Lightning X Fireman Premium 3XL Firefighter Rescue Step-in Turnout Fire Gear Bag w/Shoulder Strap & Helmet Pocket

This is real nice bag well built and all my gear fits in it

I have plenty of room for my helmet, the bag has received many compliments at training today after I got my new turnout gear in it today. The straps are nice, it seems like itll hold up well. Plenty of room for an extra shirt -for any of your chiefs our there in the volunteer departments- that go directly to a scene/fire. In case youd like some dry clothes for the drive home. Plenty of room for my scba mask as well on top of my turnouts. People couldnt believe I only paid what I did for this bag. Well worth it!

It was plenty big and works great!

Very roomy and fit all my firegear

I like the room but it makes everything so much heavier then my brothers bunker gear bag.

Wish it came with a small bag for my mask.

Great gift for Firefighters and EMT Workers.

I bought this bag in 2014 after finally getting tired of trying to stuff my gear into the much smaller bag that my department at the time had kindly provided. This bag provided all the space I needed for my gear and then some. Up until this last week when it finally died, I carried my turnout gear, SCBA mask, walkie strap, PPE (traffic vest, eyewear, hearing protection, spare gloves/hood, particulate respirator, etc.) tool bag, and squad coat without any difficulty. Part-timers like myself did not have gear lockers and we were frequently moved between stations, so the gear came home after every shift and this bag saw a lot of use as a result. After landing full-time elsewhere, I kept this bag in service at my part-time department for a couple years until I finally decided to leave, at which point this bag became my go-to for my infrequent TTs at my full-time department. Oddly enough, this was when it started showing signs of failure. I began to notice the bags bottom had begun to wear down to the point where I could see through the material in some spots. Not unexpected given its heavy use and theres probably not much that can be done to prevent that. As I said, this bag saw heavy use in its first 4 years of service. The first thing to actually go was the stitching for the shoulder strap loop a couple of months ago, which was an easy repair. After reinforcing the stitching, the bag was solid again. Finally, earlier this week, the helmet compartment decided to completely tear away from the rest of the bag along its bottom seam. This seems to be a common problem with this bag going by other reviews and I suspect that its because one of the connection loops for the shoulder strap is stitched in to the helmet compartment rather than the main body of the bag, which puts excessive strain on the seam when using the shoulder strap. I think that in order to prevent this, either the seam should be reinforced or the straps connection point should be moved to the main body of the bag. Or both. Overall, this bag has served me very well over the last half decade. Because of this, I will be ordering a replacement and Im going to see if avoiding the shoulder strap improves its lifespan.
