Description
Now PGI’s Cobra™ Series is available in Revolutionary Carbon Fiber!
As technology continually moves forward, you’ve relied on PGI to be the innovators in developing, designing and introducing the latest in protective fabrics. Carbon Shield™ is a flame resistant fabric breakthrough based on carbon fiber technology. The fabric simply won’t burn in air. Tests show that Carbon Shield™ doesn’t shrink, crack or decompose when exposed to direct heat or flame at temperatures exceeding 2300 degrees F (1300 degrees C) for over 90 seconds. In comparison, the leading flame resistant fabrics burn, begin to shrink while charring, then crack and decompose. This is all in about 5 seconds. Carbon Shield™ is manufactured through a proprietary cooking process where the yarns receive their initial carbonization. This process of carbonizing the fiber, by actually forging it in fire, is what sets Carbon Shield™ apart from all other flame resistant fabrics. There’s no room for compromise when it comes to protection. Carbon Shield™ is the ultimate high-tech fabric for thermal protection and comfort.

FABRIC:
- Outer shell is a blend of Carbon/High Strength Aramid -approx. 6.5 oz sq yd.
- 1 x 1 rib knit fabric – knit to allow approx. 200% stretch for maximum stretch and recovery.
- Calendared to minimize laundry shrinkage.
STITCH TYPES AND SEAMS:
- All stitching conforms to federal Standard 751 Specifications (FED-STD-751).
- Major seams are flat seam assembled, stitch type 607.
- Elastic in face opening is serged in with stitch type 504 and reinforced with bottom cover-stitch, stitch type 406.
- Binding is applied with bottom cover-stitch, stitch type 406.
THREAD:All seams are sewn with 100% Nomex® thread size Tex 40.
CONSTRUCTION:
- Composed of two layers throughout.
- Seamed from top of face opening to bottom back then cover-stitched for extra strength.
- Face opening is circular in shape and serged with x-heavy duty ½” wide elastic around the perimeter. The elastic is then folded back ½” and cover stitched. The face opening stretches a full 16″ (which is 25% more than conventional hoods) for easy donning and a snug fit around face of SCBA mask. Face opening maintains original shape after repeated launderings.
- The bottom edge of hood is bound with self-material bias binding.
- Shoulders are contoured on each side allowing the hood to lie flat on the chest and back for maximum coverage.
- Face opening is circular and measures between 4.6″ to 5.6″ in diameter.
- Length of hood below face opening approx. 9″.
- Length of hood at side from top to bottom approx. 15″.
- Length of hood at front and back from top to bottom approx. 18½”.
