Vanquest FATPack-Pro SMALL B-Side Insert

The Vanquest FATPack-Pro SMALL B-Side Insert (SB01) is a tear-away hook-and-loop organizer insert measuring 12" (H) × 8.5" (W) and weighing 7.8 oz (222 grams). Three semi-transparent vinyl mesh zippered pouches (8" W × 3.25" H × 2.25" D) with content label windows provide enclosed, category-specific storage for medical or EDC supplies. It attaches to any loop-lined surface and removes in a single pull, allowing rapid transfer between packs or standalone deployment.

Trusted by first responders, military medics, and tactical operators. The SB01 B-Side Insert is the enclosed-storage half of the FATPack-Pro SMALL organization system, designed for injury-specific category loading — hemorrhage control, airway, and circulation — where enclosed pouches prevent item loss during rough handling or pack inversion.

Who Uses This & When

• FATPack-Pro SMALL users: Replaces or supplements the factory SB01 panel when reconfiguring the pack for a new mission set or replacing a worn insert.
• Tactical medics building modular kits: Transfers the entire loaded SB01 from the FATPack-Pro SMALL to another loop-lined pack, maintaining category organization across multiple bag configurations.
• EMS providers with multiple bag systems: The tear-away format allows a pre-loaded insert to move from a station bag to a jump bag or apparatus pack without repacking individual items.
• TCCC course instructors: Pre-loads course-specific supply sets per injury station and transfers loaded inserts between training packs between iterations.
• Wilderness medicine practitioners: Organizes enclosed wound care, medication, and patient assessment supplies in semi-transparent mesh pouches for field identification without opening each compartment.

How It Compares

Fixed sewn-in internal pouches on budget tactical medical bags offer no reconfigurability — once staged, the organization is permanent. The SB01 tear-away insert lets an operator pre-configure injury-specific category loads offline, then attach the entire loaded panel to any loop-lined pack in seconds. The semi-transparent vinyl mesh construction provides immediate visual inventory without opening pouches, and the YKK RC-Class zippers with Spartan pulls handle gloved operation better than standard exposed-pull designs on most competing organizers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What packs is the SB01 SMALL B-Side Insert compatible with?

The SB01 attaches to any loop-lined (hook-and-loop female/loop surface) compartment. It ships as the B-Side Insert in the FATPack-Pro SMALL but is also compatible with any Vanquest pack with a loop-lined interior, including the JAVELIN, TRIDENT, and KATARA series, as well as any third-party loop-lined bags. Verify interior dimensions accommodate 12" (H) × 8.5" (W) before purchase.

Are the vinyl mesh pouches on the SB01 waterproof?

The vinyl mesh laminate is moisture resistant and easy to wipe clean but is not fully waterproof. The 210-D Ripstop nylon backing carries a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating. For extended wet-weather operations, contents should be packed in individual sealed bags if waterproofing is critical.

How does the SB01 compare to the LB01 B-Side Insert for the LARGE pack?

The SB01 measures 12" (H) × 8.5" (W) with three pouches at 8" W × 3.25" H × 2.25" D and weighs 7.8 oz. The LB01 measures 13.5" (H) × 9.5" (W) with three larger pouches at 8.5" W × 3.75" H × 2.25" D and weighs 8.6 oz. The SB01 is designed for the FATPack-Pro SMALL; the LB01 for the FATPack-Pro LARGE. Both are available as standalone accessories for any loop-lined pack.
