VIKING Fire Hood PartX™
VIKING’s triple-layered hood provides top protection for your neck, ears, and jaw from harmful particles, revolutionizing firefighter hood barrier safety.
DuPont™ Nomex® Nano Flex
The addition of DuPont™ Nomex® Nano Flex to a firefighter hood composite structure provides improved particle barrier protection in the neckline and upper jaw area that historically are known to be the most vulnerable and least protected.

To evaluate barrier performance, wear trials were conducted with hoods containing the DuPont™ Nomex® Nano Flex barrier integrated between knit layers on one side. After the trials, the hoods were turned inside out and inspected for contamination. Compare the amount of particles penetrating the hood with or without the paper-thin Nomex® Nano Flex protective layer.
