The motivation behind the Flat IFAK was to replace that larger issued IFAK every soldier gets, the giant football-shaped piece of gear making you lean to one side in a helo or a vehicle. The user has a flat back profile when sitting in a vehicle or a helicopter using the Viper IFAK. Minimal space and weight, maximum comfort and utility. The cutting edge of tactical design. The Flat IFAK allows ambidextrous (left or right handed) deployment of the Individual First Aid Kit. It is pulled out of the carrier via the handles on either side. Once deployed the kit may then be temporarily closed using the cinch string and hung around the neck or stuffed quickly into a cargo pocket, allowing weapons usage or to free up the users hands for extraction/movement of the patient. Moving the IFAK position from the warrior's front or side position to the soldier's back gives the soldier wearing this new IFAK three important advantages: 1) Utilizes the dead space below the plate carrier on the soldier's back 2) Removes ambiguity of the soldier's life-saving equipment. Is it located on the left or right side of his body? 3) The soldier can now carry much more needed gear like extra mags, frags, and mission items where the soldier needs them the most, up front or on his sides. Quickly stowed or hung around the neck when treatment is interrupted by the need for quick evacuation or position being compromised while treating the wounded. When stowed in cover case, Flat IFAK is the same shallow depth as the BLOCS Gen III plate carrier. Snug in dispenser case, will not dispense without sufficient force by the operator. NOTE: Coyote color is now the same as Tan 499, a slightly more gray color that is made to better blend with Multicam. |
