I wanted to try these out as some shooter gloves that wouldn't blow the budget. They are similar to the original mechanix gloves with added external rubber sections to assist in top of the hand impact protection.

There are a decent amount of cool guy medical pouches these days so what sets this one apart is the compact design. Rather than being GP pouch shape, this blow out pouch is mostly vertical with some controllable thickness. The design is offered raw for those who want to customize the medical gear or ready to go which I show here. This includes:
1 x CAT Combat Application Tourniquet
1 x FCP-02 6" Military Personal Field Dressing
1 x QuikClot 1st Response .875-ounce (25g) hemostatic sponge
The Kodiak is basically a big version of the Sitka, so check out the review above if you get lost here. As a starting note, I took off the Y-strap as shown in my pictures. Fans of this strap need not worry as it is included. For those running out of room on the Stika, Mister Kodiak here doesn't mess around with almost double the cubic inch capacity. Features wise almost everything is the same, done bigger, until you get to the interior.
Maxpedition has all the major tactical colors covered, but have recently started to offer some interesting mixes. Some include: Khaki / Foliage, Black / Foliage, Black / Khaki, and Orange / Foliage. As a sneak peak I believe I even saw a Blue / Foliage at shotshow. I personally really like the Khaki / Foliage where the colors appear to blend with each other. The black mixes also look pretty tough and Woa! man is the Orange series easy to see. Rescue folks and hunters will likely appreciate the hi-viz.

DIMS: 8” high x 12” wide x 2” thick
I splurged for the big version here, but note an 8"x10" version is also available. This pistol case is a straightforward, but solid design. The exterior front has loop velcro area and a generally clean back with extra D-rings for optional shoulder straps. Substantial handles are integrated with padding in the grip area.
DIMS: Approx 5” wide x 5.25” high x 1.5” thick
This pouch isn't super special design wise, but makes for a good low profile accessory pouch. For funzies there is a nice loop velcro area on the front flap and the flap itself uses velcro closure for quick access. 3" of PALS rows are on the back for usage with 3" TacTies or short MALICE clips. The main intent is to hold 2 standard handcuffs which it does well.
DIMS: 8” wide x 5” high x 2.5” thick
It appears Maxpedition makes sure to spell this pouch out since the abbreviation ends up amusingly as I-FAP. That aside, it is a nice slim first aid pouch. Most of the pouch is made of 420D nylon to give more flexibility and some weight reduction.
Dimensions:
Overall size 22” long x 14” wide x 9” high (45 linear inches)
Main compartment approx 21” x 13” x 8” with tie down strap
Top exterior sleeve pocket 10” x 6”
Internal mesh pockets 10” x 5” x 2” (two)
External slip pockets 14” x 4” (two)
Approximate Capacity: 2380 cu. in.
Maxpedition keeps em coming with further development in the popular gearslinger series. The Sitka first comes off to me as an evolution of mixing Typhoon and Lunada concepts. The result is a single strap smaller sized backpack that can be easily accessed when shifted from back to frontal position. Features are certainly abundant so I'll try not to bore you out going overkill with detail.
I like to help out the little businesses out there when I can so wanted to spread the word about this cost effective belt. Construction is minimal using mil-spec materials. The base is MIL-W-4088 type VII webbing (about 1.75" wide) that is sewn down in a serious way and the buckle is a classic rigger belt style rated for 2500 lbs. The lengths typically come long so you can easily cut and burn as desired.
Clearly it can hold up your pants, but when it comes down to a crap situation it has the capability to save your life as well. <wildland ebay store>
