August 15, 2018 - The welding cap is an essential item for just about every welder.  Unfortunately, designs for this important product have changed little over the years.  Black Stallion® tilts the welding cap industry on its head with the introduction of the AH1630-GS – quite possible the most comfortable and best-fitting protective welding cap ever made.

Uniquely constructed of single-layer flame-resistant cotton, the AH1630-GS provides lightweight protection from sparks, with less heat trapping. The wearer’s head feels cooler in hot conditions.

The combination of 7 ounce FR cotton and 6 ounce FR cotton stretch knit provides a comfortably snug fit. Available in three sizes, the AH1630-GS fits nearly all head sizes and shapes. The deep crown allows the cap to be worn exactly where it should be -- just above the eyebrows and over the top of the ears.

Soft FR cotton stretch knit panels on each side of the cap are designed to provide chafe-free flame-resistant ear coverage.

The large bill on the cap, wider and longer than nearly any other welding cap available today, offers more neck protection from sparks and from sunburn and UV rays when welding outside. Hidden within the bill is a flap of durable 7 ounce FR cotton. When extended over a welding jacket collar, the flap provides even more neck protection.   

Designed with durability for daily wear, the AH1630-GS is stitched with strong flame-resistant thread – the same thread Black Stallion® uses on their welding jackets and other protective garments. The AH1630-GS is machine washable, with flame-resistant protection through 50 home washings.

August 15, 2018 - Now welders can work more safely around potential flash fire and arc flash hazards with the new NFPA 2112 & NFPA 70E Certified FR Cotton Welding Jacket (JF2220-GY) from Black Stallion®.

Constructed of durable 9 ounce flame-resistant treated cotton, the JF2220-GY meets ASTM F1506 requirements for flame resistance and is tested to maintain protection through 100 home washings or 50 commercial laundry cycles.  Flame resistance is enhanced by the use of strong FR aramid threads throughout the jacket.

Certified to both NFPA 2112 and NFPA 70E standards, the JF2220-GY is designed for welders who may be exposed to short-duration thermal exposures from fire and arc flash hazards typically associated with Oil & Gas, Utility, and Industrial applications.  With an Arc Thermal Performance Value (ATPV) of 10 cal/cm2, the jacket can be part of a Category 2 PPE program for work with potential exposure to energized electrical equipment.

Six front snaps on the jacket are covered with a layer of FR cotton to eliminate conduction of electricity in the event of an arc flash incident.  These six front snaps are reinforced with leather backing to reduce the risk of tearing and eliminate pull through. 

Other jacket features include a standup welder’s collar to protect the neck from sparks and debris, an outside scribe pocket on the left sleeve, and a convenient inside pocket.  The extended 32” length offers additional torso protection.

May 21, 2018 - Staying cool, comfortable, and protected while welding is now easier with the new Stretch-Back FR Cotton Welding Jacket (JF1625-NG) from Black Stallion.

The lightweight stretch-back welding jacket offers all the protection of a Black Stallion standard welding jacket, with the added comfort of a flame-resistant cotton stretch knit back panel.   

The looped knit yarns of the back panel are extremely flexible, offering comfortable stretch. This horizontal stretch provides just the right amount of “give” as a welder moves his shoulders and arms. These looped knit yarns also allow more air to flow through the fabric. This increased airflow provides more breathable comfort and can create a cooling effect as the job heats up.

And, the seven ounce cotton stretch knit back panel includes ASTM F1506 compliant flame resistance. Welders get the added benefit of comfort and breathability without sacrificing protection.

The front, shoulders, arms, and neck of the JF1625-NG are constructed of nine ounce flame-resistant cotton. The jacket offers protection for most light welding applications and includes all the high-quality, innovative features you expect from Black Stallion. The stand-up welder’s collar, with snap closure, helps keep sparks off the neck. And, the extended 32” length offers enhanced torso protection.

Six powder-coated stainless steel front snaps secure the jacket with less gapping. Other welding jackets use as little as four buttons, leaving wide gaps for sparks to potentially penetrate. The six front snaps are reinforced with leather backing to reduce the risk of tearing. 

The new Stretch-Back FR Cotton Welding Jacket (JF1625-NG) from Black Stallion is available through independent welding and safety distributors nationwide.
