Balaclava Guard

Firefighters face dangers that go far beyond flames. GUARD is engineered to protect against both heat and toxic exposure, a groundbreaking base layer specifically developed for fire and rescue professionals. Made from an innovative blend of Lenzing® FR, Merino wool, and polyamide reinforcement, GUARD offers exceptional breathability, comfort, and permanent flame resistance. The unique knitting structure allows maximum airflow, efficiently moving heat and moisture away from the body, even under heavy turnout gear. What truly sets GUARD apart is its ability to capture and release harmful smoke particles. During industrial washing, these particles are effectively removed, allowing the garment to be reused safely without compromising protection or hygiene. GUARD is the result of years of collaboration between Devold and researchers at SINTEF, aiming at reducing health risks for firefighters after exposure to toxic smoke. leading Norwegian scientists, aiming to reduce the long-term health risks firefighters face after exposure to toxic environments.
