Review on 🔥 Enhanced Quad-Vent Turnout Gear Bag for Firefighters with Helmet Compartment, Mesh Vents & Maltese Cross - Perfect for First Responders by Chad Black

This is the 3rd case I've bought from LightningX. The first (black) was a step-in bag. It held the bunker gear great and was strong when not full but 3 zips broke completely even after 3 months of light use. Then I bought a very large (brown) ripstop bag to replace. It was flimsy when not full, but it held my full bunker and wildlife gear that I loved, plus lots more room. However, after about 5 light applications the ripstop tore a little and after 3 more applications the other part of the ripstop got a big tear (again with EASY use like getting it from my truck to my locker at the train station, eight). Mal), so he thought that bag was non-functional. Then I tried this bag. Love it as I didn't like the very large bag - it was too big for me considering how thin it is. Also, I decided to use a different bag for my gear. This new bag is a bit flimsy when not full but now the shoulder strap doesn't stay tight so when I carry it over my shoulder it slips off and sags really low. This of course happened after 6 uses and 40 days after purchase (and happens every time now) so I can't return it. So annoying. I tried 3 different styles and spent a lot of money but the Lightning X didn't answer any of my questions after multiple attempts to contact every bag I owned. As a result, I threw away my two old bags (I've used no more than 10 of each) and now the strap on this bag won't hold up after 6 uses. Shame as I really expected these bags to last. This is after very light use folks, I'm a volunteer so only use it occasionally and not as a career FF. If you need a quality bag for the long haul I would recommend looking elsewhere.
