CMC RigTech Pack for Rescue Teams

When you’re on a rescue mission, whether in a burning building or out in the wilderness, every second counts. The RigTech Pack by CMC is designed for professionals who need to act fast, stay organized, and maintain peak performance in high-stakes situations. For fire service technical rope rescue teams and search and rescue (SAR) units, this pack delivers reliability, durability, and ease of use, ensuring you have everything you need right at your fingertips.

Intelligent Organization for Maximum Efficiency

In rope rescue, gear clutter can slow you down and put lives at risk. Firefighters and SAR teams often operate in chaotic, time-sensitive environments where organization is critical.

The RigTech Pack features a compartmentalized storage system that helps you keep your rescue hardware, ropes, and personal gear neatly separated and easy to locate. Designed with input from rescue professionals, the pack includes:

  • Dedicated compartments for carabiners, pulleys, and belay devices
  • Quick-access pockets for essential tools like knives and gloves
  • Large central storage for ropes and harnesses, keeping them tangle-free

For firefighters navigating collapsed structures or SAR teams working in rugged wilderness, the organization offered by the RigTech Pack minimizes downtime and ensures that your team can deploy systems rapidly. It’s all about making sure the right tool is always within reach.

Lightweight Yet Rugged for Tough Environments

Rope rescue missions are physically demanding, often taking place in extreme conditions. Whether it’s a high-rise structure fire or a remote mountain rescue, the RigTech Pack balances lightweight construction with extreme durability to help you move quickly and confidently.

  • Tough materials like ballistic-grade nylon ensure the pack stands up to abrasion, water, and rough handling
  • Reinforced stitching and zippers guarantee that even under heavy loads, the pack won’t fail in critical moments
  • At just the right weight, it provides capacity without compromising your mobility, so whether you’re scaling debris piles or lowering down cliff faces, you remain agile

For fire service rope rescue teams, it stands up to the heat both literally and figuratively. For SAR teams, it’s durable enough for any backcountry mission, no matter the weather.

Ergonomic Design for Long-Duration Missions

Rescue operations can be exhausting. Whether you’re managing a high-angle evacuation from a multi-story building or setting up a system for a wilderness rescue, you need gear that helps you keep going.

The CMC RigTech Pack’s ergonomic design reduces strain on your body, so you can focus on the task at hand:

  • Padded shoulder straps and adjustable harness points evenly distribute weight across your back and shoulders, helping to reduce fatigue during long missions
  • Airflow channels along the back panel keep you cool during intense operations, especially in full turnout gear or bulky rescue suits
  • Easily adjustable fit, even when wearing gloves or PPE, allows quick adjustments on the move, whether you’re racing up stairs or crossing rough terrain

For technical rescue units often working extended shifts, this design prevents exhaustion from becoming a barrier to success. It provides comfort without compromising your readiness.

Modularity and Customization for Mission-Specific Needs

Every rescue mission is different, and the CMC RigTech Pack’s modular design allows it to adapt to the unique demands of each operation. For fire service teams and SAR units, where the scope and nature of rescues can vary dramatically, this customization is invaluable.

  • Modular compartments allow you to adjust the pack’s layout for different gear loads, whether it’s a vertical rope rescue in an urban setting or a multi-team response in the wilderness
  • MOLLE webbing on the exterior gives you the option to attach additional pouches, tools, or hydration systems, ensuring the pack can grow with the complexity of the mission
  • Compression straps help stabilize your load, whether you’re scaling down a cliffside or rappelling through tight spaces in urban environments

For firefighters executing confined space rescues or search and rescue teams handling extended missions in unpredictable environments, the RigTech Pack ensures that your gear is not just stored but tailored to your specific needs.

 

In rescue scenarios, being prepared can mean the difference between life and death. The RigTech Pack is more than just a gear bag. It is an essential part of your rescue system. With its intelligent design, rugged durability, ergonomic comfort, and customizable modularity, the RigTech Pack is built for the unique demands of fire service rope rescue teams and SAR units alike.

Whether you’re conducting a high-angle rescue from a building, a mountainside, or a collapsed structure, the CMC RigTech Pack ensures that you’re always ready for the mission ahead.

Peace on your Days
