PGI BarriAire™ quilted composite fabrics average 96% particulate efficiency for particulates between 0.1 and 1.0 microns. PGI quilted BarriAire composite fabrics recently achieved Viral Filtration Efficiency (VFE) Rating of 96.8% and Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE) Rating of 97.9%.*
Proprietary PGI flame resistant fabrics offer excellent heat, flame and thermal resistance with no melt or drip. Easy to wash/dry with extremely low shrinkage after repeated launderings.
PGI BarriAire™ quilted composite fabrics provide excellent breathability, reducing the potential for heat stress while pulling moisture away from the skin to the outer shell where it can evaporate keeping you drier.
Superior tensile and tear strength, quilted with high performance meta-aramid thread to stabilize and enhance particulate barrier durability.
PGI BarriAire™ quilted composite fabrics are quiet and allow unrestricted hearing in and around the fireground.
PGI Gold FR fabric features durable water repellent finish for superior soil and water repellency with outstanding stain-release performance. Reduces buildup of toxic residue that is easily absorbed by non-treated fabrics and allows hood to dry 2x‑3x faster.

BarriAire™ Particulate Barrier Technology products offer more protection, comfort and value. BarriAire™ particulate products combine two layers of proven flame resistant fabric and a middle layer of ultra-lightweight DuPont™ Nomex® Nano Flex fabric which blocks penetration of 96% (BarriAire™ Gold quilted composite) to 98.8% (BarriAire™ Silver laminated composite) of harmful submicron size particulates. BarriAire™ Gold quilted composite fabrics recently achieved Viral Filtration Efficiency (VFE) Rating of 96.8% and Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE) Rating of 97.9%. BarriAire™ Silver laminated composite fabrics recently achieved VFE Rating of 99.7% and BFE Rating of 99.9% (VFE and BFE testing as conducted by Nelson Labs, U.S.A.).
