Orca Tactical First Aid Molle Pouch - Heavy Duty IFAK Pouch - Empty Medical Pouch Ideal for Military Use EMTs Law Enforcement Camping and Hiking - Med Pouch for Optimal Organization

The pouch is definitely a lot heavier than it looks and I'm not complaining. Before purchasing, I really didn't know what to expect. It was a very good price and it just so happens it came with matching quality! The paracord zippers make it easy to open and close and is a great additional feature when compared to similar products in its price range. The velcro on the front panel is of high quality and holds the supplied patches (first aid cross patch included) extremely well. The MOLLE webbing is also high quality. Orca Tactical has a newer rip-away version as well (which I will be buying soon), but the snap buttons held strong when I attached it to my pack. The inside has plenty of space for a plethora of items. I have yet to find a pack this size with as much space inside. I mainly use it for my IFAK. It does its job and it does it well, but I would most likely go with a different option if building an emergency trauma kit. The pouch comes shipped in a sealed bag and NOT STOCKED with any supplies. However, I love the fact that I can customize the pouch how I want it with a ton of room for extras. I would like to see the next version with outside straps that would fit my shears and tourniquets similar to the Vanquest fatpacks, but that doesn't take away from the high quality of this pouch for a much lower price point. I am definitely considering Orca Tactical as my go-to company for future pouches and kit building. These kits are sure to last a LONG time!

After quite a bit of research for a quality first aid pouch, I decided on this one. I was frustrated with the first aid kits you can buy because of their size and lack of practical contents, so I decided to make my own. This pouch was a perfect vessel for everything I needed to carry in a first aid kit while keeping the size as compact as possible. It really does feel like the perfect size when in a daypack or stored in the truck. The construction of the pouch feels quite sturdy with the Molle webbing and a quality zipper. I have mine packed quite full and the zipper had no trouble holding together. You do have to get quite creative while packing it to maximize the space but that makes you think through what you actually need to carry. My only suggestion would be to add more pockets on the inside for keeping things secure. If you had this attached to a pack with the Molle system and had loose things in the pouch when you open it, I could see that being a bit cumbersome. However, with my pouch not being attached to a pack, I can keep the loose items inside from falling out when the pouch is opened. I would definitely recommend this product!

This pouch is much bigger than I expected. My fault for not checking the dimensions. The quality is better than much of the "military grade" stuff I was issued in the Navy. The material seems very durable. The zipper seems very sturdy and the stitching is very good as well. Overall a great product. There is a small compartment for a pamphlet or small manual such as those small first aide instruction briefs. The cross is a Velcro patch and is easily removable. I like it, so it stays. This bag has so many more uses than just a medical kit. I use it as an all-around emergency bag for hiking. I keep it on my belt in case I lose my bag. It has a mini survival kit in it as well as all my first aide material. It is long enough for my Epipens, which are a must for me in the back country since I am deathly allergic to bees and wasps. The bag is a little on the heavy side: as far as hiking goes, this is a huge drawback for me, but I find it's usefulness worth the few extra ounces. I will buy a few more of these for sure to keep in my vehicles as emergency kits. It would also fit nicely in the mini tool compartment on my motorcycle.

I purchased this bag for my self/buddy care kit for my C.E.R.T activities, to replace an older one that was not MOLLE and had to be jerryrigged to my pack. It is excellent quality. Heavy Duty fabric, solid stitching, and just has a rugged feel to it. The inside is roomy enough for a good amount of supplies, with elastic bands on both sides of the bag to hold larger supplies. I confess that I would have preferred the nylon mesh supply bag be sewn into the bag, as I just know it is eventually going to get lost, along with everything in it. The outside features a three by four array of MOLLE webbing, the top row of which has velcro loop tape sewn solidly across its entire length (about 5.5"). This leads to the second design change that I would have made - putting Velcro on all three rows of MOLLE loops would have greatly increased flexibility of use. I want to put my name on the top row, the First Aid patch in the center, and team designation on the bottom. But I understand that this is a personal use case that may not be typical. Overall, it's a very nice bag, and well worth the money I paid for it.

I previously purchased two Orca Tactical MOLLE EMT Medical First Aid kit bags/packs that were slightly larger and included an additional pocket and extra removable bag for $18.99 each. After receiving this slightly smaller bag ($14.99), I do like the other ones better because they have more room and the additional extra bag for carrying items. However, with that said this Orca Tactical bag/pack is great quality and will do the job needed. I'm specifically using this one to hold various tools and every day carry (EDC) items. I used one of the larger Orca Tactical packs for my EMT bag (and it works GREAT!) and the other one for survival gear (fire starters, water purification, knife, emergency blanket, etc.). This Orca Tactical bag/pack cost $14.99 (and was $13.99 the day after I ordered) while the slightly larger Orca Tactical EMT bags/packs were $18.99. So just be sure you shop for the bag/pack that fits your needs. Like I said, this one works great for my intended purpose (tool kit) while the other two Orca Tactical bags/packs work great for my other purposes (EMT and survival kits). If I purchased it all over again, I would have purchased the slightly larger bag instead of this one. But it has to do with the storage space and nothing to do with the quality. All the Orca Tactical bags/packs are excellent quality and durable. Good zippers, pockets, D rings, and MOLLE straps.

Got my pouch today and it's better than I hoped for. I think the mesh bag included with the pouch makes all the difference. Being able to store the small items such as alcohol prep pads and ointments is great. The patch wasn't the best but it's still pretty solid. The outter stitching of said patch could use some tlc but if you're buying this bag for the patch your priorities are a bit skewed. The bag itself is a vibrant red, that's what worried me after seeing some competing products. It does have some weight to it which is indicative of a quality product, at least in this case anyway. The zipper is amazingly easy to operate but some might say it's too easy to open. The potential to snag it on something and have the zippers open only to release all the goodies inside is a possibility. If I had to compare the zipper to something I'd compare it to using about the same force to open and close a ziplock bag with the slide on it. The elastic bands inside have nice tension on them and keep everything in place. Over all this was a great purchase. I would definitely recommend this to anyone needing a solid pouch. I'll try to update later down the line.

I delayed writing this to get some time in with the pouch. It has held up very well and is a nice size for intermediate use. It's not a combat medic's pouch, it's a bit bigger than most iFAK's, but it's a nice in between size. It is also relatively flat compared to some pouches like this. Depending on your needs that can be helpful to keep bulk to a minimum. Obviously if you are limited in MOLLE or belt space you'll have a different priority. Zippers work well and the MOLLE appears to be well done and properly spaced. I haven't attached it to anything but did mess around using some MALICE straps to see how it would fit if I decided to. In my case I'm using it in a backpack as an organizational pouch. Internal organization is good. There are changes I would make, but that's true of most pouches, they can't be perfect for everyone and I have yet to find one that is perfect for me. There is plenty of room yet the material is not flimsy, I don't have any concern that the internal dividers won't hold up. Overall construction is good. Not high end, but better than most. Certainly better than anything else I've seen in this price range. For triple the money I'd still be impressed.

I am a regular guy trying to get my stuff organized for camping and what not. I have all kinds of first aid supplies, mainly the stuff you get in a store bought kit except it is stuff accumulated over the years, anyway anytime I needed something I had to look for it through 2-3 bags. I always thought more was better. So I needed a designated bag for the essentials. Everyone's essentials will be similar and our enhancements will be different depending on the situation. This bag is perfect. It is well made and just right (for me) for hunting, fishing, camping, etc. it forces you to think about what you need. It has one inside pocket and very good elastic straps on both sides on the inside. The outside has a small removable first aid cross held on by velcro. It comes with a nice mesh pouch that is the same size as the bag. Very handy. I bought the red version so anyone should be able to recognise it and I can find it better at night. I have not weaved the Molle straps yet as I don't know yet how I am going to deploy it so I can't vouch for it matching your chosen platform. All stitching is good inside and out. I will buy another in a different color. This pouch is a size that is conducive to many missions. Edit; 11/14/16; I now have 2 of these dedicated to a more comprehensive first aid kit.
