Universal Escape System Bag

The Universal Escape System Bag is a reliable and practical solution for storing firefighter personal escape systems, such as the Sterling F4 and Petzl EXO. This bag is engineered to hold up to 50 feet of 7.5 mm rope, ensuring that essential escape gear remains neatly arranged, safeguarded, and ready for immediate use during critical moments. Its robust construction and thoughtful design make it an indispensable tool for firefighters who need quick access to their escape equipment in high-stress situations.

Engineered to work seamlessly with the 541NYC and 546NYC Series Class II harnesses, this bag is designed to attach directly to the waist belt of these harnesses. It also offers compatibility with most externally worn harness systems, providing flexibility for different operational needs. The universal design allows the bag to be worn on either the right or left side, adapting to a wide range of firefighter turnout gear styles and personal preferences, ensuring comfort and accessibility during emergency operations.

The Universal Escape System Bag is available in two distinct material options to suit varying operational demands. The 556C model is made from durable Cordura® ballistic material, offering exceptional strength and longevity. In contrast, the 556FR version uses flame-resistant materials including PBI®, Kevlar®, and Arashield™, providing enhanced protection in high-risk fire service environments. An isolated compartment for the descender helps prevent damage from abrasion between the rope and the device, while positioning the descender carabiner near the harness sliding D-ring ensures a streamlined and efficient escape system setup.
