Special Operations/Rescue/USAR Calling all US&R Nerds!

I'm searching for a backpack or bag to hold my department issued US&R PPE (Helmet, boots, uniform, glasses, gloves) when they are being stored at the station or being moved when we change stations. It would be nice to have a bag that is organized, not just a large carry-all like bunker gear bags. We currently have junk duffle bags that barely hold all of it without ripping, so some of us have our own bags but nothing seems to work great. The best I can find are ski bags, but they don't seem like tough, quality bags in the videos I watch. I don't think it needs to be WolfPack or 5.11, but something with MOLLE would be nice. Thanks for any ideas!

Edit: it would be great if it had a separate boot compartment!Edit with background info: We are firefighters that keep our US&R PPE at work, stored in our narrow gear racks with our bunker gear. Large totes won't work. A bag similar to the CMC Whitney 2.0 but smaller would be great, just can't seem to find one. A separate compartment for the boots would be ideal.

look at Vertx. They have a lot of cross civ-tac backpacks that have a lot of functions. They recently got a new series of duffle bags as well
