Everyday Carry Medical
Our EDC Ankle Medical Kit gives you the ability to comfortably carry medical and some overflow everyday carry items.
In the world of self-defense, I hear folks talk about the importance of carrying medical.
The only problem is that they carry multiple knives, a gun, a reload, and you guessed it, NO MEDICAL.
If you really want to protect and defend life, you are more likely to need emergency medical than any of our stabby / shooty things (yes those are real words, as of now). The difficulty is that carrying medical can be bulky and your phone and keys are taking up most of your only available real-estate. The ankle though is usually fair game to those who wear pants regularly.
Our Everyday Carry (EDC) ankle first aid kit has some huge competitive advantages over the few that exist on the market.

Well Made But Not For Me
Received my kit very quickly so shout out for the excellent turnaround time on order processing and shipping. The medical contents are well thought out and high quality, no complaints there. The ankle carrier itself is sturdy and well made but once you load it all up, it’s VERY bulky (evening following the tips in the video in the description). Even with bootcut jeans I had a very hard time with printing and having my jeans bind on the tourniquet. Also was a bit disappointing that the kit contents were not optimized for “slimness” as John makes many substitutions in his personal kit per the video. Back to carrier construction, the liner material is pretty rough and infyou’re not going to wear long socks it will probably lead to irritation. And there’s absolutely NO elasticity to it, which made it difficult for me to achieve the proper tension for it to stay in place. Overall, it’s a great concept that I just can’t make work for me in my EDC. I’ll be moving the medical contents to an admin pouch on my battle belt.

Must Have!!
I have been wearing this for a few weeks now. With my deployment to South Sudan coming to an end, I have to say even in the African heat wearing this all day for 12+ hours you don't even notice it. If you are looking for something you can carry all day and in all weather conditions this is definitely a must have.

Best EDC IFAK
I’ve been wearing this ankle medical kit for the better part of 3 years and I can say with out a doubt this is the best way to carry medical with you day in and day out. I’ve tried other medical kits from other brands and while those are good, nothing comes close to the amount of comfort this kit provides. I find it very true when people say if it ain’t comfortable you’re not going to carry it and this ankle kit is extremely comfy. I am an active duty Marine, and often am working +12 hours a day 5 days a week and often times forget I have it on. And for you guys who are in and are wondering if you can wear this while in uniform the answer is yes you can. I’m always blousing my pants over these and it looks unnoticeable. Again great product look forward to buying more in the future! Highly would recommend to everyone.

Functional and stylish
I disagree with John, with proper tacticool attire the ankle med kit is both functional and stylish.

2 years in...
I've been wearing this very, very close to daily for two years now (see initial review "Great EDC Addition" below), and have run it through the washing machine a couple times as well. Still highly recommend. The velcro is still good, and while the inner padding is showing signs of wear and tear, I expect it will continue to be a solid and functional piece of kit for at least another year or two. It's been worn to the office, on a couple of disaster relief trips, while crawling around in crawlspaces, while hiking and biking, and through day-to-day life at home with a garden, animals, and some acreage... and is holding up well. Two things to be aware of that have come up more recently: first, be mindful of the packaging of the medical components. The way some of the edges have to be folded to fit has caused tiny holes and tears in the packaging of the elastic bandage, and I probably need to check the chest seal packaging again as well. Not sure if it's something that can be helped, but if you lead any level of active lifestyle and want sterile components in the event you need to use your kit, you'll probably need to replace some components periodically. Second, if you were the kit with boots, it's liable to ride atop the boot and wear holes in the cuff. Not a big deal for me, as said boot cuffs are almost always covered by both the kit and the pant leg, but if you try to keep your boots looking shiny for cargo short season, this kit may cause some unexpected wear and tear on your prized footwear. (This seemed to be less of a problem when I was wearing a lower sneaker/hiking-type shoe.)

Ankle medical kit
Absolutely love the kit definitely took the two week waiting time, but for the good quality gear it’s worth it. Wasn’t a fan of the compression bandage it felt very bulky. Took up space, but other than that it disappears under my work pants.

Good In Many Contexts
I have had this ankle kit for a couple of years now. I usually carry it in my backpack (which I always have with me) as a secondary trauma kit. If I can’t have my backpack however, it’s nice to be able to have the option to have medical on you in any environment or setting. I would highly recommend wearing bootcut jeans/wide leg slacks because this will look ridiculous with skinny jeans. What kind of war poet wears skinny jeans anyways? When I fly, I always take the trauma shears out, but everything else is 100% good to go with the TSA. Overall, great purchase.

EDC Ankle
From reading reviews and watching videos on this ankle kit, as well as other kits. I recalled hearing a tip of making sure to fold the edges of gauze, seals, etc. First putting it together I didn’t think there was a way to get the elastic bandage to fit. Wore it around for about a half hour and thought, “hmm, I wonder if I can cram that bandage in? They did supply it after all “. Moved some stuff around and, well, it fits. Everything fits with a little coaxing. And yes remember to fold the edges out, away from your ankle.

After waiting this whole year past, I sit down to write a review at last... This poetic review, to your relief, Will not bash, and be so very brief... Its capacity is great, its weight is light, And despite its bulk, its out of sight... It has held up, and it does stay cool, It is the best, Warrior Poets rule...

Great with riding jeans!
Been using this kit under riding jeans on my motorcycle for the last two months. They are slightly bulkier than regular jeans so it's pretty much unnoticeable. Great addition to daily carry! Keeps my medical supplies on me if I get separated from the bike.
