Medical – Tourniquets & IFAK
Snakestaff Systems – Small tourniquets that are made for daily carry. I like having a few so that there’s always one in my pants pocket, shoulder bag, and some even attached to rifle slings. They also make really small IFAKs too (Individual First Aid Kits).
Armor & Plate Carriers
If you want a chest rig and plate carrier with armor, or need a backpack that looks normal on the outside but has armor inside, here’s some good options at various price points.
- Haley Strategic sells the best chest rigs and plate carriers, and also sells armor for those items. They even offer backpacks with armor too. All of these items work together, or as parts individually (chest rig, plate carrier, backpack, armor.)
- Spartan Armor – If you want to get started and also want to save money, at least get a Haley chest rig, but then get your plate carrier and armor from Spartan. They offer a number of setups at different price points, making it a great way to try things first and see what you like before spending more. They even have backpack armor in generic sizes that you can add to almost any bag.
- Vertx – For backpacks that look normal on the outside, but are armored and set up well inside for guns, med kits, etc., check out the sling bags and such from. Because of the unique sizing and shapes of these bags, you’ll need armor that’s custom made for these bags, and that’s available from Premiere Armor.
