Tear-Away Speed with Essential Medical Gear In an emergency, fumbling with buckles and zippers while twisting your torso can cost valuable seconds. The Rothco Tactical Breakaway First Aid Kit is engineered to solve this problem with its rapid-response Rip-Away Design. The kit consists of a tri-fold medical pouch attached to a MOLLE platform via a heavy-duty hook-and-loop panel. When you need to treat yourself or a teammate, simply unbuckle the safety strap and rip the entire pouch off your vest or pack to work comfortably in front of you.

This kit comes Fully Stocked with over 25 essential first aid items, organizing them efficiently within the pouch's Tri-Fold Interior. The pouch features 13 Elastic Retention Straps, a zippered mesh pocket, and multiple open-top compartments to keep your bandages, sterilization supplies, and trauma gear secure and visible. Constructed from durable Denier Polyester, this kit is built to withstand the rigors of tactical operations, hiking, or vehicle storage.

Key Features

  • Rip-Away Deployment: The pouch instantly detaches from its MOLLE backing plate, allowing you to pass the kit to others or place it next to a casualty for easier access.
  • Fully Stocked: Comes pre-packed with Military Bandages, sterile pads, adhesive tape, and various antiseptics to handle field injuries.
  • Tri-Fold Organization: Opens completely flat to display all contents at once—no digging through a dark bag to find what you need.
  • MOLLE Compatible: The backing plate mounts securely to any PALS webbing system (plate carrier, battle belt, or backpack) using reinforced straps.
  • Secure Closure: Double zipper closure is reinforced by a top cinch strap with a Side Release Buckle to prevent accidental opening.
  • Identification: Includes a front Loop Field for attaching "MED" patches or blood type tags.

Why It Matters Fixed pouches force you to work blindly on your own side or back. The "Breakaway" feature is the standard for modern tactical medicine because it gives you mobility. Combined with the included supplies, this is a "grab-and-go" solution for your loadout.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the Rothco Tactical Breakaway First Aid Kit feature a rip-away design instead of a standard zipper closure?

The rip-away design allows the tri-fold pouch to detach instantly from the MOLLE loop platform with one hand, giving you immediate access to all 20+ medical supplies during critical emergencies. Unlike traditional zippered kits that require two hands and precious seconds to open, this breakaway system is engineered for first responders and tactical professionals who need split-second access to bandages, cold packs, and trauma supplies when treating injuries in the field.

Can I attach the Rothco Breakaway First Aid Kit to my existing tactical vest or backpack?

Yes, the kit features MOLLE-compatible straps that attach securely to any MOLLE webbing system on tactical vests, plate carriers, range bags, or hiking backpacks. The loop platform stays mounted to your gear while the main tri-fold pouch rips away when needed, so you can grab your medical supplies without removing the entire mounting system from your vest or pack.

How does the tri-fold organization system keep 20+ first aid items accessible during emergencies?

When opened, the tri-fold design extends to 26.75 inches and reveals 13 interior elastic straps, a zippered mesh pocket, and three open-top compartments that keep bandages, alcohol prep pads, tweezers, gloves, aspirin, and cold packs organized and visible. This layout prevents you from digging through a jumbled bag during critical moments—everything has a designated spot and unfolds in front of you for instant identification and retrieval.

What makes this first aid kit different from standard civilian emergency kits?

The Rothco Tactical Breakaway First Aid Kit is built with combat-tested denier polyester and designed for rapid deployment in high-stress tactical environments. Unlike civilian kits with basic supplies in soft cases, this IFAK (Individual First Aid Kit) combines military-grade durability, MOLLE compatibility, one-handed rip-away access, and professional-level organization—making it ideal for law enforcement, EMS personnel, military operators, and serious outdoor enthusiasts who need reliable trauma response capability.

Will the Rothco Breakaway First Aid Kit fit in a vehicle glove box or center console?

When closed, the kit measures 7.5 inches H × 6.5 inches W × 3.25 inches D, which may be too large for most standard glove boxes. However, it's perfectly sized for vehicle door pockets, center consoles in trucks/SUVs, or mounting to the back of a seat using the MOLLE straps. The top carry handle also makes it easy to grab and go during roadside emergencies or when transitioning from vehicle to field operations.
