Jerico Safety makes the Nomex IIIA Full-Zip Hood as well as hooded sweatshirts. Nomex is a registered trade mark of DuPont and is a flame retardant aromatic polyamide. In an aromatic polyamide, or “aramid” for short, the chain molecules are highly oriented along the fiber axis.

As a result, the Jerico Nomex IIIA not only provides protection against the elements but can also provide protection in case of accidents and fire. The coat weighs fourteen ounces and features a full-length, heavy-duty two-way zipper. It has an inset drawstring for a perfect fit, pouch style pockets, and the hood can be detached.

Ring spun cotton has a softer texture because of its finer thread and due to being compacted it provides a greater measure of strength. The jacket has a 100% cotton lining in the body and sleeves. There is a heavy-duty two-way zipper with a reinforced placket for durability. You get pouch pockets, a double-ply hood, and metal grommets. Lycra is used in the waistband and cuffs for an extra-tight fit against the elements.

It has a full metal zipper, pouch pockets, and a matching drawstring. The Ladies Hoody also sports raglan sleeves which are sleeves that have a seam running from the neckline to the underarm.
