PROTECTION
Our KING COBRA ™hood series has been engineered to maximize
protection. Features such as heavier elastic in the face
opening, which stretches 25% more than conventional hoods, makes
for easy donning and a snug fit around face or SCBA mask.
Our unique COMFORT-PLUS ™lining reduces fatigue from heat
stress by wicking moisture off the skin while offering exceptional
flame and thermal resistance. Only state-of-the-art flame-resistant
fabrics are used assuring permanent flame and heat protection even
after years of use and repeated laundering. Seams are sewn
twice with heavyweight 100% Nomex ®thread, reducing the likelihood
of failure and maximizing bursting strength. Longer front
and back drape design makes sure the hood stays tucked in even during
the most strenuous activity. For additional peace of
mind, all KING COBRA ™hoods (construction and fabrics) are
Underwriters Laboratory classified to meet or exceed the NFPA
1971 Standard on Protective Ensemble for Structural Fire Fighting
2000 Edition

COMFORT
Thank's to our COMFORT-PLUS ™liner, KING COBRA ™hoods
are amazingly soft and breathable. We've taken two proven
flame resistant fiber work horses- DuPont's NOMEX ®and Lenzing
Fiber's LENZING FR ™and blended them together to create
an exceptionally durable and comfortable flame resistant fabric
we've named COMFORT-PLUS ™. The COMFORT-PLUS ™liner
wicks moisture away from the skin more effectively than other
flame resistant fabrics making KING COBRA ™hoods feel cooler
in hot environments and warmer in cold environments. All
seams are flat-stitched so they won't dig into your skin or bunch
up. Seamless chin area and improved patterning ensure the
ultimate in comfort, fit and protection. Rib-knit fabrics,
which stretch and recover 35% better than typical hood fabrics,
give our KING COBRA ™hoods superior fit while maintaining
the original shape better even after repeated laundering. |
