Vanquest FATPack-Pro LARGE A-Side Insert

The Vanquest FATPack-Pro LARGE A-Side Insert (LA01) is a tear-away hook-and-loop elastic loop organizer measuring 13" (H) × 6" (W) and weighing 3.5 oz (98 grams). Two 7.5"-wide large elastic loops and four 4.5"-wide medium elastic loops — all over high-visibility orange 210-D Ripstop nylon — provide rapid-access, open-face staging for full-size chest seals, pocket BVMs, emergency blankets, tourniquets, and trauma pads. Rear hook panels attach to any loop-lined surface; the insert tears away in a single pull for transfer or standalone deployment.

Trusted by first responders, military medics, and tactical operators. The LA01 is the rapid-access half of the FATPack-Pro LARGE organization system — purpose-built for items that must be reached in one motion under stress, including the full range of CoTCCC-recommended hemorrhage control and airway management supplies at the large format.

Who Uses This & When

• FATPack-Pro LARGE users: The LA01 is the factory A-Side Insert; additional units allow maintaining mission-specific open-face loadouts that transfer between the FATPack-Pro LARGE and other loop-lined packs.
• Combat medics & 18D SOF: Stages full-size chest seals, HyFin vents, tourniquet sets, and hemostatic gauze in dedicated loops for immediate one-motion access during CUF and TCCC patient care.
• MCI staging positions: Pre-loaded LA01 inserts provide identical supply staging across multiple staging positions; operators transfer loaded inserts to fresh bags as supplies are consumed.
• EMS & fire medical directors: Attaches to loop-lined apparatus bags, medical caches, or treatment area surfaces to stage frequently accessed hemorrhage control supplies for immediate deployment.
• Wilderness expedition leaders: Stages full-size emergency blankets, pocket BVMs, and large trauma pads — items that require the 7.5" loops — in a single accessible location at the A-side of any loop-lined pack.

Key Features

• Elastic retention: Two 7.5" large loops for full-size chest seals, pocket BVMs, and emergency blankets; four 4.5" medium loops for CAT tourniquets, hemostatic gauze, trauma pads, and similar items.
• Visibility: High-visibility orange 210-D Ripstop nylon backer with DWR coating; open-face format allows full visual inventory in one glance without moving any items.
• Attachment: Rear hook panels attach to any loop-lined surface; tear-away format allows transfer between packs or deployment as a standalone organizer in under five seconds.
• Material: 210-D Ripstop nylon with DWR coating (hi-visibility, lightweight, moisture resistant); wide elastic webbing (2" and 3"); high tensile strength bonded nylon thread; Bartack and Box-and-X stitching.
• Compatibility: Designed for FATPack-Pro LARGE but compatible with any loop-lined surface accommodating 13" (H) × 6" (W).

How It Compares

Most elastic loop organizers on the market use a single size elastic band in a fixed grid pattern. The LA01 provides two distinct elastic loop widths — 7.5" for large items and 4.5" for medium items — on the same panel, eliminating the need for multiple panels to stage supplies of different sizes. The high-visibility orange ripstop backer ensures immediate open-face identification of all staged items, a significant operational advantage over black-interior competitors in low-light or night environments. The tear-away format and rear hook backing are design choices that allow mission reconfiguration in seconds without repacking.

Frequently Asked Questions

What items fit in the LA01 elastic loops?

The two 7.5" large loops (2"-wide elastic bands) accommodate full-size chest seals (HyFin Chest Seal, flat-packed), pocket bag valve masks, large combat gauze rolls, and folded emergency blankets. The four 4.5" medium loops (3"-wide elastic bands) hold CAT or SOFTT-W tourniquets, hemostatic gauze (compressed), trauma pads, Israeli bandages, and similar items. Both loop sizes are designed for items that must be grabbed in a single motion without unzipping.

What packs is the LA01 LARGE A-Side Insert compatible with?

The LA01 attaches to any loop-lined (female hook-and-loop) surface. It ships as the A-Side Insert in the FATPack-Pro LARGE and is also compatible with any Vanquest pack featuring a loop-lined interior, as well as any third-party loop-lined bag. Interior dimensions must accommodate 13" (H) × 6" (W). It is not compatible with the FATPack-Pro SMALL interior, which uses the smaller SA01 (11.5" H × 5" W).

How does the LA01 differ from the SA01 Small A-Side Insert?

The LA01 (13" H × 6" W, 3.5 oz) features two 7.5" large loops and four 4.5" medium loops, sized for full-size chest seals, pocket BVMs, and emergency blankets alongside standard TCCC supplies. The SA01 (11.5" H × 5" W, 2.3 oz) has three 4.75" medium loops for compact items only. The LA01 is designed for the FATPack-Pro LARGE; the SA01 for the FATPack-Pro SMALL.
