The D.A.R.K. in action
WHAT'S INSIDE
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
Every D.A.R.K. Trauma Kit carries proven lifesaving supplies: a CAT Gen 7 tourniquet (or SOF-T Gen 5), hemostatic gauze, a HALO vented chest seal, an emergency bandage, compressed gauze, nitrile gloves, a mylar blanket, a polycarbonate eye shield, and full-size trauma shears.
Three levels let you match the kit to your role. Civilian covers the core components most people need. LE/FR steps up to QuikClot Combat Gauze LE. Mil Spec configures the kit to military specification.
BUILT FOR SPEED
One pull. Ready to work.
The quick-deploy pull handle opens the kit in a single motion. No zippers to fight, no digging. The Hook and Loop system mounts to a belt, pack, or vehicle and tears away when you need the kit in your hands.
Add the optional Rip-Away Panel to detach the whole kit from its mount instantly.
TWO WAYS TO PACK
Vacuum sealed or ready access.
The vacuum-sealed insert keeps every component compressed, protected, and organized until the moment it is used. Prefer to see and reach your supplies without breaking a seal? Choose the D.A.R.K. Pouch Insert: elastic bands and red pull handles hold everything in place for unsealed, organized access.
CARRY IT ANYWHERE
On your belt. On your pack. In your vehicle.
At 3 x 3.5 x 8 inches and 19 ounces, the D.A.R.K. rides wherever you do: belt line, backpack strap, range bag, plate carrier, or vehicle headrest. Eight colors cover everything from blend-in tactical to find-it-fast high visibility.
