When we say only the highest, WE MEAN IT!
When we need a bag, we need one that can withstand the everyday brutal world we work in. We cannot afford to cut corners, especially when it comes to saving lives. We need our bags to hold and protect the belongings we put into them. Whether it’s for a life-saving oxygen tank, an Isothermal Blanket, to your socks, you are not just purchasing an L.A. Rescue® bag to hold your things, but you are purchasing insurance and assurance that your necessities will be making it to the scene and coming back with you by the end.
Exterior Coverings
Except as otherwise noted, all L.A. Rescue® products are made from DuPont 1000 denier, super-K-coated Cordura nylon, DuPont 1050 denier Ballistic "Bomb Cloth", or 1080 denier Ballistic nylon. All water resistant, washable and virtually tear-proof. We use the toughest, most durable and practical heavy-duty exterior materials available.
Interior Liners
All lined compartments feature smooth-surfaced 400 denier nylon pack cloth to protect clothing or other items that might be damaged by the rugged surface of Cordura.
Handles and Straps
One-, two-, and three-inch heavy-duty black nylon webbing straps are used. All are triple-stitched and reinforced for added strength and stability. Most webbing carry handles feature soft high high-quality leather comfort wraps with Velcro closures. Comfort Grip elastomeric carry handles are also used, featuring made-in U.S.A. heavy tubular nylon webbing. Adjustable padded ergonomically designed shoulder straps are used on most packs and bags, with a comfortable non-slip Cool-Guard coated mesh that covers the body contact areas.
Zippers
All zippers are self-repairing, genuine heavy-duty YKK brand, industrial grade, sizes # 8 and #10. Double sliding zippers, capable of accepting padlocks or tie raps, are utilized for all major cargo-pouch access closures. High use storage compartments have nylon zip tabs to facilitate smooth zipper function.
Extra-Large Storage Compartments for ease of access
Main storage compartments feature extra large entry/access for ease in packing and unpacking.
Interior Padding
All padding is closed cell "X-Link", waterproof, high-density foam.
Threads
Industrial-bonded nylon threads are utilized throughout. Most seams are double-stitched. High-stress areas are triple-stitched for maximum durability.
Seams
All seams are sewn over with a 525 lb test nylon binding tape. This extra step assures the interior seams will not become "frayed" in the years ahead.
Card Holder
Most L.A. Rescue® products include a Tanera leather card holder with a clear, scratch-resistant, pliable plastic window.
Reflective Materials
Glow-Flex visibility material is used for a new dimension in safety. Glow-flex is both reflective and phosphorescent. This allows Your L.A. Rescue® products to be highly visible in darkness with or without light. Scotchlite super reflective silver trim is also used on some products.
Swivel Key Clips
All of the key clips are heavy-duty stainless steel.
Strap-to-Bag Attachments
Shoulder, pack, and other straps feature heavy-duty, welded steel “D” rings with matching steel snap swivel attachment hooks. All side-release buckles and tension locks are made of super-tough Acetal or Nylon.
