What are the dimensions and weight of the Tasmanian Tiger TAC Pouch Medic?
The TT TAC Pouch Medic measures 16 × 12 × 4 cm (approximately 6 × 4.7 × 1.6 inches) and weighs 145 g (5 oz). This compact format makes it one of the lighter IFAK pouches in the Tasmanian Tiger lineup while still providing a full circumferential-zip opening and customizable internal organization.
What is the difference between the Pouch Only and Pouch with Belt Holder versions?
The Pouch Only (TT-7233-040) provides just the TAC Pouch Medic without any attachment hardware beyond a basic belt loop. The Pouch with Belt Holder (TT-7233-041) includes a dedicated belt holder that provides a more secure and adjustable belt carry solution. An additional accessory, the TT Tac Pouch Holder M (Item 7234, sold separately), expands mounting to MOLLE vests, plate carriers, and other platforms.
How does the circumferential zipper on the TAC Pouch Medic work?
The circumferential zipper runs around the perimeter of the pouch, allowing the entire front panel to open completely and lie flat. This gives simultaneous, unobstructed access to all contents in a single opening motion — unlike pouches with partial-zip or top-only access where items at the bottom require digging. This design is fast and predictable under stress.
What are the variable fixation points inside the TT TAC Pouch Medic?
The variable fixation points are adjustable interior attachment positions that allow you to customize how supplies are held inside the pouch. Unlike fixed elastic loops that only work with specific item sizes, variable fixation points can be configured to secure different combinations of medical supplies — making the pouch adaptable to different loadout configurations and supply sizes.
Does the Tasmanian Tiger TAC Pouch Medic have MOLLE attachment?
The TAC Pouch Medic itself does not have built-in MOLLE webbing in the standard configurations. Belt carry is the primary intended mounting method. For MOLLE and other platform attachment, Tasmanian Tiger offers the TT Tac Pouch Holder M (Item 7234), a custom-designed holder sold separately that secures the pouch to vests, plate carriers, chest rigs, and MOLLE panels.
Q: What fits inside the TT Tac Pouch Medic?
A: At 16 × 12 × 4 cm, it fits a standard CAT or SOFTT-W tourniquet, a 4-inch compressed gauze or hemostatic gauze roll, a chest seal pair, and a nasopharyngeal airway — a complete individual first aid / blowout kit load. Medical supplies are not included.
Q: Does the zipper work with gloves?
A: Yes. The zipper is fitted with large pull tabs specifically designed for operation with tactical or cold-weather gloves. This is a deliberate design requirement for any combat medical pouch.
Q: How does the laser-cut front MOLLE work?
A: The front face of the pouch has laser-cut MOLLE slots (not sewn webbing) that accept standard MOLLE accessories. A common configuration is to mount an external tourniquet holder on the front for sub-10-second tourniquet access without opening the main compartment.
Q: Is this pouch compatible with all MOLLE systems?
A: Yes. The rear MOLLE rows conform to PALS (Pouch Attachment Ladder System) standard spacing — 1-inch vertically, 1.5-inch horizontally. This is compatible with all MOLLE/PALS surfaces including Tasmanian Tiger carriers, chest rigs, battle belts, and most third-party platforms.
Q: Is the hook-and-loop identification strip pre-labeled?
A: No. The hook-and-loop strip is blank and accepts any standard hook-backed medical patch, Red Cross identifier, blood type patch, or custom label. This allows you to configure identification per your unit's SOP.
