I've been in TEMS for 3 years and this is the best value on the market. Other bags charge more for less space or less organization. TT offers room for ~3 IFAKs worth of supplies in a simple and effective design. This bag lets me carry my MARCH essentials to the X without getting in my way or overly restricting movement. I run a plate carrier and gun belt and this bag sits just below my plates and on top of my cobra buckle. I've looked at running a lot of the abdominal pouches and 1) there's not enough room for what I want to carry and 2) I don't always wear my plates. If I run soft armor, this bag can sit next to me and I can extend the straps out and sling it. I adopted the bag after doing some joint training with the PJs and I've never regretted it. New bags on the market cost easily twice as much without offering more than maybe a compression strap or some shock cord (~$2 of shock cord holds my TQs on the outer MOLLE). I cannibalized my TT plate carrier shoulder strap pads to pad the belt for when I wear this bag more than 6 hours. I expect this bag to be my department standard in 2 years (or less).
