BX9C-XL - BSX Flame-Resistant Cotton Welding Jacket with Red Flame Design

Technical Overview of the BSX® FR Cotton Welding Jacket

The Revco Black Stallion BSX® FR Cotton Welding Jacket (Model BX9C) is engineered to provide reliable protection for light to medium-duty welding applications. Constructed from 9-ounce flame-resistant (FR) treated cotton, this garment offers a balance of lightweight comfort and thermal protection against sparks, heat, and spatter. The fabric weight is optimized for environments where heavy leather may be too restrictive or hot, making it particularly suitable for MIG and TIG welding processes as well as light fabrication tasks.

Key structural features include an extended front length of 32 inches, which provides an apron-style barrier to protect the wearer's lower torso from flying debris and sparks. The jacket incorporates a stand-up welder's collar, a critical safety element designed to shield the neck area from arc rays and hot particles. To ensure garment longevity and functionality, all snap closures—located on the front placket and wrists—are reinforced with leather, preventing the metal snaps from tearing through the cotton fabric under repeated use.

Ergonomics and utility are central to the BX9C design. The jacket features adjustable waist straps with dual snap positions, allowing the wearer to secure the garment closely to the body. This reduces the risk of loose fabric catching on equipment or accumulating hot slag. Storage solutions are integrated directly into the design, featuring dual scribe pockets (one on each sleeve) for immediate access to marking tools, and a zippered inside pocket to secure valuable items or small tools. While highly effective for its intended class of welding, users should note that this FR cotton jacket is not rated for heavy-duty UV protection comparable to full leather gear and is best utilized within its specified light-to-medium duty parameters.
