Lightning X ProductsPremium Step-In Turnout Gear Bag Front Operations Pocket - Black

Bought this bag about 3 months ago to keep my gear organized in my truck and it's a game changer! I store a full set of bunkers (step-in setup) and helmet int here, its a perfect fit! Even has enough room in the side pockets to add water bottles, a few protein bars, socks, a tee shirt and some face wipes for those wonderful 100° summer days. The bag keeps things organized, prevents my helmet from sliding in the truck bed and helps me gear up from the tailgate way faster.Pros:- incredibly durable- comfortable shoulder strap- spacious enough for full bunkers- looks awesomeCons:- haven't found any yet!

I just got this bag today, but I am VERY impressed. It is spacious and looks well-made. It fits all of my gear in it with no issue, and still has some room to spare with the pockets.

No complaints so far really. I had to find the perfect way to store my boots/pants (together), coat and helmet in the large opening. Not all helmets will fit on the side pockets. Also if you have a external visor on your helmet that’s a no go. New York style helmets have a bit easier go at it however. Super convenient, so far it is holding up pretty well.

Doesn't seem like this bag would work well for full sized structure bunkers as its just a tad small however I bought this to haul my Wildland PPE around & for that purpose its perfect.I have plenty of room in the main compartment for my boots, brush shirt, pants & helmet plus an extra pair of pants & my heavy Nomex jacket & there's still a bit more room for more if I needed. The side pockets are big enough for a heavy sweatshirt, Fire shelter in a dozer harness or odds & ends like snacks, goggles, beanie etc.The construction is of heavy duty nylon with a thick rubber bottom with HD zippers & the whole thing seems like it should last quite a while.Only time will tell now.

I like the upright style. I unzip the bag and step directly into my bunker pants without even unpacking it.Here's how I pack the main compartment, which will give you an idea of the size. My coat is on the bottom. Boots and bunker pants stand on one end of the coat. Helmet rests on the toes of the boots, with Nomex and gloves and vest wadded into the helmet. The compartment fits that much, in that shape — and nothing else. You'll have to decide whether it works for you, but that's exactly how I want my gear to be arranged.There are a variety of pouches on the outside. Each of the four vertical ones on the front and back would hold a large flashlight, or a couple of thick pairs of socks. I wish they had flaps to cover them, but they don't. The side pouches have zippers. They hold a folded t-shirt or a handful of notebooks.Does that help with the dimensions and layout?The quality seems just fine. After six months, I have no complaints. I personally like the black color because it stands out in a sea of red bags. The reflective stripes make sure that I can find it when it gets left in a dark environment.

My 4 stars mainly represents the quality of this bag. It is very well made. However, I struggle to get all my gear inside the bag and zip it closed. I'm 5' 11' and 210lbs. The gear I put in this bag is typical firefighter gear. Boots, bunker pants, turnout coat, structure and extrication gloves, nomex hood, and helmet (traditional style). I don't carry a bunch of extras. I have a medium sized flashlight, 20 foot of webbing, small case of extra flashlight batteries. If I'm real careful I can get all my gear in the bag and zip it up. Usually, though, I leave it upzipped. If it weren't for the lack of size this bag would get 5 stars from me.

The bag is huge! Fits most of my husbands gear and plenty more.

Got this bag as a gift for my firefighter husband. He is a volunteer for hartsel Colorado. He absolutely loved it! We'll see how it stands the test of time and the sturdiness when he's jumping in 2 go on a call! I do wish there was an option to add personalization to this bag though that would be too amazing. Did that on my own .Great bag
