What are the dimensions and weight of the Vanquest FATPack 4x6?
The FATPack 4x6 (Gen-2) measures 6" (H) x 4.5" (W) x 3" (D) and weighs just 4.6 oz (130 g). It is the smallest and lightest in the FATPack series, designed for operators who need a minimal-profile personal IFAK.
Does the FATPack 4x6 have external tourniquet holders?
Yes. The Gen-2 FATPack 4x6 added external elastic slots on both sides that secure a tourniquet or trauma shears for immediate access before the main compartment is opened.
What can fit inside the Vanquest FATPack 4x6?
The 4x6 can hold a core hemorrhage control IFAK: one tourniquet (in the external slot), hemostatic gauze, a 4" pressure dressing, trauma gloves, and small airway items. Four internal high-visibility ripstop pockets and elastic webbing bands keep items organized.
Is the Vanquest FATPack 4x6 MOLLE compatible?
Yes. The FATPack 4x6 features MOLLE/PALS webbing on the rear panel for attachment to plate carriers, vests, packs, and battle belts.
When should I choose the FATPack 4x6 over the 5x8 or 7x10?
Choose the 4x6 for a minimal personal IFAK where weight and vest profile are top priorities. Choose the 5x8 when you need a full individual blowout kit with airway and chest seal capacity. Choose the 7x10 for vehicle, group, or multi-patient trauma kit needs.
Which tourniquets fit the external elastic slots of the FATPack 4x6?
The external elastic slots accommodate the CAT Gen 7, SOF-T Wide, and similar-profile CoTCCC-recommended tourniquets. They are designed for quick-draw staging, not permanent retention; confirm fit before field deployment with your specific tourniquet.
What materials and construction methods ensure field durability?
The FATPack 4x6 uses 500-D Military-grade Cordura nylon 66 with DWR coating on the exterior and 210-D Ripstop nylon on the interior. YKK RC-Class lockable zippers are reversed for pull-tab protection. Seams are reinforced with Bartack and Box-and-X stitching using high-tensile bonded nylon thread.
Can this pouch function as a vehicle or range-bag kit without MOLLE attachment?
Yes. The optional MOHL-Air Adapter Panel converts the rear for hook-and-loop surface attachment, and the optional 1 inch Universal Shoulder Strap enables standalone shoulder or crossbody carry. Without accessories, the pouch opens fully with a single downward pull on the grab handle.
