This is a really good unit and I like the new and improved design with the convenient storage pouch at the bottom of it. Since I'm on the short side, I really appreciate this compact unit that still holds the same amount of water as the older designs. The only thing I would change is to move the filling port up a little higher and make it smaller to help prevent filling spills since it comes down a little low. It really feels good on your back and carrys well. The lower pouch is a great storage compartment with easy accessibility. All in all, this new compact design makes Camelbak even better and more versatile.

The BlackHawk Emergency Medic Roll has plenty of storage compartments for your first aid supplies in a convenient, roll-out design for quick access. The clear storage areas make it easy to readily identify the needed first aid supplies. It's a sturdy and well built product made with thick fabric and heavy stitching for rugged use. The storage compartments sizes vary for the supplies of different sizes and open in the middle of the roll. The only drawback to the compartments are that they can't be sealed except the large compartment at the end which has plenty of velcro. Elastic bands run down the middle of the unit but they aren't very snug to help secure a larger item protruding from a pocket. The end of the unit has both velcro and 2 backup clip straps to help secure it when rolled shut. The carrying handles seem a little more problematic since there's one at each end and they're offset a bit awkwardly unless, I suppose, you have just the right amount of supplies in the unit. If you have it in your pack, the carrying handles won't matter anyhow. All in all, it's a good, sturdy unit and as a former EMT, I like the quick viewing and accessibility to all your supplies and not having to fumble around with trays.
