The Standard for Rapid Response Medical Gear In a trauma situation, you cannot afford to be fumbling with zippers on your back or twisting awkwardly to reach your gear. The Rothco Tactical Breakaway Pouch is engineered to solve this problem. Featuring a unique Rip-Away Design, the main pouch is attached to a MOLLE platform via a heavy-duty Hook & Loop (Velcro) panel. When an emergency strikes, simply unbuckle the safety strap and rip the entire pouch off your vest or pack. This allows you to place the kit directly next to the patient—or yourself—for immediate, unobstructed access to life-saving supplies.
Once deployed, the pouch utilizes a Tri-Fold Design that opens completely flat, revealing a comprehensive organizer. With 13 Internal Elastic Straps, three open-top pockets, and a zippered mesh compartment, you can secure everything from tourniquets and Israeli bandages to decompression needles and airways. Constructed from durable 600 Denier Polyester, this pouch is built to survive the rigors of combat, patrol, or the backcountry.
Key Features
- Breakaway Platform: The pouch detaches instantly from its MOLLE backing plate, allowing you to pass the kit to a teammate or work comfortably on a casualty.
- Tri-Fold Organization: Opens flat like a book to display all contents at once—no digging required.
- Massive Capacity: Features 13 elastic loops and 3 internal pockets to segregate hemorrhage control, airway, and minor aid supplies.
- MOLLE Compatible: The backing plate mounts securely to any PALS webbing system (plate carrier, battle belt, or backpack) using two snap-strap loops.
- Secure Closure: Double zipper closure is reinforced by a top strap with a Side Release Buckle to prevent accidental opening or loss during movement.
- Identification: Includes a front Loop Field for attaching "MED" patches or blood type tags.
Why It Matters Fixed medical pouches are a liability. If you are wounded, you may not be able to reach a pouch sewn onto your side or back. A "Breakaway" pouch ensures that you can always bring the gear to the workspace, making it the preferred design for modern tactical IFAKs.
