The Portwest FR20 is a knitted balaclava hood for work where flame, heat and static are hazards and extra warmth is needed. It covers the head and neck beneath a helmet or hood and pairs naturally with flame resistant clothing.
The fabric is inherently flame resistant and anti-static. It also offers protection against the thermal hazard of an electric arc, and its high cotton content keeps it comfortable against the skin through a long shift.
Key features
- Inherently flame resistant fibres, so the protection lasts for the life of the hood and holds up through repeated washing
- Protects against radiant, convective and contact heat
- Anti-static fabric helps dissipate static charge, making it suitable for use in ATEX environments
- Fabric protects against the thermal hazard of an electric arc
- High cotton content feels soft and comfortable next to the face and neck
