REVIEW: Helikon-Tex Pocket Med Insert

"Sorry, do you have a plaster with you?" "No, but I have my trauma kit." - Reach into the thigh pocket, the jacket, or the backpack and take out the Helikon-Tex Pocket Med Insert. Whoever wants to be prepared for the worst - a soldier in everyday life or a Gray Man traveling - always carries his IFAK with him. This bag makes it easy.

What you are holding in your hand can save lives. At the same time, it measures just 15 x 11.5 x 4 cm. Empty, it weighs less than 100 grams, filled with the weight of course depending on what is inside. You can pack this pocket insert as a first aid kit for the sports field or the mountain, we have chosen a different approach.

This is the filled Pocket Insert unfolded. Here it is simply packed as an IFAK that goes with you every day.

For example, the Israeli Bandage fits inside perfectly.

On the other side, there is Combat Gauze, gloves, and foil for protection against hypothermia.

And the nasal tube fits right in the middle.

You can fit an ID card in the field of view - or the casualty card detailing what happened and what was done. On the flap - see the cover picture - there is also a reflective medical sign sewn on.

At the back, the Helikon-Tex Pocket Med Insert has a loop for attaching scissors. And the rubberized handle helps to securely pull the bag.

Another look at the fully packed Pocket Med Insert. Instead of the tube, it can also be a pen, instead of the bandage a notepad. The small bag is extremely useful and versatile ...

Here is the IFAK in the bag. Everything you need, doesn't stand out.

CONCLUSION: Small, fine, practical. Always have the IFAK with you. The Pocket Med Insert is an extremely useful and affordable purchase for people who want to be prepared at all times.

You can get the Helikon-Tex Pocket Med Insert directly from the manufacturer or from all retailers carrying Helikon-Tex products - at CAMOSTORE and TACOPSGEAR - for around 13.40 euros.
