Great, Compact Bag - Struggles with Rain
This bag looks great, and is very compact. The ability to customize the trauma panel is awesome, especially since I hated working with aid bag pockets where you need to grab something from the bottom of a pocket, and then you get an “aid-bag explosion” of stuff everywhere, made even worse by needing to pack up fast for evacuation. My only issue with the bag is dealing with rain. The bag is packed so snuggly together that after being soaked, the rubbing inside the trauma panel section tears open the soft seals of needle ds, IVs, syringes, etc, making them unusable. If only there were some barrier pieces I could use to expand the trauma panel to create little pockets of space on both halves, I could prevent that rubbing. Else wise, this is a wonderful bag.
