This is a great little high quality IFAK pouch.  Big enough for the things you need without being to big to mount in areas that will limit how you move or sit. Quality is on par with 5.11 or Maxpedition.<br /><br />Materials and build quality<br /><br />Stitching is consistent and well done. The zipper is high quality and the pulls are easy to us The hook and loop (velcro) used throughout is a good high quality and seems like it will last well even with hard use.<br /><br />Layout and size<br /><br />The IFAK has plenty of room for essentials. I was able to fit a combat gauze, OPA, small trauma shears, and a full booboo kit in the pack.  You would have a hard time fitting a large full size trauma compress in the pack with everything else, but it could be done.  I prefer a IFAK will a little room that I can get into ( like the booboo kit ) that forces me to inventory things regularly. They elastic layout on the inside is well thought out and provides good retention for large and small items.  You’ll need to experiment a little to get everything to fit how you want it. There is room under the external elastics at the hinge of the pack for a tourniquet but it's snug-  not a bad thing. One of my older style TQ’s also fit well in the retention strap that doubly secures the IFAK to the velcro backing.<br /><br />Negatives<br /><br />Really very minor stuff.  The IFAK out of the package is meant for a horizontal orientation out of the package, and there's no provision for mounting it vertically.  A couple of vertical MOLLE straps added to the back would be great for taking up less real estate on a belt or vest.<br /><br />I don’t lose a lot of sleep about all my gear color matching, and the black is a great option, but adding a brown or gray seems like a great choice for future changes to this well thought out little pack.<br /><br />Conclusion<br /><br />Really impressed with this little pack. For someone that needs a IFAK that can carry a pretty good load, yet not get in the way this is a good option.
