Product Overview
Positioned as the mid-tier option in Vanquest's FATPack line, the 5×8 (Gen-2) hits the sweet spot between the compact 4×6 and the group-capacity 7×10. At 8" × 5.5" × 3", it comfortably houses a full individual blowout kit — tourniquet, hemostatic gauze, chest seals, pressure dressing, airway adjunct, and gloves — without the bulk of a larger trauma bag.
The signature single-pull grab handle opens the FATPack in one motion, even in gloved hands, providing instant access to the four high-visibility ripstop internal pockets. External elastic holders on the front face secure a tourniquet and trauma shears for immediate one-handed access before opening the main compartment — a meaningful advantage in active casualty scenarios.
MOLLE/PALS webbing on the rear panel and sides enables secure attachment to any standard tactical platform. The front 2" × 3" loop patch panel accepts blood type, unit, or medical identifier patches. Gen-2 improvements include cylindrical item elastic holders inside and bottom pull tabs for faster one-hand closure when restocking under pressure.
