The three semi-transparent vinyl mesh zippered pouches (8" × 3.25" × 2.25" each) are designed for dedicated category loading: typically one pouch per major MARCH category (Massive Hemorrhage, Airway, Circulation/wound). The content label windows (1" × 3.75") on each pouch accept standard label stock or ID tags, enabling rapid pouch identification without opening. The high-visibility orange interior confirms contents at a glance in low light.
