REVIEW: Zentauron Micro IFAK

Small, but mighty, that's the Micro IFAK from ZENTAURON. The bag is designed to be a small first aid kit: a tourniquet and an Israeli bandage belong inside, possibly also a rescue blanket, if properly packed.

The bag initially appears quite simple. Well, no wonder. That's what it is. Its dimensions are quite narrow at approximately 15x10x6cm. On the front, there are four rows of double-looped MOLLE, with the top two rows equipped with Velcro for (narrow) name tags, IFAK patches, or the like. On the back, there are three rows, without Velcro, of course. These are used to attach to the equipment using MOLLE sticks or the like. The bag is equipped with a full zippered closure that goes around (except for three centimeters). When you open it, you'll be amazed because apart from a firmly sewn mesh fabric, you'll find: nothing.This minimalism is a really practical detail. The principle is simple: instead of providing a fixed interior layout that almost dictates to the customer what they should carry inside, they simply attach everything they desire to the inner lining, simply using rubber cord and cord stoppers or shoelaces, cable ties, thread, or whatever is at hand. An extremely clever idea to perfectly utilize the space in already small bags.

Therefore, all the small items that usually clutter the depths of your pants pockets can be easily stored there. Whether it's a flashlight, multitool, keys, tinder, lighter, and paracord, or pistol or SSG magazines, anemometer and GPS, a small first aid kit, etc. Everything can find its place there if you so desire. It stands out for map work as all the necessary utensils (compass, pens, ruler, eraser, more pens) fit ideally inside. But it also serves as an EDC bag, even if you're just wearing swim trunks.Or of course, for smaller first aid supplies like bandages, wound dressings, and plasters, but this bag and particularly the attachment system are almost too good for that.

CONCLUSION: A small, high-quality bag for daily odds and ends, or a little emergency medical equipment, a Micro IFAK.

The Micro IFAK bag is available for Euro 24.99 directly from ZENTAURON or from all retailers carrying ZENTAURON products.
