General personal safety equip. question . . . .

[DavidinDurango]

My balaclava says "Nomex" but has no SFI wording.

Will it pass tech?  Is it any less safe?  What else can I learn?

thanks,

worn in the winter might be warmer  ---worn into a bank might get you shot?

While I haven't seen anyone check the SFI sticker on the helmet condom (I'm a d`ckhead), IIRC the rulebook states SFI which means sticker should be there.

Now here's the rub, not all "SFI approved" items can keep a permanent sticker attached reliably.  Condoms, arm straps, padding, etc, can actually have their SFI tax paid, yet not have the sticker on it.

To play it safe, you should have the sticker, but in a pinch I'd print out the sales literature from the internet on the item indicating it's SFI, but the sticker is no longer present.

I did return a "true SFI" head condom made by a major MFR (RJS?) that didn't have the sticker, and when you buy, you should always do that.  Luckily they are cheap.

Thanks McRat.

Not so much, McSparky.

Sparky is good folk.  He was just having fun, and bringing your topic to the top.

Sparky and I are good friends - no harm no foul.

I thought a Balaclava  was a Greek Desert Pastry

That's baklava, Charles -- philo dough layered with butter and nuts (pecans?  Almonds?  I forget) -- layer after layer after layer.  I think the combined sugar/cholesterol measurement is 911.

SSS:
Just from having sampled a few pieces I'd have to guess everything's dipped in honey before assembly and again after baking. I'd have to give baklava credit for being about the sweetest thing I've ever tasted.
