Adaptable Mobility for Technical Rescue & Squad Operations The R&B Fabrications Urban Rescue Backpack is a purpose-built platform designed for high-angle rescue, air medical services, and tactical squads who demand complete modularity. Unlike static EMS bags, this pack features a fully Velcro®-lined main compartment, allowing you to customize the internal layout with removable pockets to fit your specific mission profile—whether that’s a heavy trauma loadout or a specialized technical rescue kit. Key Features Fully Modular Interior: The main compartment is lined with hook-and-loop material, allowing you to arrange (and instantly remove) internal pouches, oxygen sleeves, or equipment modules to suit the mission. Convertible Carry System: Features a unique "false back" panel that allows the padded shoulder straps and waist belt to be completely tucked away, converting the pack into a snag-free duffel for hoisting or tight storage. 360° Impact Protection: The main compartment is encased in closed-cell foam, providing superior shock absorption for delicate medical electronics, ampules, or oxygen regulators. Expanded Exterior Storage: Includes a large front zippered compartment (10" x 15" x 3") and two removable side pockets (5" x 11" x 2") for rapid access to high-priority gear like gloves, BVMs, or hemorrhage control tools. Integrated Airway Organization: The main flap opens to reveal an 18-inch slot pocket and six clear vinyl compartments, perfect for organizing endotracheal tubes, airways, and intubation blades. Mission-Specific Visibility: Available in Safety Orange or Navy Blue with 3M™ Silver Reflective trim and a "Star of Life" for EMS, or a blackout "Tactical" version for law enforcement and covert operations. Why It Matters In technical rescue or flight medic scenarios, a standard backpack is often too rigid in its layout. This bag adapts to you. Need to haul a "D" cylinder? Add the sleeve. Running a lightweight SAR mission? Strip the interior to cut weight. The ability to hide the suspension system is a critical safety feature for helicopter operations and rope rescue, preventing straps from tangling in rotors or rigging. How to Use Configuration: Open the main clamshell zipper. Attach your specific module kit (sold separately or included in specific "Kit" versions) to the Velcro back wall. If carrying oxygen, secure the cylinder sleeve in the center. Deployment: Wear as a backpack for the hike in. Once on scene, unzip the main compartment to lay the bag flat. The clear flap pockets allow you to see your airway tools immediately. Storage: For vehicle or aircraft stowage, unbuckle the straps and slide them into the rear "false back" compartment to create a streamlined profile. Technical Overview Constructed from industrial 1000 Denier Cordura® nylon, the pack is built to resist the abrasion of concrete, rocks, and metal grating. The #10 YKK self-repairing zippers ensure the bag stays operational even if subjected to dust or grit.
