What are the dimensions and weight of the Vanquest FATPack-Pro SMALL A-Side Insert?
The SMALL A-Side Insert measures 11.5" H × 5" W and weighs approximately 0.15 lbs (68 grams). This compact form factor is optimized for smaller bags, IFAK-size pouches, sling packs, or any loop-lined compartment where the LARGE insert's footprint would be too wide.
What items fit in the FATPack-Pro SMALL Insert's elastic loops?
The three 4.75" medium elastic loops are sized for: emergency trauma dressings, burn dressings, compact chest seals (e.g., HyFin Vent Compact, SAM Chest Seal), small splints, wound irrigation kits, and similar flat-pack medical items commonly included in IFAK configurations. The wide elastic webbing provides secure retention with fast one-handed extraction.
Can the SMALL Insert be used outside of a bag as a stand-alone panel?
Yes. The tear-away hook backing allows the insert to be removed from the bag and deployed as a stand-alone surface — laid flat during patient treatment to keep supplies organized and off the ground. It can also be transferred to a different loop-lined bag or surface as needed, making it a versatile cross-platform organization tool.
What is the difference between the SMALL and LARGE FATPack-Pro Inserts?
The SMALL (SKU: 90FPP-SA01-OR) measures 11.5" × 5" and has 3 medium loops (4.75" W), weighing 68 g. The LARGE (SKU: 90FPP-LA01-OR) is larger and includes 2 large loops (7.5" W) for bigger items plus 4 medium loops (4.5" W). The SMALL is suited for compact carry platforms; the LARGE for backpacks and larger aid bags requiring greater organizational capacity.
Does the FATPack-Pro SMALL Insert attach to non-Vanquest bags?
Yes. The hook backing is compatible with any loop-lined bag surface, regardless of manufacturer. This makes the insert a universal upgrade for loop-lined tactical bags, EMS packs, backpacks, and pouches from any brand. The secondary rear attachment hooks provide additional anchoring on surfaces with standard loop panels.
What packs is the FATPack-Pro SMALL A-Side Insert (SA01) compatible with?
The SA01 attaches to any loop-lined (hook-and-loop loop surface) interior. It is the factory A-Side Insert for the FATPack-Pro SMALL and is compatible with any Vanquest pack featuring a loop-lined main compartment, as well as third-party loop-lined bags. Interior dimensions must accommodate 11.5" (H) × 5" (W). It is not sized for the FATPack-Pro LARGE, which uses the larger LA01 (13" H × 6" W).
What material is the SA01 made from?
The SA01 uses 210-D Ripstop nylon with DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating in high-visibility orange, providing moisture resistance and immediate visual identification of staged items. Elastic retention bands are 3"-wide, and all stitching is high-tensile-strength bonded nylon thread with Bartack and Box-and-X reinforcement for durability through repeated tear-away cycles.
Which TCCC supplies should be staged on the SA01 for a standard MARCH loadout?
For a CoTCCC-recommended Massive Hemorrhage / Airway forward loadout in the FATPack-Pro SMALL, the three SA01 elastic loops typically stage: loop 1 — a CAT or SOFTT-W tourniquet (folded flat), loop 2 — a compact chest seal (e.g., HyFin Vent Compact), and loop 3 — hemostatic gauze or a trauma pad. These represent the most immediately needed items during Care Under Fire (CUF) and can be grabbed in a single motion without opening any zipper or pouch.
