USGI Desert
Tan/Gold FR Anti-Flash Balaclava Hood (60% Kevlar / 40% PBI) – New or Used
The USGI
Desert Tan/Gold Anti-Flash FR Balaclava Hood is an authentic,
military-issue protective headpiece engineered for extreme-heat tactical
operations, vehicle crewmen, aviation personnel, and tactical assault teams.
Designed to deliver superior flame-resistant (FR) thermal protection, this
protective hood guards the wearer's neck, face, and head against intense
thermal flash, high-temperature flames, and direct contact burns during
high-threat combat engagements.
Constructed
from a premium 60% Kevlar / 40% PBI (Polybenzimidazole) flame-retardant
knit blend, this hood offers unmatched thermal performance and structural
integrity under direct flame exposure. PBI fibers remain stable at extreme
temperatures without melting, dripping, or burning, while Kevlar adds immense
structural strength and abrasion resistance. Designed with a extended cowl
length for full chest and collar coverage, the balaclava fits seamlessly
beneath combat helmets, gas masks, and tactical goggles without interfering
with seal integrity or causing pressure points.
