| 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
- Current
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. |
