The "Hands-Free" Solution for Turnout Gear Transport The Evac Systems Firefighter Bunker Pack (Model EP230) reimagines how firefighters move their gear. Unlike traditional duffels that strain one shoulder, this backpack-style carrier distributes the weight of heavy bunkers, boots, and helmets across both shoulders using two reinforced straps. It allows you to carry your complete structural ensemble hands-free, making it perfect for high-rise responses, wildland deployments, or simply walking from the parking lot to the station.

Key Features

Backpack-Style Carry: Equipped with two shoulder straps and a hook-and-loop handle closure, allowing for balanced, ergonomic transport of 50+ lbs of gear.

Wide-Mouth Access: The main compartment features a zipper that extends down the sides, allowing the bag to open wide for easy loading of bulky coats and pants without the "stuff sack" struggle.

Integrated Organization:

Main Compartment: Fits coat, pants, helmet, and boots.

Two Large Side Pockets: Dedicated storage for gloves, hoods, bailout ropes, or personal items.

Rugged Durability: Built from 1,000 Denier Cordura® Nylon, this pack is engineered to withstand the abrasion of concrete floors and the rigors of emergency response.

Why It Matters Carrying gear shouldn't be a workout before the fire. The Bunker Pack saves your back. By shifting the load to a backpack configuration, it frees your hands to carry coffee, keys, or other tools. It is the preferred choice for firefighters who travel between stations or need a "go-bag" for volunteer response.

How to Use

1. Open: Unzip the main flap fully.

2. Pack: Place boots and pants at the bottom, helmet in the middle, and coat on top.

3. Stow: Use side pockets for mask bags, gloves, and extra socks.

4. Carry: Sling both straps over your shoulders for hands-free movement.

Technical Overview The bag features a robust design with reinforced handles and heavy-duty zippers. The side pockets add significant volume for accessories that usually get lost in a main duffel compartment.
