The Definitive Deployment Bag for Mutual Aid Operations The Evac Systems MABAS Team Bag (Model EP225) is specifically engineered for the rigors of Mutual Aid Box Alarm System (MABAS) callouts. When a task force is activated, you need to bring everything: turnout gear, bedding, uniforms, and personal PPE. This bag is one of the largest in the Evac lineup, providing a massive 31” x 18” x 14” chassis that swallows bulky equipment while keeping it organized for multi-day operations.

Key Features

  • Mission-Specific Design: Tailored for MABAS team members, with capacity for radios, medical kits, and extended-duration supplies that standard gear bags cannot accommodate.
  • Wide-Mouth Access: Features a heavy-duty U-shaped zippered opening that allows for instant packing and unpacking of bulky turnout coats and helmets without fighting the fabric.
  • Organized Storage: Equipped with three zippered pockets to segregate clean uniforms from dirty bunker gear, or to secure small items like chargers, toiletries, and flashlights.
  • Heavy-Haul Durability: Constructed from 1,000 Denier Cordura® Nylon, this bag is weather-resistant and tough enough to be thrown onto transport trucks or piled in staging areas.

Why It Matters MABAS deployments are not standard shifts. You might be gone for 12 hours or 12 days. This bag serves as your mobile locker. It is large enough to live out of, durable enough to survive the transport, and designed to keep your "clean" life separate from your "dirty" work gear.

How to Use

  1. Pack: Load turnout gear (pants, coat, boots, helmet) into the main compartment.
  2. Organize: Use the end pockets for bedding or extra uniforms.
  3. Deploy: Carry via the padded handles or the removable shoulder strap to the staging area.

Technical Overview The bag measures 31” L x 18” W x 14” H, offering roughly 7,800 cubic inches of storage space. It includes a removable shoulder strap and fixed web handles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the EVAC Systems MABAS Team Bag specifically designed for Mutual Aid Box Alarm System operations?

The EVAC Systems MABAS Team Bag (SKU EP225RD/EP225BK) is purpose-built for MABAS first responders with compartments specifically tailored for radios, medical kits, and personal protective equipment. Unlike generic duffel bags, this 31" x 18" x 14" bag features a wide-mouth zippered opening and three dedicated zippered pockets that align with MABAS operational protocols, ensuring critical equipment is organized and instantly accessible during mutual aid emergency responses. Made from 1000 Denier Cordura Nylon in the USA, it's engineered to withstand the demanding conditions of multi-agency emergency scenarios.

Can the MABAS Team Bag hold full turnout gear and still have room for additional equipment?

Yes, the MABAS Team Bag's exceptional 31" x 18" x 14" capacity makes it one of the largest first responder bags available, specifically designed to accommodate complete turnout gear plus radios, medical kits, and personal protective equipment. The spacious main compartment with wide-mouth access allows you to pack bulky gear without struggle, while the three separate zippered pockets keep smaller essentials organized and accessible. This eliminates the need for multiple bags during MABAS deployments.

How does the 1000 Denier Cordura Nylon construction protect equipment in emergency scenarios?

The EVAC Systems MABAS bag uses weather-resistant 1000 Denier Cordura Nylon—a military-grade material that provides superior protection against rain, snow, abrasion, and punctures common in emergency scenes. This robust construction ensures your radios, medical supplies, and PPE remain dry and protected whether you're responding to structure fires, vehicle accidents, or outdoor rescue operations. The material's durability also means the bag withstands repeated deployments, vehicle storage, and rough handling without tearing or degrading.

What makes the EVAC Systems MABAS bag more comfortable to carry than standard gear bags during extended operations?

The MABAS Team Bag features both a removable padded shoulder strap and fixed padded handles, providing multiple carry options that reduce fatigue during extended MABAS operations. The padding distributes the weight of heavy gear across your shoulder or hand, preventing strain when transporting equipment from apparatus to scene. This dual-carry system is particularly valuable during mutual aid responses where you may need to quickly transition between vehicle transport and on-foot deployment.

Is the EVAC Systems MABAS bag available in colors that meet department visibility or identification requirements?

The MABAS Team Bag is available in two professional colorways—Red (SKU EP225RD) and Black (SKU EP225BK)—allowing departments to choose based on visibility preferences or organizational standards. Red provides high visibility for quick identification in staging areas or apparatus bays, while Black offers a tactical, professional appearance. Both variants feature the same USA-made 1000 Denier Cordura construction and MABAS-specific compartment design at $125.00.
