Everything you need, nothing you don't
This kit is packed with all the essentials,and is quite compact. The quality of the bag itself outstanding, and ie made from very tough material. I plan to order another one, just to keep in my truck.

The D.A.R.K. LE/First Responder Kit is great!
I’ve become so so used to having this kit attached to my fire pack, that I had to purchase a second kit that rides in my “go-bag” during the off season. It’s an excellent kit in a small accessible package that I never leave home without. Thanks so much!

Excellent Trauma Kit in a Small Package
My kit arrived within a few days and has all I need to hang on the back of my battle belt. Don't leave home without it!

Good quality. Personal touch with my order
I am not a first responder. Nevertheless, I am impressed with this kit and I am a repeat customer. I think everything in this kit is US-made and it seems to be well thought out. My kit had several upgrades and I believe that this is as good a deal as one would get on materials such as this. As usual, there was a hand written thank you note included. I have no doubt that if I were to need some sort of customer service, I'd be taken care of.

Great product
This is a well put together product with easy and quick opening pouches. I hope I don’t have to review how well the contents work because that would mean either I or someone else was hurt. I do carry it with me in my patrol car. While I was in the army I went through the tactical combat casualty care class so I am used to the items inside. Just hope I don’t need to use them.

Best Product/Best Service
Recently purchased 4 D.A.R.K. Trauma Kits for work. We're on the range A LOT and safety is always of the upmost importance. The D.A.R.K Trauma Kits have everything you need and nothing you don't in a conveniently sized carry case. Perfect for wearing on your person (which you should) or to keep handy in your range bag. The products and services provided by Dark Angel Medical are second to none. I highly recommend them to anyone needing a trauma kit or training.

They have my future business based on my first order!
While I did expect a great product based on the numerous reviews on this site (and others), I was surprised with how fast it arrived. Approximately 72 hours later I open the box to a well put together kit, with the added class of a hand written "thank you" on the receipt. I sold on Dark Angel!
