PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Story Behind the Magic of the Captain Jim Hoods
Known today as the Capt. Jim Fire Hood, Kevin F. O’Donoghue, an FDNY firefighter for 25 years, named the hood in honor of his father, James J. O’Donoghue, who was a Captain in the FDNY and served for 34 years. O’Donoghue had the idea to create a safer, more comfortable hood with superior thermal protection without diminishing a firefighter’s awareness of sudden environmental changes. The Capt. Jim Fire Hood is built for intense heat conditions with an initial TPP of 29.5 and an Arc Thermal Performance Value (ATPV) rating of 34, meaning it can withstand 34 calories of heat per square centimeter.
Today, this popular hood offers yet another layer of protection with a particulate barrier option. The addition of Stedair® PREVENT technology was introduced to fight against persistent fire ground carcinogens. Designed to be one-size-fits-all, this predominantly Spentex® hood combines comfort, thermal defense, breathability, and extended durability. Each hood features an elastic face opening to ensure a proper interfacing with any SCBA mask and an extended bib for added protection.

MATERIAL
- Spentex®
Spentex® is a carbon fiber material that is laced with Kevlar® for added strength. It’s extremely lightweight at 6 oz. and extremely durable. Its naturally-derived FR properties are within the fiber, meaning it doesn’t require protective additives like some other fabrics. In addition, it can be washed over 100 times with little or no degradation of those properties. - STEDAIR® PREVENT
PREVENT technology does more than defend against the dangerous cancer-causing particles. This moisture barrier is highly breathable, air permeable, and flame resistant.
