Phokus has introduced two new LE variants of their Sons Trauma Kit. Still designed to be stored in the plate pocket of the armor vest behind the plate, these Sons models are designated LETK -2 and LETK-3.
Contents are slightly different based on which model you select. The big difference is the inclusion of the Quick Clot sponge rather than the Combat Gauze for organizations that must use the sponge.

Have they tested these products at the range? I recall Dr Gary Roberts talking once about items, particularly hard items, behind armor becoming a secondary projectile when the armor is hit – could these end up defeating or partially defeating the soft armor behind the hard plate when hit?
We have tested these items in combat. There is no secondary frag hazard. Multiple strikes of 7.62 into the front plates and the operator conducted self-aid on a leg wound.
We welcome any test that says otherwise.
