A friend recently showed me the Lynx Defense Ankle Medical Kit. It features storage for trauma supplies in heavy-duty elastic pouches. Two of the pouches are secured with a flap and two narrow pouches have open tops for fast access to items like a tourniquet.
The Ankle Medical Kit is made in the USA and available in any color you want as long as its black.
The Blue Force Gear Tracer Pack, previously available in Black or Wolf Grey, is now available in Multicam. Blue Force Gear went all in on Multicam with this pack. It features color-matched loop, tweave, ULTRAcomp, and even zippers.
I have been using a Black Tracer Pack for the last 2 months in preparation for a full review at a later date. Stay tuned.
Radio pouches can be an exercise in frustration. The majority of them seem to be built specifically to prevent you from actually operating the radio. That doesn’t appear to be the case with the ITS 10-4 Radio Pouch. It has several interesting access, retention, and mounting features that keep your radio close at hand and usable.
From ITS:
Our ITS 10-4 Radio Pouch™ is lightweight and skeletonized, offering rapid acquisition, the ultimate in retention and multiple mounting methods for Baofeng UV-5R style radios (transceivers) with extended batteries.
The 10-4 Radio Pouch™ doesn’t impede any functional operation of your Baofeng radio, leaving buttons and ports available for use. While it’s possible that other radios on the market of similar size can be utilized with the 10-4, we can’t guarantee the fit. Please refer to the dimensions below for specifics.
Our patent-pending 4-Way Mounting System™ allows you to mount the 10-4 Radio Pouch™ vertically on a duty belt, vertically to MOLLE (PALS webbing), horizontally on a belt or even vertically on a backpack or chest rig strap. The mounting possibilities are truly unlimited.
This revolutionary pouch features four built-in levels of retention, first using the interior opening webbing base to align the radio into place. Next, the adjustable shock cord locks in the radio, while still allowing easy insertion and removal. Additionally, the integrated hook strip facilitates faster operational access and stowage, providing temporary on-the-go retention. Lastly, the durable slide release buckle provides the final retention strap for ultimate security.
Optional Retractor Combo
The ITS 10-4 Radio Pouch™ features an integrated retractor pocket, designed to hold the optional retractor/lanyard combo we offer for sale separately. Acting as a dummy cord, this retractor/lanyard combo prevents unintentional loss of your radio during removal and won’t leave unnecessary cordage hanging around. The small slide release buckle connecting the retractor to the lanyard can be disconnected for full removal from the pouch to charge your radio or hand it off to someone.
Gadsden Dynamics has adopted the UW Gear tuck tab pouch closure system. The tuck tab system will be used for the integrated medical and general purpose pouches of their line of chest rigs. Gadsden Dynamics will continue to offer their magazine pouches in their current open top configuration.
UW Gear’s pouch closure doesn’t use hook and loop or snaps. Instead, the flap is secured with a tuck tab system that is silent, robust, and easy to use.
