The Hot Shield® Firefighter Face Mask is a multiple layer, patented face protector mask designed by firefighters for use in all wildland firefighting operations. The HS-2 offers unequaled, extreme protection against burns to the face/neck with the added benefit of preventing the inhalation of smoke and ash. Multiple layers of CarbonX® help maintain the crucial airspace in front of the mouth and nose, and the soft comfortable inside liners absorb perspiration.
Highly breathable mesh CarbonX® covers the center ventilation orifice allowing easy air exchange and helps prevent buildup of CO2. The user-friendly design allows the firefighter to insert an activated carbon, low cost disposable particle filter w/exhalation valve. CarbonX® is the only inherently non-flammable revolutionary fiber in the world that will not burn, ignite, char, shrink, or decompose at temperatures exceeding 2600°F, even for extended periods of time.
The Hot Shield® weighs 4 oz. It is sewn with NOMEX® thread, features Scotchlite® Reflective trim for nighttime visibility, and is classified as an interface component of Wildland PPE. Each one comes with a disposable filter for healthier breathing during wildland fires.
