We are using this as a family first aid kit bag, I think it would work well for sport team first aid kit as well. It has a lot of storage pockets and straps to organize all your first aid supplies. It seems a bit small though to be an EMT bag, it just doesn't seem it would be big enough.

On one hand, this BLS bag is kind of over-the-top for a family/home/travel first aid kit. On the other hand, it is kind of under-built with some odd details for a hard use EMS/SAR/workplace bag. As an EMS bag I would give it A-minus for design concept; B-minus for execution. As a substantial family or workplace medical bag, maybe a solid B for both concept and execution.The best use seems like a relatively small niche: the rural EMS or SAR volunteer who generally relies upon agency equipment, but desires to maintain a personal initial responder kit — generally stored but available for occasional use. Or the retired/off-duty EMT who wants to work with more than bare hands as an infrequent bystander to a remote emergency scene. That is my use, and I consider the Cosell bag A or A-minus for my application.plus points• I love an EMS bag which is not a bottomless black hole of stuff, but quickly opens fully to display its contents;• The exterior pocket layout of the main cover is efficient — top pouch is enough for initial contact on every call (PPE, scope, cuff, SpO2); lower pocket opens out flat with room for immediate crisis items (airways, trauma dressing, tourniquet, light, etc);• main body of bag also opens out flat to expose contents in the 12” x 18” compartment (with elastic straps to keep infrequent use flat items accessible but out of the way — multi-trauma dressing, burn dressing, space blanket), plus three transparent-faced zip pouches velcro-ed to the cover for organizing smaller contents in various ways;• for the uses I described, the size of the bag is not too big and not too cramped for capacity.minus points• The intended purpose of the 4” x 16” x 1” side pockets is pretty mysterious — do people still carry wood arm splints? maybe collapsible IV poles or BBQ tongs? I eventually figured out that these pockets might accommodate a size “B” oxygen tank. That could be enough capacity to work through an initial encounter, but the pockets have no padding for tank, valve, or regulator — and are not large enough to fit a padded carrier. I could not recommend that use as a safe practice.• I don’t believe the semi-rigid PVC transparent covers stitched onto the removable pouches are going to be durable in cold or hot weather — there are better plastics and attachment methods for this type application.• There is no way to detach or stow the backpack shoulder, waist, or sternum straps when not in use. Mostly they will be in the way on a bag which will spend a lot of time stowed and usually be carried 100 yards or less by its suitcase handle (and could benefit from D-rings for a shoulder strap).• The medium-duty coil zippers have no protection from weather, and are inclined to hang up on their own tape or adjacent fabric going around corners.you decide• The sternum strap and waist belt of the harness are flexible 1” webbing. The waist belt will ride over the girth of lower abdomen on most adults, rather than on the hips. The sternum strap will ride wherever it wants to across 4” of chest between collarbone and bottom of ribcage, depending upon shoulder strap adjustment. It does seem like they can help keep a 15-20 pound load from swinging around if you will be running or rappelling or something with this pack.* The line of 1” reflective tape on 3 sides provides okay, but not outstanding night visibility.• The Star of Life® emblem suggests a formal affiliation with EMS — don’t get ahead of your skis.

This Cosell first aid bag has become essential for our active Scout troop! We're always on the go, hiking, camping, and participating in various outdoor activities, so having a reliable and well-stocked first aid kit is crucial. This bag has been perfect for keeping us prepared!What we love most is how well-organized it is. It has tons of compartments, pockets, and elastic straps, so everything has its place and is easy to find quickly. The bright red color and reflective strips make it easy to spot, even in low-light conditions, which is a huge plus when we're out in the wilderness. It also hangs easily in our troop trailer and is easy to toss into other vehicles for shorter trips.The bag is made of sturdy materials and can withstand wear and tear. It's also surprisingly spacious, with plenty of room for all our essential first-aid supplies. We can carry it as a backpack or by the handle, adding convenience. We LOVE that the small clear containers can be removed quickly, allowing us to organize the bag and retrieve just the right items without constantly digging through the entire bag.While the side pockets are oddly shaped, and the zippers can sometimes get caught on the fabric, those are minor drawbacks compared to the bag's overall functionality and durability.If you're looking for a reliable and versatile first-aid bag that can keep up with an active lifestyle, I highly recommend this one. It's been a fantastic addition to our troop's gear, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to other outdoor enthusiasts.

I have plans to build a few medical bags for home and vehicles. I picked up several different types of bags because I couldn't decide how I was going to go about it. I really like the style of this bag over all my others because of the way it lays everything out when you open it. Everything is right there in front of you, and even the smaller bags are see-through. You don't have to fumble through stuff to find what you need, which is a big plus when you're in a hurry. The outside side pockets are long and tall, so they can hold any long items you have. The bag can be carried by the handle or like a backpack. Overall, it's a pretty nice medical bag.

This first aid backpack has everything going for it. It has a lot of space inside for first aid supplies and offers many ways to organize the products. It opens all the way, 180 degrees, for the best possible access to supplies quickly. The main compartment has three small bags with clear fronts and velcro on the back. They fit on a pair of long velcro strips. This allows you to organize each bag for specific needs, and being able to see what is in each bag at a glance will be a great help to EMTs, firemen, what have you. The back of the main compartment has three full width elastic straps for locking down larger items so they don't shift or cause damage. The front pocket has pockets and elastic straps for even better organization because seconds count! It has a large mesh pocket for items not readily organized, and keeps them in one place, easy to access. There are two long and narrow pockets, one on each side, to hold larger items that you need immediate access to. There are a number of Scotchlite strips on the outside to make this backpack highly visible in the dark. You can see how reflective they are in my pictures because the camera flash is almost blinded! You can see from my last side view just how much this backpack can expand to hold what is needed. I'm impressed, bigtime!
