Carry Bag for Exo®

The Petzl Carry Bag for EXO® is the fire-resistant transport bag Petzl builds for its EXO® personal escape systems, letting a firefighter or rescuer carry the system on a harness and pull it out ready to deploy.

Fire departments use this bag to keep an EXO® evacuation system organised and attached directly to the harness between calls, rather than stowing the rope loose. Petzl describes the bag only as a component of the complete EXO® system, not as an independently specified product, so buyers should choose the size that matches the rope length in their EXO® configuration.

Key features

• Fire-resistant construction, matched to the heat and abrasion the EXO® system is built to withstand during a bailout
• Attaches directly to the harness for hands-free carry
• Two sizes cover the common 15 m and 30 m EXO® rope lengths

Specifications

• Weight: not published independently by Petzl; the bag ships as part of a complete EXO® system rather than as a separately weighed component
• Material(s): fire-resistant fabric (Petzl states only "fire-resistant carry bag," without naming a specific textile)
• Certification(s): none listed independently; the bag is an accessory, not a certified load-bearing part of the system

Works with

• Reference S30AFF fits EXO® configurations using up to 15 m of 7.5 mm line, such as the Petzl EXO® AP HOOK and EXO® EASHOOK OPEN systems
• Reference S30BAN is sized for longer EXO® CUSTOM builds, up to 30 m of 7.5 mm line

Common questions

What is the difference between S30AFF and S30BAN?

The Petzl S30AFF carry bag is sized for EXO® systems using up to 15 m of 7.5 mm line, while the Petzl S30BAN is the larger version for EXO® CUSTOM builds using up to 30 m of line; both are black and fire-resistant.

Does Petzl call this bag "flame resistant" or "fire-resistant"?

Petzl's own product pages describe the EXO® carry bag as "fire-resistant," without a specific flame-test standard or temperature rating for the bag on its own.

Is the carry bag sold with rope, or on its own?

These references are the bag only, sold separately from the EXO® rope and hardware, for replacing a damaged or missing bag.
