Awesome Kit
Kit is amazing it’s everything you could need the only thing I don’t like is the placement of the scissors as size of scissor handle. When they are in the side pocket the handle sticks out past the front of the kit which makes packing it in a backpack a little difficult because you don’t want to damage the backpack or the kit. If they could find a way to put the scissors on the back side of the kit it would be much better.

Dark Slim Gen. 2
My kit arrived very quickly after ordering. Kit is very well made and seems to be quite capable of handling whatever it will be put through. As with anyone who buys one of these kits, I pray I never have to use it, but knowing the world we live in, I probably will. Thank you Dark Angle for making something that should last for a long time to come.
