The EVAC Systems Boston Style Search Operations Bag is a RIT search rope bag that holds a full 220 ft of RIT rope in a body 2" shorter than the Chicago Style. Fix one end at the entry, move in, and the rope feeds out of the bag behind your crew.

That line marks the way back to fresh air and gives more rescuers a route to follow you inside. Until then, a drawstring top under a front fold-over flap keeps the rope contained.

Why it works:

  • A full line in a shorter bag: The bag holds 220 ft of RIT rope at 11" x 4" x 13", 2" shorter than the Chicago Style.
  • Line follows the crew in: With one end fixed at the door or outside the building, the rope self-deploys from the bag as the team moves through the structure.
  • Rope stays put until it's needed: A drawstring top sits under a front fold-over flap for extra security.
  • Seen from either side: Heat-resistant reflective tape on the front and back keeps the bag visible from both directions.
  • Strap set up your way: Order the shoulder strap with 1 or 2 seatbelt-style quick-release buckles, on a 1000D Cordura nylon bag.

Who it's built for:

Built for RIT teams and search teams who want a full 220 ft line in a shorter bag. Departments can choose from four colors and two strap versions.

Included

  • 1 x EVAC Systems Boston Style Search Operations Bag

Not included

  • Rope.
  • A Snag-Free Search Line Carrier For the RIT firefighter navigating tight quarters. A smooth bullet-style profile with no protruding pockets glides over debris, furniture, and door frames without catching during a search.
  • Shorter for Confined Spaces For the responder squeezing through a wall breach. Two inches shorter than the Chicago style, it moves through collapse voids and tight openings where a larger bag gets stuck.
  • Rope That Stays Put, Then Pays Out For the searcher on an aggressive advance. A drawstring nested under a fold-over flap keeps 220 feet of search rope contained, then deploys smoothly when anchored and pulled.
  • Ditched in an Instant if Entangled For the firefighter who snags on the way out. A seatbelt-style buckle on the shoulder strap releases the bag the moment a member becomes entangled.
  • A Visual Reference in the Smoke For the RIT team tracking the line. Reflective tape front and back marks the bag as a reference point in low-visibility, smoke-filled conditions.
