Building Egress Self-Rescue kits – Which would you buy?

[admin]

I’m looking at buying a self-contained emergency egress kit and would like opinions from knowledgeable people (i.e. firefighters, SAR, etc…trained people only, please) on what to look for and pros and cons of one vs. another. I will receive appropriate, professional training before incorporating this into my gear loadout.

Here are the two I’m considering but I am open to other manufacturers’ kits as long as they are of similar form factor.

Thanks for any info from knowledgeable people…please, if you are not trained in this area and do not have direct experience with this, please no uninformed opinions. I have enough of those in real life.
