New 40 Cal Arc Flash Kits from BSD: Now with a Ventilated Hood
Safety without compromise – now more flexible than ever: BSD has expanded its proven 40 cal/cm² ARC4 product line with innovative new options. You can now choose between our traditional, robust fixed-style hood or the brand-new BSD Safe Lift Hood, which features an easy-to-flip visor for quick relief between tasks. Both hoods are built on our ultra-lightweight, inherently flame-resistant (IFR) fabric platform to keep you comfortable during long shifts.
The Highlight: Fresh Air for Focus and Peak Performance
Based on our latest research, BSD now recommends always using a ventilation unit when working with an arc flash hood. To support this, our new, optional BSD Ventilation Unit integrates seamlessly into both hood styles.
The data from our own arc flash test lab (tested under direct exposure at 45 cal/cm²) speaks for itself:
- 82.7% less CO₂ inside the hood compared to unventilated wear.
- A dramatic drop in carbon dioxide levels, plunging from a peak of 13,300 ppm down to a steady, safe 2,300 ppm.
Significant CO₂ reduction performanceTailored to Your Specific Risk
Whether you choose a comprehensive kit — complete with a hood, jacket, bib overalls, premium leather gloves, and a gear bag — or want to add accessories like integrated LED lamps, we help you select exactly the right protection for your specific job.
