Hot Shield
|
Wildland firefighters cannot use a self-contained breathing apparatus but still need protection from smoke and extreme fire behavior. Combustible bandannas, most helmet shrouds, hoods, and sticky polyester and Styrofoam-bead filter devices fail to adequately protect facial skin. Layering, airspace and highly thermally-resistant materials are a proven combination against the threat of burns to skin. The solution is the Wildland Face Protector Mask Model HS-2, which uses CarbonX, an inherently non-flammable fabric that can withstand temperatures of more than 2600° F. The integral filter pocket houses an inexpensive N-95 filter for relief from smoke particulates. An easy-to-use hang strap keeps you cool, yet allows immediate donning when conditions change. The mask features a user optional head-strap for a custom fit. 3M Scotchlite reflective trim shines for nighttime visibility. Available through many fire equipment dealers.

CarbonX
|
In field tests conducted over the course of several years and across multiple applications, CarbonX fabrics — used in baselayer garments, gloves, balaclavas/hoods, socks, jackets, pants, shirts, outerwear and other applications — have consistently proven their ability to withstand heat and direct flame for up to 20 times longer than other flame-resistant (FR) products. Constructed using advanced technology, CarbonX fabrics are comprised of a proprietary blend of high-performance fibers and are inherently flame-resistant. CarbonX fabrics will not burn, melt or ignite. Even after intense exposure, they maintain their strength and integrity and continue to protect. CarbonX products combine comfort with an extreme level of protection. They are lightweight, flexible and odor-resistant. They also breathe well, wick away moisture and dry quickly, enhancing the wearer's comfort and productivity. Their thermal protective properties will not wash out or wear away.
