Does anyone have experience with the First Tactical ’large’ Jump Bag? It seems to have a few nice features — ‘infection control’ exterior, module-based interior organization, and no exterior pockets of zippers to get caught on doors (I’ll admit, this has happened to me a few times).

Do other people like interior modules (trauma, airway, etc.)? Personally I like their organization and the ability to drop my bag at the door to a patient’s room and take only what I need. For example, I dread the idea of using a Meret bag with the airway end-pouch roll-out.

Thanks,

I can see the similarities between both packs, however $430?!?!

As for that Meret kit, you can take those off the end of the bag, it's a six inch straight zipper and velcro.

True, however it’s two sets of zippers and two sets of velcro, and I can’t imagine anyone removing it for the few minutes they intubate someone and then go through the process of reinstalling it again.
 
We've got 10+ year old Conterra bags that look almost new. You get what you pay for I suppose.

I don't care for Meret stuff but really it's not a big deal to use, our city FD uses them and it's a pretty minimal hassle when "borrowing" their stuff.
 
M9 bag set up correctly will more than do the trick. That bag ain’t “Tactical “.
 
I prefer the back back style bags now that I've worked at a place with them. We use the statpack g3 perfusion and I love it.
 
Looks like a legit bag. Don't have any of their bags but do have a few items from them and it is quality stuff. Apparently an offshoot of 5.11
