Santa Fe Springs, CA – Revco Industries has launched BSX, a bold new series of extreme welding protection that is as good-looking as it is functional. A full line of revolutionary gloves, garments and accessories, BSX promises to forge new ground in quality, innovation and style.  BSX, which stands for Black Stallion® Xtreme, features eye-catching black and red flame designs that have cross-generational appeal for today’s welders. Revco predicts this fashionable line of welding products will invigorate enthusiasm among welders who, up until now, have lacked options beyond dull green jackets and flower-patterned caps.

“Before BSX, welders took off their jackets all the time because they didn’t like the looks. Now, we’ve got guys wearing the new BSX jackets even when they’re not welding. The by-product is that the guys are a little safer.” said Jim O’Connor, Vice President of Gases and Arc in Denver, Colorado, and a 26-year industry veteran.

Yet good looks are only part of the appeal of the BSX series. With a reputation for excellence in the welding industry, Revco has raised the bar by designing high-caliber features into the new line. The result is an unrivaled combination of comfort, fit and protection previously unavailable to welders.

“Welders have always had higher expectations of Revco's brands and, frankly, that motivates us to continue to push the envelope and create higher-quality products. We really listen to our customers and incorporate their feedback in our product development. With the new BSX series, you can immediately see and feel the difference in each product.” says Revco National Marketing Manager Jimmy Wu.

The new Vulcan™ stick welding glove is a prime example of how Revco has merged its legacy in producing dependable welding protection with cutting-edge design. Using advanced, pre-curved construction, the Vulcan boasts an unmatched fit that maximizes dexterity and lessens fatigue.  Similarly, the Stryker™ welding jacket introduces many industry firsts into a single flame resistant garment. It features a stand-up welder’s collar; slant-opening scribe pockets; a zippered inner pocket; and an extended front that increases protection and enhances the wearer’s appearance. The starting series of twelve BSX products is available now through independent welding distributors nationwide. Formal introduction of the BSX line will take place at the 2007 FABTECH International and AWS Show in Chicago at Revco booth 4118.
