Quality
The quality of this product is on point my only complaint and it is minor is that the kit if utilized busts the seal and makes it hard for retrieval. A rip away panel would have been a nice touch as well

D.A.R.K. Trauma Kit
I have taken classes with Dark Angel and own various models and generations of first aid and trauma kits, from the smallest, pocket-size EDC model to the D.A.R.K. Trauma kit (4 kits, now). I just purchased another kit to keep in my wife's new car. Glad to have it. I really like the new Rip Shears RS-2B Tactical, with the seat-belt cutter affixed to the scissor handle. Glad I purchased this optional item.

This is my third kit. I am a firearms instructor and I teach self defense. I keep one in my range bag, one in my vehicle, and one at home. Quality product with everything you need and nothing you don't.
Truly a quality kit that can and will save a life. Compact, easy to carry. All you need is the training to use it.
