Vanquest FATPack Medical Pouch - 4” x 6”

The FATPack 4×6 (Gen-2) is Vanquest’s most compact First Aid Trauma Pack, measuring 6” (H) × 4.5” (W) × 3” (D) and weighing 4.6 oz. A single downward pull on the formed grab handle opens the hook-and-loop fastener and YKK zipper simultaneously, providing immediate access to four internal high-visibility ripstop pockets with elastic retention. Designed as a standalone IFAK, blowout kit, or MOLLE-attached supplemental trauma pouch, it carries a tourniquet, chest seal, pressure bandage, and airway adjunct within a footprint smaller than most belt holsters.

Trusted by first responders, military medics, and tactical operators. The FATPack 4×6’s MOLLE/PALS rear webbing, MOHL-Air adapter compatibility, and shoulder strap option allow it to mount to a plate carrier, backpack, belt, or crossbody carry rig — giving any operator a viable trauma kit with no footprint compromise.

Who Uses This & When

• Military combatants & SOF — worn on plate carrier as a dedicated IFAK staging a CAT tourniquet, chest seal, and hemostatic dressing in a defined, accessible position
• Law enforcement officers — MOLLE-attached to duty belt or vest for a blowout kit that does not interfere with handgun or magazine carry
• EMS & fire — clipped to gear bag or worn as a supplemental trauma pouch during mass casualty response where main kit may not be immediately accessible
• Wilderness hikers & backcountry guides — shoulder-strap carry or pack attachment for a compact trauma kit covering arterial bleeds and pneumothorax in remote terrain
• Prepared civilians & CCW carriers — stored in vehicle, range bag, or EDC pack for a minimal-footprint trauma kit that supports immediate bystander intervention

• Two external elastic slots per side for tourniquet or shear staging; includes two 4” AnchorWrap hook-and-loop anchors

How It Compares

Generic IFAK pouches at this size typically offer a single compartment with no internal organization, forcing operators to rummage under pressure. The FATPack 4×6 provides four discrete high-visibility pockets, an elastic cord ladder, and cylindrical item slots that let a practitioner locate any supply by position rather than by sight. The inclusion of AnchorWraps, external tourniquet slots, and a red grab handle for one-motion opening positions the FATPack 4×6 as a mission-ready IFAK rather than a repurposed general pouch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which tourniquets fit the external elastic slots of the FATPack 4×6?

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 TQ.

What materials and construction methods ensure field durability?

The FATPack 4×6 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” Universal Shoulder Strap enables standalone shoulder or crossbody carry. Without accessories, the pouch lays flat inside a bag or container and opens fully with a single downward pull on the grab handle.
