OSW 690 Aramid Kevlar Hood

Key Features

• Aramid & Kevlar Fiber Construction: Made from advanced aramid fibers (such as Nomex® or similar) blended with Kevlar®, offering strong resistance to heat, flame, and radiant thermal hazards commonly encountered in firefighting. Aramid materials are inherently flame resistant with excellent durability and mechanical strength.

• Full Head & Neck Coverage: Designed to cover the entire head, neck, and upper shoulders, minimizing exposure of these vulnerable areas to extreme heat, flames, and hot gases.

• Elastic Face Opening: An elastic face aperture ensures a snug fit around the wearer’s face and accommodates the fit of an SCBA mask without gaps, helping maintain protective continuity between hood and mask.

• Lightweight & Comfortable: The knit or balaclava-style hood is lightweight and flexible for comfort during extended use in operations.

• Compatible with Standard Fire Gear: Designed for use with standard firefighting helmets, SCBA face pieces, and turnout gear as a synergistic component of the protective clothing system.
