Designed by retired FDNY Battalion Chief, Kevin O'Donoghue, and named for his father James, a 34 year veteran of FDNY, the Capt. Jim hood combines comfort, protection and durability with an exclusive, proprietary material called Spentex™ to create a hood that is unlike anything available on the market today.
"My years at FDNY helped me design a hood that I knew would be safer and more comfortable for the firefighter," said O'Donoghue, President/CEO at Response Protection Corp., "the protection and durability of the Spentex material together with the manufacturing expertise of Fire-Dex has me extremely excited about the future of this hood."
Fire-Dex will produce the Capt. Jim hoods at its manufacturing headquarters in Medina, OH.
"Fire-Dex is excited about our partnership with Response Protection and to be manufacturing the Capt. Jim hood," said John Zbozien, Director of Marketing at Fire-Dex, "this hood offers a clearly differentiated set of features and benefits that make it unique in the marketplace."
Capt. Jim hoods by Fire-Dex are available through the growing Response Protection network of distributors. A complete list of distributors can be found on the Response Protection website atwww.responseprotection.com
