The PLATATAC PAFA MK3 has been specifically designed and updated with the input and guidance over a number of years from SOF Medics and pre-hospital care experts, in order to provide a feature rich pack that will meet the requirements of those giving care in hostile and austere environments.
The pack features a thin profile, but is large enough to carry the necessary advanced life support items for operational medics working in confined spaces or providing tactical care away from a vehicle or in remote locations. The PAFA 3 was designed with the intent to be used as a primary aid kit and brings to the table a true user configurable option with a comprehensive array of removable internal and external pouches that can be arranged to suit end user needs.
Internal features include Velcro PALS area to configure the Velcro in & out med kit organisation set or attach additional MOLLE compatible pouches, a mesh pocket on the front flap with a Velcro loop area to further configure pouches, dual side access zippered pockets of which one contains vertical elastic loops to stow additional dressings etc.. Around the internal perimeter of the main compartment are dual elastic Cyalume loops for hands-free illumination. All internal zips feature red para cord pulls for easy ID.
External features include a large flat zippered pocket on the front, PALS fields on the front, sides and bottom of the pack. Two MOLLE compatible vertical utility pouches are mounted on the sides, a horizontally mounted utility pouch on the bottom of the pack and a pair of low profile shoulder straps.
