The first aid kit has been carefully made. It is equipped with a roomy zip which makes it easier to close a full first aid kit. The internal organisation could be better, but all the necessary items fit without difficulty.

Made of Cordura 560, the first aid kit rips in MAPA camouflage. Equipped with a laser-cut MOLLE mounting system that allows the first aid kit to be attached to a belt, backpack or tactical vest.
The first aid kit opens with a convenient two-way YKK zipper. The whole thing can be further secured with a snap buckle strap. Inside there are two pockets and elastic straps, allowing the contents to be organized and stable in the first aid kit.
A small velcro panel with a cross was placed on the front.
The camouflage pattern MAPA was designed by Maciej Dojlitko, a graduate and currently a researcher at the Faculty of Architecture and Design of the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk, author of, among other publications, Theory of Deconstruction of Visual Communication. Tools for designing military camouflage (Gdansk 2015). The innovative design, supported by convincing theoretical and experimental arguments, including computer analysis of thousands of photographs of the terrain, attracted the attention of specialists and military clothing manufacturers. In 2017, the MAPA camouflage made its debut at the International Defense Industry Exhibition in Kielce as a camouflage pattern for the Dromader system of armor and uniforms from Maskpol, which is part of the Polish Armament Group. The system was created for soldiers of the Territorial Defense Army, but the MAPA camouflage itself was also considered as a perspective pattern for the entire Polish Armed Forces, where it could replace the wz.93 camouflage. Unfortunately, the MAPA camouflage has not been implemented as an official camouflage pattern of the Polish Army to date.
Highlights of the MAPA camouflage in the basic forest variant:
- 6 colors that form layers resembling levels on a map,
- colors optimized for operations in the forests of Central Europe,
- use of the illusion of three-dimensionality and anamorphosis effect,
- biomorphic shapes making the design similar to vegetation,
- strongly contrasting elements imitating flashes of light and shadows,
- deformation of the masked silhouette using macro pattern,
- color noise reproduced by means of a micro pattern.
The MAPA pattern is an interesting alternative to the best contemporary camouflage patterns such as PenCott, MultiCam, Kryptek, Flecktarn or Finnish M/05. In some respects, it is more advanced than them, and better reproduces the colors found in Central European forests in the period from later spring to early autumn.

The first aid kit is well made. The large zip makes it easy to close, even when it is fully packed. The interior could be better organised, but nevertheless all the contents fit without any problem.
-
The first aid kit stands out with an interesting MAPA camouflage and decent, durable material. It is well-made. The interior could be better organised, as the current layout limits configuration options. All the elastic loops are the same size and there is no holder for scissors. Overall, a positive review, but a few elements need improvement. Nobody is perfect – there’s always room to improve.

The first aid kit surprises with its capacity and durability. I have been using it for over two years and nothing bad has happened to it. The panel can be attached to both a belt and a backpack. It would be nice if there was an option to buy an additional mounting panel.
-
The tear-off first aid kit is very solidly made. I have been using it on my tactical belt for a long time and I am very satisfied with it. It is spacious and durable. The MAPA camouflage looks much better in person than in the photos. I can recommend it with a clear conscience.
-
The first aid kit is really good. The compartments inside are conveniently organised. A nice feature is the cover for the red cross symbol, which makes it easier to camouflage when needed.
-
The material, stitching, and camouflage are flawless. However, I see two major and two minor drawbacks: there is no option for horizontal molle mounting and no molle loops to attach a tourniquet, scissors, or a pocket for nitrile gloves. The elastic bands are only one size – more sizes would make organizing things like tweezers or a mirror easier. Another disadvantage is the lack of a quick-release handle on the other side of the first aid kit. I think Velcro and a paracord loop would be better than a buckle, as it would be easier to grip with gloves.
-
The first aid kit has many advantages, but also one major drawback. The downside is the not very well thought-out mounting system – it’s designed for a bit of everything, which personally doesn’t suit me. The elastic bands for equipment are all the same size, which seems impractical. On the plus side, there’s solid construction, durable material, a clever way of hiding the red cross with a Velcro strip, a sturdy zip, good size and capacity. The only benefit I see in the mounting system is the ability to attach it to a vest with Velcro.

It would be perfect if it were a bit bigger! Nevertheless, it's a great item!
