I have some observations. I have been using the PIMP since it was released. I actually was on the wait list. I've got a couple months under the belt training with it. First, I like the concept and I think it works on the whole; I honestly REALLY love the design and it's easy to grab kit deal with immediate medical trauma. Second, issues have to be addressed, mainly, securing medical instruments. I lost a $65 set of trauma sheers because the little velcro tab opened up on an operation. Even that little tab was very difficult to open/secure for medical use if you required sheers; it was just too small. The "burrito" tends to slide out if you don't synch it way down. Lastly, I like the idea of velcro to secure equipment positionally on the waistline, but, it fails miserably. I say this because I don't think there are enough "stiff" hook-loop fabric that can supplant the plastic MOLLE-sticks. Man, if there were, I loved being able to move magazines and such between the MOLLE loops, but, they failed in non-permissive environments. If anyone has a link, I'd love to see it. All in all, I really liked the PIMP, but it really needs some help to secure devices to equipment that constantly moves around.
Imagine this: the elastic strip you have there looks to be approximately 3” width. Add another elastic strip directly over that 3” one, but make the second one 2” width and then a third and final layer of elastic measuring 1” width. This way, you could mitigate the potential of inadvertently removing components that are not needed at that time. Would two more layers of elastic make the overall design too thick?
Thoughts on different color med pouch then the belt? Curious your thoughts on having it stand out. I have a black belt and deciding on whether I should get a different color pouch.
Depends on mission. For most military applications, there's a reason we wear camouflage. Uniformity in subdued and camouflaged equipment can be potentially lifesaving for military applications. For civilians who aren't planning on hiding, or law enforcement? Bright colored IFAKs that are differentiated from the rest of their kit are a great idea.

Thank God it's not SIMP setup. 😅
Very intuitive design, honestly my favorite med kit design on the market as of right now. Good shit!
If you put a piece of card against the hook side of your one wrap when running it through the webbing it makes it much much easier
Alotta thought put into it and looks pimpin😂🤙
Love mine. Good stuff
Great product amigo.
That tan line boy!

Hemostats. They're handy for so many things but ESPECIALLY for threading such things.

That's not a bad call. If you don't have any requirements for colors due to policy or uniformity.

I use the one-wrap on everything that I can.
