ABSTRACT:
A protective hood adapted for use by a firefighter is disclosed in which a head portion, a lower marginal portion and a flap provide protection not only for the forehead, head and ears but also for the chin and neck of the firefighter. A means for adjustably and releasably fastening the flap to the protective hood is disclosed. The protective hood is fabricated from an exterior material and an interior liner material, so that the two layers of material provide an insulated fire resistant protective hood for the firefighter. The protective hood used in combination with an air pack face mask and a firefighting coat provides complete protection of the head and upper torso of the firefighter.
