What It Is

Turnout gear is expensive, and storing it wet accelerates degradation of the protective fabrics while creating conditions for mildew and bacteria. The LXFB45M addresses this with Quad-Vent Technology: four corner-positioned, PVC-reinforced mesh vents create true cross-ventilation so air flows through the main compartment rather than stagnating at a single rear vent, drying gear faster and reducing mildew risk for equipment that must be ready at a moment’s notice.

Sized generously at 30″ × 14″ × 15″, the bag accommodates a turnout coat, turnout pants, boots, and a traditional-style fire helmet in a dedicated separate compartment without a cramped fit. The step-in design with a zippered top flap lets gear load from the top and be stepped into directly from the bag at the scene. Dual full-length zippers with nylon pull tabs ensure smooth, reliable opening under pressure.

For daily station use and in-apparatus transport, the bag carries via ballistic nylon webbing handles with high-visibility reflective stitching or the included adjustable padded shoulder strap with heavy-duty snap hooks. Two personal/accessory pockets keep smaller items like SCBA accessories, gloves, and hoods separated and accessible. The embroidered Maltese Cross logo holds up over the bag’s service life. The LXFB45M is built for career and volunteer firefighters, departments standardizing apparatus-bay gear storage, and rescue personnel who transport and store turnout gear in vehicles.
