    Pocket Escape System Bag
    The pocket of your bunker pants is the logical place to carry an escape system. However, this requires a method to keep everything organized. The Sterling Pocket Escape System Bag provides this solution in a versatile and durable package. With a reversible cover flap, the bag will integrate with any turnout’s existing hook and loop closure. High abrasion and wear areas are lined with ultra-durable Orca fabric to prevent damage to turnout gear from hooks and descenders.
