About This Gear
The FRE Adjustable Hose Strap Backbone was developed to be a universal center piece to accommodate any type of 2" hose straps. Easily slide your 2" hose strap through any of the three locations along the FRE Adjustable Backbone Strap. Once the hose straps are in place, they are now kept organized and together in ONE single strap. This eliminates the need to find small individual straps on scene once the hose pack is deployed. Simply slide the buckle on either side of center to adjust each side to the desired length from 36" to 60". The FRE Adjustable Hose Pack allows for on the fly adjustments but securely holds position for a reliable and consistent load each time. Designed to be used with both hand-lines and supply hose, whether single stack or double stack.
Designed with high-visibility white reflective material, the FRE Hose Pack remains easy to identify on scene, in smoke-filled conditions, and in low-light environments. The durable high-visibility material can also be marked with a standard Sharpie®, making it simple to label equipment for accountability and organization.
Proudly made in the USA and machine washable for easy maintenance, the FRE Adjustable Hose Pack delivers the durability, flexibility, and visibility firefighters demand for daily operations and emergency response.
The FRE Adjustable Hose Strap Backbone is the ultimate compilation strap to be used with our Adjustable Hose Straps. This combination allows for the unique ability to adjust the hose straps as needed and the option to attach the hose straps to the backbone strap at different locations. Wether you need to pack a Denver pack, 2.5" hose pack, 100' 2" high rise pack, single 50' 1.75" hand line, or any other loads, these straps will get the job done!
Frequently Asked Questions
The Backbone Strap keeps your hose straps connected in one organized system. Instead of managing loose individual straps after deployment, everything stays together, making hose pack rebuilding faster and more consistent.
No. The Backbone Strap is designed to work with most standard 2" hose straps. However, it's engineered to pair perfectly with FRE Adjustable Hose Straps for maximum flexibility and performance.
The five evenly spaced loops allow you to position your hose straps where they work best for your preferred hose pack. Whether your department runs a Denver load, high-rise pack, hand line, or another configuration, you can customize the setup to fit your needs.
Absolutely. One of the biggest advantages of the Backbone Strap is its flexibility. Simply move your hose straps to different attachment points as your department's hose loads or operational preferences evolve.

Yes. The reflective Cordura® panel can be marked with a permanent marker, making it easy to identify apparatus assignments, company numbers, or specific hose packs.
If the Backbone Strap becomes dirty after training or an incident, simply close any attached Velcro straps before machine washing on a cold, gentle cycle. Air drying is recommended to help maximize the life of the materials.
Loose hose straps have a way of disappearing once a hose pack is deployed. We designed the Backbone Strap to keep everything connected, organized, and ready to rebuild quickly. It's a simple solution that helps crews spend less time managing equipment and more time preparing for the next call.
The FRE strap is awesome. It is the only tool strap I have seen where you can use it for multiple things besides just the set of irons. The strap stands out from the ones I have used before because it actually sits against your side and can be attached so it doesn’t swing around while you are working on scene.
Great products! I used to carry a 10’ loop of webbing in my bunker pants, now I carry the FRE webbing because it is more versatile and the same weight. You can tell that the products are designed by actual first responders who are on the job. Definitely recommend!
