‘Total Protection’ PBI® / Kevlar® Particulate Blocking Flash Hood

Studies into responder health suggest that the flash hood is the most penetrable piece of protective clothing worn by the firefighter, with the face and neck identified as areas of significant dermal exposure to potential carcinogens.

The MSA Bristol ‘Total Protection’ flash hood has been proven to be 99.8% successful at filtering particulates while remaining lightweight, soft and breathable. Minimal sound is produced through head movement resulting in optimal situational awareness for the firefighter.
