D.A.R.K. (DIRECT ACTION RESPONSE KIT) Slim Trauma Kit and Individual First Aid Kit (IFAK)
The D.A.R.K. Slim, which is similar to our signature kit, (The DARK) has everything you need, and nothing you don't when it comes to a lifesaving trauma kit. The DARK Slim is packed tightly with more trauma supplies than you can typically find in other trauma kits this size. This tactical style trauma kit, or Individual First Aid Kit (IFAK), was designed with "simplicity under stress" in mind, for when you need it most. The DARK Slim is trusted by both, the Military in the world's worst environments and Law Enforcement Agencies around the country. The D.A.R.K. Slim is perfect for the Military and Law Enforcement as a tactical trauma kit, and for First Responders and Civilian use.
Features:
- Made in the U.S.A.

The webbing is woven through the channels on web gear and “tucked” back under and tension holds the kit in place. **BLACK POUCHES HAVE DETACHABLE BELT LOOPS*** The pouch is 500D nylon made in the USA.

3 D.A.R.K.s later
Bought my first kit 5 years ago, and have loved them ever since. Bought one for the range, liked it so much I bought another one a year later for my go bag. This year I bought another motorcycle and decided to get one for the bag I ride with. Have never had any problems or issues with any of them. And, how can you beat the guarantee that if you use it, they’ll replace it if you get the accident report.

Excellent Quality
Luckily I haven’t had to use this kit yet, but the packaging and nylon pouch seem well made. The pull-out insert seems very high quality as well. Only addition so far was a large “MED” patch that’s easily seen.

Excellent Kit
DARK Slim Trauma Kit - delivered exactly as described. Has everything that it is supposed, nothing it doesn't. This is my second similar kit from Dark Angel Medical, always pleased. I endorse this American small business, and I endorse this product. Be prepared, get training, and call on Dark Angel Medical for your FAK needs. Be ready + be safe out there...

Great value
Hope to never have to use it but this kit combined with the DART class puts me in a position to make a difference if I do need it. Bringing it on all future hikes and motorcycle rides.

Solid kit.
Very solid kit. Well made and is able to be customized with very high quality medical equipment. The only thing I could be slightly improved is the pull tab to open the pouch could be sewn back over itself to provide a better grip for ripping it open. But overall it is high quality and fits well on my external vest. Much smaller profile than comparable packs and still holds just as much, if not more.

Super Solid Kit
It’s super solid. Comes with everything you need in a compact and well made pouch. Though it’s on the expensive side it’s well worth the price.

D.A.R.K. Slim Trauma Kit
Perfect size, great contents, very happy with purchase.

Great layout
The attachment method allows for height adjustment on my belt, tourniquet and shears have no slop, plus, everything is quick and easy to access. The only thing that I would (and will) change is to add duct tape so you can use the vacuum seal bag or mylar blanket as extra improvised chest seals in a mass shooting situation.

Excellent Kit
I have two with pouch inserts. They might be slightly larger than some of the other kits out there but the extra medical you can add and being able to bundle everything (tq and shears) sold me. I’ve been through multiple pouches and these are the ones I run now. The pouch insert is awesome for being able to quickly deploy and access your med components. Definitely a great piece of kit!

DARK Slim
Going to give this thing 5 stars. Super happy with it. I decided to put this kit on my gun belt. I opted for the pouch insert on this one or easy access with my off hand. All of the vacuum sealed products arrived intact just fine. I was super excited to find out these guys were based in Colorado, so I'm supporting a local business here. My only minor complaint is with the pouch itself. It looks like a seam busted on the lid cover and i have a bit of nylon thread loose. Beyond that super minor thing, I'm thrilled with this kit.
