Hotshot Cal Spec Pack, Mystery Ranch Fire Line Packs

Tested over tens of thousands of overtime hours, cutting chain after chain of fireline, the workhorse of wildland packs enters its next decade of service with ergonomic improvements and even more durability. Over a long season on a Hotshot crew, engine, or helicopter, your fire pack becomes the one thing you can truly call your own. The Hotshot offers key tailoring touches, features that improve both comfort and function, and improved framing—because every cubic inch of a fire pack is gold to the firefighter wearing it.

Key Attributes & Features:

• Framing, structure, support, durability, and adjustability are what set this load bearing Hotshot pack apart from the field of industry-standard web gear. But framing for the Fireline is an art of walking a line that lets the wearer maintain agility and mobility while carrying 50+ lbs. for days on end.
• Multiple elements combine and work in concert to form a system greater than the sum of its parts. The Fire-specific yoke features and patented Futura adjustment system that telescopically adjusts to any user’s torso length, and houses a framesheet/adjuster whose aircraft-grade 7075 Aluminum stay is pre-curved to match the contour of the upper back. In the body of the bag, HDPE plastic backed by a vertically mounted fiberglass rod form the foundation of the framing, bridging between the yoke and the structure of the Fire belt. A patented lumbar system ties into the structured wings of the belt, completing load transfer through the body to anchor in the hips and core.
