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
- Pack: Load turnout gear (pants, coat, boots, helmet) into the main compartment.
- Organize: Use the end pockets for bedding or extra uniforms.
- 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.
