I am nowhere close to being the pinnacle of medical knowledge, but as an EMT who works in the field of emergency preparedness and response, I am very impressed with this trauma kit. A key assumption before continuing with this review; I have not yet performed a thorough inspection of the CAT Gen-7 tourniquet, though upon a cursory review, it does appear to be legitimate and not a copy-CAT (forgive my pun).
The kit is constructed very well and with good stitching. The exterior strap provides a decent amount of compression to keep the contents of the kit compact and in place. Comparing this kit with many others out on the market, I find that this kit makes some of the most financial sense, given the quality of the items included. The only things I would add to this kit are occlusive chest seals and cling/roll gauze; the latter being optional, but beneficial in extending the number of injuries or patients that can be treated by one kit by potentially being paired with the hemostatic z-fold gauze for one injury site, and using the Israeli bandage on another.
I believe the next evolution of this kit does come with some of those additional items, but it also adds additional band-aids and smaller items that I don't think are necessary for this type of kit.
Kit strengths: Well packed; quality (reliable) equipment; good as an IFAK or to be stored in a bleed kit/large AED case, or to be kept on a jobsite.
Kit weaknesses: Somewhat large/bulky, make sure it will fit in your intended storage space. The red velcro first-aid patch has small red fibers coming off of it, a very very mild irritation.
Final Thoughts: There is additional value to be found in the origin of this kit. Being an American company with an official CAT Gen-7 tourniquet is important, especially if this kit is to be used for anything other than personal use. Are other kits likely to get the job done? Probably. But when it comes to a tourniquet, is "probably" good enough? In Ukraine, many copy-CATS are being discovered. Sadly, they are discovered when the cheaper windlass fails during application in a high-stress environment.
Also, it may be worth considering other means of wound disinfection beyond the included alcohol prep pads. Studies have shown that use of hydrogen peroxide or rubbing alcohol can harm tissue and delay healing. In emergency situations, it should still do the job, just bear this in mind.

How to Apply Emergency Compression Bandages

Little more prepared now.
After one evening when I was driving home from work at midnight on a two lane road, when I came across a single vehicle rollover. The driver was ok, just banged up a bit. But I realized I was not prepared for anything. Not even Band-Aids. Not saying that I could do any good with this kit even though I have some basic lifesaver training from years ago. But another passer by just might have the training. Either way it is better to have it instead of having nothing. With the states going crazy at the moment literally anything could happen at anytime. It doesn't have a 7th Generation turniquite like a few others complained about. It has a Gen3, but when gen 3 was the best available it was saving lives, so I don't get the issue. If I ever need to replace it I will then get the latest. A few things I have added are 4 Chem-lites, a 3" folding knife, quick clot gauze, and a HyFin chest seal dressing. There is room for it so why not. I can't see where I will ever use it but I have it so I won't ever be needing it. Things I think I may still add are better gloves and medical tape. The kit has medical tape, but I like the fabric tape better. As for the items in the pack they seem adequate for what you may need if rolling up on an accident. And it was cheap enough that I would not hesitate to break it out and use it.It is also small enough to remove from the jeep and toss in a back pack if we go hiking or boating or anything else you could think of.
