An engineering marvel, the BarriAire™ Ultra‑Light Neck Gaiter optimizes the weight-to-protection ratio. When every ounce counts, you'll only need one to achieve 96% particulate efficiency and 360° thermal protection with no melt or drip. DuPont™ Nomex® Nano Flex provides particulate blocking coverage across the face and front of neck while maintaining high breathability. Inherently good stretch and recovery, the fabrics offer superb moisture wicking for cool, dry wear and have a dual-technology antimicrobial treatment for unsurpassed odor control. Elasticized Comfort Plus™ binding encloses DuPont™ Kevlar® covered elastic with silicone stopper to ensure secure and comfortable fit. Adjustable, replaceable nose bridge establishes tight seal and minimizes fogging of eyewear. Lightweight and easy breathing, the BarriAire™ Ultra‑Light Neck Gaiter is the one ounce solution that fits in any pocket.
Front panel features two layers of 1.8 osy 100% DuPont™ Nomex® heather grey jersey knit with durable antimicrobial finish plied with one layer of 0.8 osy DuPont™ Nomex® Nano Flex. Back panel is one layer of 1.8 osy DuPont™ Nomex® heather grey jersey knit with durable antimicrobial finish. PGI BarriAire™ composite has over 96% particulate efficiency for particles 0.1 to 1.0 micron in size and has achieved a Viral Filtration Efficiency (VFE) Rating of 96.8% and a Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE) Rating of 97.9% (as conducted by Nelson Labs, U.S.A.).
Nomex® Nano Flex material consists of nonwoven, submicron, continuous nano-fibers and is inherently flame resistant. It is thinner and lighter weight than typical nonwoven materials. Nomex® Nano Flex is highly breathable and combines exceptional elasticity with superior particulate blocking performance.
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.).
