The ARS Sidekick Bag is a combination personal rope/bailout rope bag and Multi-Loop Rescue Strap Rapid Deployment Bag, designed to marry two tools into one.  Ideal for the firefighter who wears a truck belt, this bag provides the basic tools necessary for utility, search, escape, firefighter rescue, and civilian rescue in one compact hip bag.  

Constructed from 900D heavy duty nylon, the Sidekick is designed to hold 50' of small diameter rope and associated hardware, along with an ARS Multi-Loop Rescue Strap in its own dedicated pouch on the bottom of the bag.  The Sidekick includes both belt loops and hook & loop strap fasteners to provide a variety of mounting options.

The Sidekick can be purchased alone or as a kit with our recommended components.  The kit includes an ARS Multi-Loop Rescue Strap with Carabiner, 50' of Sterling TVac 6.8mm Rope (Technora Sheath over Nylon Core, MBS 3,619lbs) , and two Petzl SM'D Wall Carabiners.  This equipment provides numerous options for fireground work and rescue for a skilled operator.

Choose Left or Right Side MLRS deployment. For Left Side, the MLRS deploys forward if worn on the Left Side of the body.  For Right Side, the MLRS deploys forward if worn on the Right Side of the body.

The Sidekick Bag is proudly made in the USA.
