General
Description
Eagle Creek brand Pack-It
Packing Solutions are a wide ranging set of products
that are modular and can function individually to
organize tools, provisions and belongings by category.
They are not intended to be waterproof, but they are
relatively abrasion resistant and some are breathable.
You can use this system in order to keep items organized
within big bags or in small bags to keep clothes segregated
from other provisions or belongings. In the case of
the first responder, they furnish an easy solution
to compartmentalizing practice tools and materials
for rapid deployment- all but eliminating frantic
searches within labyrinthine packs.
Suggested
Use - Excellent for separating personal Hygiene
supplies from garments and the range of small necessities.
One can contain first aid kits in rugged easy to open
lightweight pouches. Category by category the numerous
required supplies for an emergency can be separated
and tagged for quick retrieval and use.Such categories
may include:
• Fire making supplies
• Personal Hygiene
• flashlights & batteries
• food & water pouches
• Extra change of clothes and Rain gear
• Light bedding
• Medicines
• First Aid
Form Factor & Build -
• Pack-It system products
are available in a wide range of shapes and sizes
to suit specific packing requirements. The smallest
case is a simple 5"X7" zippered pouch and
the largest sacks are around 16" X 20 "
• Soft-sided - Safe, shatterproof, quiet, hold
oddly shaped objects and are puncture and tear resistant
to an extent.
• Easy to use - Most simply zip u. Some of the
garment organizers use Velcro closures.
• Durable - The vinyl lined mesh series are
designed to be semi-see-through. They're pliable but
tough enough to withstand everyday use on travel or
during emergency evacuations.

graphic differentiation.
Environmental Stress- Good

bags that can take the rough use of a medium to term
outdoor adventure or the daily demands of the professional
practitioner

Task performance optimization Packit products

going strong showing no wear or fatigue
------------------
Accommodation for emergency provisions
Excellent
In the context of an overall Go-Bag and Go-Kit
strategy, the Pack-Its are available in enough sizes
and proportions to suite most needs. We liked the
assorted sizes since they enabled us to efficiently
organize items with the minimum of wasted space or
crowding. They are ideal for compressing or organizing
clothes- keeping clean apart from dirty laundry. They
allow for a decent amount of apparel to be stashed
in relatively small spaces. The shirt folder we tested
, for example, managed to neatly contain 4 spare T-shirts
as well as 2 lightweight fleece shirts. The small
zippered bag holds a lot of personal Hygiene products
and yet it weighs very little by itself.

we offer our observations and recommendations based
