Excellent trauma kit
Civilan user here. Purchased one with my DART training course, all of the components are top notch. The pouch rides easily on the side of my daily use backpack.

Must have product
L.E. here. I carry this IFAK(+ extra TQ) while on duty and for my personal rig. It has all the essentials. Great quality overall!

Perfect IFAK
Fits perfectly on my PC and in my backpack without any unnecessary bulk. Should handle all of the exterior trauma needs I might encounter when treating bleeding. I'm buying the ankle pack next.

DARK kit review
Outstanding kit! Well made quality pouch, top notch med items. I am well pleased. In hindsight I probably would have gone with the DARK SLIM just to reduce the profile while carrying on my belt but its not a big issue for me. Easily goes everywhere with me. Thank you for your commitment to provide top quality med kits for EDC.

Just what I needed.
As a private security contractor, I sometimes spend 10-12 hours in full plates riding in a chase vehicle. My old hodge podge IFAK was too bulky and had too much extra crap. My DARK kit is much smaller, fits my plate carrier better and only has bare essentials. I up ordered to the mil-spec kit, and couldn't be happier. It's pricey, but the obvious build quality and fact that it's filled with actual name brand equipment (not some cheap knockoff) tells me I got what I paid for. Also, my kit wss in my hands less than 72 hours after order. I'm recommending this kit to everyone on my team.

medkit awesome!
I got one of these to go on my battle belt for the range and this was the best choice I could have ever made going with this company. I have looked at few others but not any of them was like these! Everything I needed ready to rock and roll plus it wasn't long to get here when it was shipped. So if your looking at getting one for yours then this is the choice you need to make is these guys! Amazing and keep up the great work!!

Just what you must have if you are serious about shooting.
Like the man says ...everything you need and nothing you don't! A must have if you are ever around any gunfire. Would not go to the range without one. Quality product with an outstanding delivery method.

Review
Amazing product. Love everything it comes with, the only negative I have is that it does not come with molle straps, it has the slots but not the straps.

Awesome Compact Kit
This is by far the top compact trauma kit on the market. The size is just right for hiking, putting in a range bag and to have on you for daily use. The contents are quality and can be used for a variety of medical situations.

Awesome compact kit
I looked into several different compact trauma kits and the DARK Gen 4 is definitely top of the line. I was looking for a compact kit to have with me at all time weather it be hiking, camping, at the range or just driving around. From my years of emergency medical experience, I know the contents are quality and can be used for a variety of situations. these are great all around kits and have a little extra room for additional gloves and bandages.
