Maximum Capacity Storage for Oversized Fire Gear When standard bags fall short, the R&B Fabrications Extra-Large Turnout Gear Bag delivers the critical extra volume needed for modern structural firefighting ensembles. Engineered with 25% more storage space than the original model, this oversized duffel comfortably houses taller boots, bulkier coats, and helmets with shields, ensuring your gear is never crammed or compromised.
Key Features
- Massive 5,200 cu. in. Volume: Expanded dimensions (24" L x 16" H x 13.5" W) provide ample room for full turnout gear plus extra layers or bailout kits.
- Rapid Identification: Features a top-mounted clear window ID slot (or front pocket on select models) for instant ownership verification in crowded station lockers.
- Industrial Durability: Constructed from heavy-duty Cordura® nylon to resist abrasion, tears, and the harsh environment of the fireground.
- Reinforced Transport: Supports heavy loads with robust webbing handles designed to withstand the weight of wet, soot-covered gear.
- Versatile Options: Available with the classic Maltese Cross, EMS Star of Life, or plain designs to match department protocols.
- Made in the USA: Built to professional standards for firefighters who demand reliability.
Why It Matters For firefighters with larger frame sizes or those carrying supplementary rescue tools, a standard bag can be a frustration. This XL version eliminates the struggle of forcing zippers closed. It provides the necessary "breathing room" for your PPE, reducing wear on fabrics and ensuring your gear is ready to deploy instantly.
How to Use Open the heavy-duty zipper fully to reveal the cavernous main compartment. Place boots at the bottom, followed by bunker pants and coat. The increased 16-inch height allows the helmet to sit comfortably on top without crushing the brim. Insert your name card or shift assignment into the clear ID window to prevent mix-ups at the scene or station.
Technical Overview This bag retains the rugged simplicity of the Original model but scales up the vertical clearance to 16 inches. The simple single-cavity design minimizes failure points, while the Cordura fabric offers water and mildew resistance.
