What are the dimensions of the NAR STORM Operator IFAK Pouch?
The S.T.O.R.M. Operator IFAK Pouch measures 7.4 inches high × 6.9 inches wide × 5 inches deep. North American Rescue describes this as one of their most compact IFAK profiles — it provides meaningful storage volume while maintaining a footprint that works efficiently on a belt, leg, or vest.
What mounting options does the STORM Operator IFAK Pouch support?
The STORM Operator supports three carry configurations: drop leg rig using removable leg straps with Quick-Grip™ retention, duty belt mounting via removable belt straps, and MOLLE/PALS vest attachment for plate carriers and chest rigs. All straps are removable and can be reconfigured based on mission requirements.
What makes the STORM Operator zipper different from a standard tactical pouch?
The STORM Operator uses a sand and water resistant, self-repairing zipper with silent 550 cord pulls. The self-repairing construction resists jamming from grit and debris — a common failure point in field use. The 550 cord pulls eliminate the metallic click of standard zipper tabs, which can be audible in quiet environments.
Is the STORM Operator IFAK Pouch sold empty or with medical supplies?
The listing here is for the pouch only — sold empty. North American Rescue also offers the STORM Operator as a fully kitted IFAK with medical supplies included. The pouch-only option allows you to configure it with your own supplies or fill it using the medical components available through MED-TAC International.
What material is the NAR STORM Operator IFAK Pouch made from?
The STORM Operator is constructed from CORDURA® Nylon, the industry standard for durable tactical gear. CORDURA® resists abrasion, tearing, and scuffing significantly better than standard nylon, making it appropriate for sustained field use in austere environments.
Is the STORM Operator IFAK Pouch CoTCCC-recommended?
The pouch is a carrier, not a medical device; CoTCCC recommendations apply to the interventions and products carried within it. The STORM Pouch is designed to hold CoTCCC-recommended components in organized, rapid-access configuration.
What are the dimensions of the STORM Operator IFAK Pouch?
The STORM Pouch measures 7.4″ × 6.9″ × 5″. This accommodates the full STORM Operator IFAK loadout including tourniquet, chest seal twin pack, ARS, NPA, ETD, S-Rolled Gauze, gloves, eye shield, and casualty card.
Is the zipper system truly sand and water resistant?
Yes. The STORM Pouch features a self-repairing YKK-style zipper with sand/water-resistant construction, silent 550-cord pulls for noise discipline. Field performance should be validated in the specific operational environment; verify with NAR for current generation specifications.
What is the procurement path for the STORM Operator IFAK Pouch?
Available in Black, Olive Drab, and Coyote Tan through MED-TAC International. Contact NAR for agency pricing and GSA contract vehicle information.
Can the STORM Pouch carry an IFAK loadout other than the standard STORM kit?
Yes. The STORM Pouch dimensions accommodate any IFAK loadout that fits within 7.4 × 6.9 × 5 inches. Operators using unit-specific loadouts can use the STORM Pouch as a high-quality carrier; verify your loadout fits before operational deployment.
