The N-Ferno® 6847 FR Balaclava Face Mask is dual compliant and meets two flame-resistant standards “ NFPA 70E and NFPA 2112. This winter face mask blocks all the elements: earth, wind, fire, and water. Designed with Polartec® FR Power Grid fleece, which is a grid-construction knit that minimizes fabric mass and maximizes fabric performance for increased warmth and lighter weight. The interior is hydrophilic to absorb sweat and transfer it outside, while the exterior disperses moisture for more efficient evaporation. The grid design also creates open air channels for improved breathability. This double-standard fabric is tested and certified to meet both NFPA 70E and NFPA 2112 standards for flame-resistant clothing. Also has an ARC rating of CAT 2; 20 cal/cm2 ATPV. Can be worn alone or under hard hats, ski helmets or other head protection. The moisture-wicking and breathable fabric makes it the perfect FR face mask for winter work where FR clothing is required.

It’s very durable as well as breathable, keeps the face warm in cold environments. Also keeps the dust from coming in as well!

Great product! Thin enough to wear under a ball hat and kept me warm under my hard hat in 19 degree weather. Always had to wear a beanie over my last one to stay warm. This one does the job great all by itself. I love the option to fold the “hat” back and wear it like a neck gaiter!

I have two of these balaclavas, I prefer this one over the fleece version because it fits snug on my face and head which is very well appreciated in conjunction with my Skullerz hard hat. My only recommendation is, to make the item a two piece (detachable) design, offering the option to wear the hat or the mask. One other thing I noticed, is that my anti-fog skullerz Dagr occasionally fog up when I wear either of the balaclavas. The end result, is that the thermal protection stands and delivers. Nothing beats a toasty head, feet, and hands in the winter. I look forward to seeing socks and gloves made by Ergodyne.

I really like this balaclava, much more so than the other FR rated ones I have used at work. The split hood design allows for easier separation, making it less of a pain to pull it down under your chin when you need it off of your face. Others I have used without that feature squeeze my face when I try to do that. The material of the 6847 is soft and not bulky (which is mandatory under a hardhat), but still provides protection from the cold. I was glad to get my hands on this one!
