The first aid kit was carefully made. It is equipped with a spacious zipper, which makes it easier to close a full kit. The internal organization could be better, but all the necessary items fit without any trouble.
Constructed from Cordura 560, this first aid kit is designed in MAPA camouflage. It features a laser-cut MOLLE attachment system, enabling the kit to be securely fastened to a belt, backpack, or tactical vest.
The first aid kit is accessible through a convenient two-way YKK zipper, and the entire unit can be additionally secured with a snap buckle strap. Inside, two pockets and elastic straps facilitate organized and stable storage of the contents.
On the front, a small velcro panel with a cross is featured.
The MAPA camouflage pattern was crafted by Maciej Dojlitko, a graduate and currently a researcher at the Faculty of Architecture and Design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk. He is also the author of Theory of Deconstruction of Visual Communication: Tools for Designing Military Camouflage (Gdansk 2015). This groundbreaking design, backed by theoretical and experimental validations including computer analysis of thousands of terrain photographs, garnered attention from specialists and military apparel manufacturers. In 2017, MAPA camouflage debuted at the International Defense Industry Exhibition in Kielce as the pattern for the Dromader armor and uniform system by Maskpol, part of the Polish Armament Group. Although this system was developed for the Territorial Defense Army, the MAPA camouflage has also been considered as a potential replacement for the wz.93 in the entire Polish Armed Forces. However, it has not been adopted as the official camouflage of the Polish Army yet.
Highlights of the MAPA camouflage in its basic forest version:
- 6 colors forming layers reminiscent of terrain levels on a map,
- colors optimized for operations in Central European forests,
- the use of three-dimensional illusion and anamorphic effect,
- biomorphic shapes that emulate natural vegetation,
- contrasting elements that mimic light and shadow,
- silhouette distortion through a macro pattern,
- color noise replicated with a micro pattern.
The MAPA pattern presents an intriguing alternative to contemporary camouflage patterns like PenCott, MultiCam, Kryptek, Flecktarn, or Finnish M/05. In certain aspects, it surpasses them by better replicating the colors prevalent in Central European forests from late spring to early fall.

The first aid kit is solidly constructed. The large zipper makes it easy to close, even when it's completely stuffed. The interior could be better organized, but despite that, all the contents fit without any problem.
-
The first aid kit stands out with an interesting MAPA camouflage and solid, durable material. It is well made. The interior could be better organized, as the current layout significantly limits configuration options. All the elastic bands for the equipment are the same size, and there's no holder for scissors. Overall, it's a positive review, but a few elements need improvement. Nobody is perfect – there is always room for improvement.

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 both to a belt and a backpack. It would be nice if there was an option to buy an additional mounting panel.
-
The rip-away first aid kit is very well 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 pictures. I recommend it with a clear conscience.
-
The first aid kit is really good. The compartments inside are arranged in a convenient way. A nice feature is the cover for the red cross symbol, which makes it easier to camouflage if needed.

The material, stitching, and camouflage are without reservations. However, I see two major and two minor downsides: no option for horizontal molle mounting and no molle loops for attaching a tourniquet, scissors, or a pouch for nitrile gloves. The elastic bands are only one size—more sizes would help organize things like tweezers or a mirror. Another drawback is the lack of a quick-release handle on the other side of the kit. I believe Velcro and a paracord loop, which is easier to grab with gloves, would be better than a buckle.

The first aid kit has many advantages, but also one serious downside. The downside is the not-so-well-thought-out mounting system – it's designed to fit a bit of everything, which personally doesn't suit me. The elastic bands for the equipment are all the same size, which doesn't seem very practical. On the plus side, it has a solid build, durable material, a clever way to hide the red cross with Velcro, a sturdy zipper, suitable dimensions, and capacity. The only good thing about the mounting system is the ability to attach it to a vest with Velcro.

It would be perfect if it was just a little bit bigger! Still, it's a great product!
