce exposure to hazardous airborne particulates while maintaining excellent flexibility and freedom of movement.

Constructed from PGI's advanced quilted BarriAire™ composite fabric, the hood features a PFAS-free durable water-resistant exterior finish and a dual-technology antimicrobial and anti-odor treatment on the interior. A Nomex® Nano Flex layer between the fabric layers delivers excellent stretch, recovery, and long-lasting comfort while helping the hood maintain its shape during extended use.

With an industry-leading air permeability rating of 23 CFM—approximately three to six times greater than traditional PTFE laminated particulate hoods—the BarriAire™ Gold Hood provides exceptional breathability without sacrificing protection. The hood averages 96% particulate filtration efficiency for particles between 0.1 and 1.0 microns and has been independently tested to achieve a Viral Filtration Efficiency (VFE) of 96.8% and a Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE) of 97.9%. It also meets NFPA 70E Hazard Risk Category 4 requirements for arc flash protection.
