Abstract

The present invention relates to protective fabric that protects first-response personnel, like firefighters, who rush into disaster areas immediately after such events occur. In particular, this invention relates to garments such as hoods (like a balaclava-shaped hood) made from a multi-layer protective fabric that includes at least two active layers, that may provide biological, chemical and fire protection to first-response personnel. The balaclava-shaped hood may be integrated with a protective mask to create fully-encapsulated protection. This protective fabric may include an inner layer, an active middle layer and an active outer layer. The inner layer may be comprised of a stretchable fabric. The middle layer may provide an adsorptive barrier to chemicals, such as terror agent, Mustard gas or other such agents. The outer layer may be comprised of a flame-resistant fiber-product.
