The New ITS TraumaQuick Rapid Access System

September 28th, 2020

Imminent Threat Solutions is proud to release the new TraumaQuick™ Rapid Access System, designed to keep your vacuum-sealed ITS ETA Trauma Kit™ ready to retrieve at a moment’s notice. The system’s dual-handled KitRetainer™ is securely stored inside the retention sleeve, but with a quick pull on either of the ambidextrous KitRetainer™ handles, the medical kit is in your hands and ready to toss to someone who needs it, or work from it yourself.

As a limited-time introductory offer, you can save 20% on the new TraumaQuick™ when you also purchase an ITS ETA Trauma Kit™. Simply add both items to your cart and use the coupon code QUICK to see the discount applied at checkout!

The TraumaQuick™ features the popular (and patent-pending) 4-Way Mounting System™ to enable its mounting to virtually anything, including backpack straps, vertically on duty belts, vertically or horizontally on standard belts, MOLLE / PALS (MALICE Clips available separately), plate carriers, or even to the back of a headrest using the ITS Universal Vehicle Mounting Platform (available separately as an add-on.)

On larger belts (like padded battle belts) you can use the same VELCRO Brand ONEWRAP® mounting straps to adhere to those that feature an inner loop liner. Yet another mounting option is to utilize these same straps to adhere to the hook and loop field of plate carrier cummerbunds.

For fast identification and rapid acquisition, the TraumaQuick™ includes an ITS Medical PVC Square Patch that adheres to a 1.5” x 1.5” loop field on the retention sleeve. Additionally, each pull-handle on the KitRetainer™ includes a small section of red VELCRO® Brand ONEWRAP® Fastener.

ePIG Group Presents: The Phanomleaf Story – Camouflage Pattern Comparison

September 27th, 2020

Our friends at ePIG Group shared this video with us. They are German and Phantomleaf is a German line of camouflage patterns, so naturally the video is in German, but it also has English subtitles.

They compare the Phantomleaf WASP II Z3A with Flecktarn, ConCamo, Multicam, Multicam Tropic, Pencott Greenzone and A-TACS Foliage Green.

This is the fourth part of a series on Phantomleaf. The links to the other videos can be found at ePIG’s Youtube channel.
