Your head and neck take the worst of the smoke — this hood is built to fight back. The BUFF® Safety Particulate Fire Hood adds a dedicated carcinogen barrier on top of full thermal protection, so the gear that keeps you cool on the fireground is also working on the exposure that doesn't show up until years later. Blocks what your old hood lets through. A built-in particulate barrier filters out the soot and combustion byproducts that settle on exposed skin during and after a fire. Stays cool when it counts. HeiQ Smart Temp cooling technology keeps heat stress down even with the added protective layer — no extra bulk, no extra sweat-out. Full thermal performance, no trade-off. Flashover and radiant heat protection are unchanged from a standard hood — you're not giving anything up for the added barrier. Built from premium fiber, not filler. DuPont™ Aramid + Viscose FR® outer layers wrapped around a Nomex® Nano Flex non-woven core.
