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 blocking & reducing
the inhalation of smoke & ash particulate. Multiple layers of CarbonX®
help maintain the crucial airspace in front of the mouth and nose. The soft
comfortable inside liners (also CarbonX®) absorb perspiration, adding
to user comfort.
Highly breathable mesh CarbonX® covers the center ventilation orifice
allowing easy air exchange and helps prevent buildup of CO2. The patented,
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 HS-2 weighs 4.0 oz./112
grams, incorporates Scotchlite® Reflective trim for nighttime visibility
and is classified as an interface component of Wildland PPE.
