CRL-S Clifford Reed Legacy Firefighting Hood, 2024 Build

The CRL-S is a multi-layer composite firefighting hood rather than a knit hood. Delta stocks it in Regular, XL and R-S. Before you order, read the certification notice below: this stock carries a certification to a superseded edition of the standard, and that determines whether it can go into service under your department's PPE policy.

Certification and manufacture notice

• This hood was manufactured in 2024.
• It carries a 1971 certification. The manufacturer describes it as designed to exceed NFPA 1971-2018 standards.
• The listed price reflects that 1971 certification.
• The manufacturer states a new 1970-certified CRL hood is currently in development.

Construction

• Multi-layer composite construction rather than knit
• The manufacturer states the composite offers better heat resistance and easier post-fire removal than traditional knit-based hoods

Who this is for

Sizes stocked: Regular, XL and R-S. If your PPE program requires current-edition certification on every hood carried in service, ask Delta about the 1970-certified version before ordering this one. If your program accepts the 2024 build against its stated certification - for training stock, reserve sets, or a department whose replacement cycle allows it - Delta can quote the sizes on the shelf now. Either way, put the answer in writing with your PPE program manager before the order goes in.
