MAXPEDITION FR-1 Combat Medical Pouch

I am in love with this Maxpedition pouch. I purchased this as a first aid kit for my car. It's construction is fantastic and it can hold a lot of gear. I purchased the extra shoulder strap to go with it, so it makes a great grab and go bag if need be. I love the clamshell opening and the fact that is not too big. It fits perfectly in my glove compartment. I have even purchased a second to use as my day hike survival kit.

While I have heard some quarters have weird stories about Maxpedition managment, you CANNOT dispute the quality of their products. This one is no exception. Bomb proof. If there is anything to be aware of with these products, it's that they tend to appear smaller in person than I envision -- so watch your measurements closely -- and they ARE pricey. That said, I have never had to replace or repair anything with the Maxpedition logo on it.

I was looking for a pouch to organize a first aid kit to throw in a backpack to take to the beach, sporting events, and anywhere else it ended up. Always had good luck with Maxpedition products and this was no different. The stitching looks great as they always do. As you can see from the pictures I’ve got it packed pretty full with a mix of Trauma and boo-boo items. The mix of straps, pockets, and zippers make keeping everything organized a breeze. It was exactly what I was looking for and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to a friend.

Small and compact. Rugged and has a "stiff" structure (it will not collapse/fold). I won't tell you what I put in it, but I was able to pack some sensitive electronics along with some other B.O.B. stuff.

I purchased this in red to make it more noticeable when I go for it in my pack compared to similar storage pouches that I own. It's a good size and has some creative ways to store items. You will undoubtedly have to test it out in different configurations to find out what works best for maximizing storage. I use mine for trauma (tourniquet, quickclot, etc...) and small wounds. I've also included different gauze and wraps for what space I have left over. It's a good 1-3 day assault pack first aid storage option. I don't like carrying any less, even for a one day outing, but it fills up quick. The quality in the construction of this pouch is about as good as it gets. I feel Maxpedition is a top five manufacturer in this area.

Very well made and convenient to use.

Awesome little pouch. Set this up as my mini trauma kit for the truck. Fits a tourniquet, gloves, quick clot, gauze, tape, scissors, etc. Put a Velcro red cross patch in the outside with a glass breaker and seat belt cutter and now I'm a little more prepared for worst case scenarios.

this is the first maxpedition i've purchased made in vietnam. i won't buy maxpedition again. you forgot we still have mia's. also of note: the maxpedition tag did not say hard use gear. makes me wonder if it's really maxpedition.
