Product Overview

Positioned as the mid-tier option in Vanquest's FATPack line, the 5×8 (Gen-2) hits the sweet spot between the compact 4×6 and the group-capacity 7×10. At 8" × 5.5" × 3", it comfortably houses a full individual blowout kit — tourniquet, hemostatic gauze, chest seals, pressure dressing, airway adjunct, and gloves — without the bulk of a larger trauma bag.

The signature single-pull grab handle opens the FATPack in one motion, even in gloved hands, providing instant access to the four high-visibility ripstop internal pockets. External elastic holders on the front face secure a tourniquet and trauma shears for immediate one-handed access before opening the main compartment — a meaningful advantage in active casualty scenarios.

MOLLE/PALS webbing on the rear panel and sides enables secure attachment to any standard tactical platform. The front 2" × 3" loop patch panel accepts blood type, unit, or medical identifier patches. Gen-2 improvements include cylindrical item elastic holders inside and bottom pull tabs for faster one-hand closure when restocking under pressure.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What are the dimensions and weight of the Vanquest FATPack 5x8?

The FATPack 5×8 (Gen-2) measures 8" (H) × 5.5" (W) × 3" (D) externally and weighs 5.6 oz (158 g). It is sized between the compact 4×6 and the larger 7×10, making it the most popular size for individual blowout kits and personal IFAKs attached to plates carriers or packs.

Does the Vanquest FATPack 5x8 have external tourniquet holders?

Yes. The Gen-2 FATPack 5×8 features external elastic holders on the front face specifically sized for a tourniquet and trauma shears. This allows the user to access a tourniquet without opening the main compartment — a critical advantage for self-aid or buddy-aid in the first seconds of a hemorrhage emergency.

How does the FATPack 5x8 open?

The FATPack opens via a single downward pull on the sturdy formed grab handle, instantly releasing the hook-and-loop fastener and revealing the full interior. This one-motion opening works effectively even with gloved hands and is faster than traditional zipper-only pouches.

Is the Vanquest FATPack 5x8 MOLLE compatible?

Yes. The FATPack 5×8 features MOLLE/PALS webbing on the rear panel for secure attachment to plate carriers, assault vests, backpacks, and battle belts. It is also compatible with Vanquest MOLLE Sticks and the MOHL-Air Adapter Panel.

What supplies fit inside the Vanquest FATPack 5x8?

The 5×8 accommodates a complete individual IFAK: tourniquet, pressure dressing, hemostatic gauze, chest seals (twin pack), NPA airway, trauma shears, and gloves. Four internal high-visibility ripstop pockets and elastic webbing bands organize supplies by category. For larger supply loads, the FATPack 7×10 provides approximately double the depth capacity.
