Why PacMule
Designed Where the Work Happens
PacMule began with experienced Illinois firefighters who wanted belts that worked the way they do: on ladders, in full turnout gear, with both hands needed for the job.
Practical equipment for the fireground, shaped by the people who use it.

Firefighter-Developed
Originally developed by working firefighters for real-world fireground applications.
Hands Free for the Climb
Drop-down tool D-rings secure tools so hands stay free for climbing and working, then fold down when not in use.
Seen in Low Light
3M Scotchlite reflective material helps make the belt more visible in low-light conditions.
Comfort Under Load
Coolmax-lined comfort padding and strong webbing designed for demanding environments.
