Spiritus Systems Delta Bag - First Impressions

[@mixmix1487]

Great video. Yeah, these high end companies have mastered what I equivalent to, “in app purchase”. Selling a great basic product then having to buy all the add ons becomes super expensive. We all fall for the “customizable” features yet we end up setting them up the same ol way as our old non customizable bags. So do we really need all those “customizable” options? Probably not. Just sell me a complete product!

[@PrepMedic]

Yeah, it is definitely a money grab to a point. I will say though that I enjoy the customizable functions simply because med shortages and other supply ordering issues means ever changing packaging and it’s really nice to be able to change up the pack to fit them. They should absolutely sell it with med trays though.

[@ItsTheHDStudios]

How I feel about my UF Pro pants. 😭

[@adamholroyd8862]

If I sell you the "complete product," your complaint will then be that is expensive and that you did NOT need all the extra parts. We can't win!

[@PrepMedic]

True, but with how functional and changeable the med trays are I’m not sure they would get the same complaints that a fixed pocket layout would get. Ultimately $300 isn’t an outlandish number for a bag but it is at the upper end of the spectrum for the size. All in all I think it’s a good bag that fits a unique niche.

[@kimmithy]

Your videos are extremely helpful. I made a simple first aid kit catered to my diabetes/medication and minor small injuries cause I'm not trained in any life saving/trauma first aid. it's no longer over stuffed and more streamlined for my needs.

[@HK-wq1ei]

for spiritus stuff, i would highly recommend looking on the secondary market. usually 20-40% markdowns for used stuff.

[@Briathos1]

Forgive my ignorance but what secondary sights are you referring to?

[@TacticalJay.]

@@Briathos1Reddit GAFS (guns accessories for sale) and Tac swap , eBay there’s more just research

[@sleeper1709]

@@Briathos1probably eBay, Reddit, Instagram gear swap pages etc

[@HerrPischinger]

I was just looking up reviews for this bag and then your Video pops up haha perfect timing

[@taylorcleblanc]

I love 90% of whats going on with that bag. Literally the remaining 10% is the price considering it is not very functional without the purchase of a bunch of accessories.

[@witchdoc5075]

The thing I dont really like about minimalist packs is I KNOW if I need (whatever equipment) its in my large bag, and typically, it wont fit in the minimalist bag. Also SWAT medic here, and they don't like bringing patients to me. The flip side is humping that 70# bag around all while kitted out with plate carrier, helmet, nods, rifle, etc. It looks good, and I also love that ranger green, but, eh...I will probably stick to care under fire items on my person for now. They can continue to complain about bringing me patients, and I'll continue to buy them doughnuts later.

[@HerbertChen]

It's hard to review Spiritus Systems products, I love the modular design of the Delta Bag, even though it's only used for EDC, however the untimely and efficient stocking, the lack of necessary tray components for $330 (just increased in price), and the fact that even the backpacks need to be customized additionally to suit the needs, are all unpleasant. Thanks for the excellent introductory video!

[@adamholroyd8862]

Thanks for the review dude!

[@thisiconisactuallygoofysfa9960]

BABE WAKE UP HE FINALLY DROPPED IT

[@parkeratwood2717]

The way I set mine up was the outer three compartments covered MAR (extended from what’s on my belt and plate carrier IFAK) and inside was C and H. IV supplies and more so prolonged field care along with splinting and secondary bandaging.

[@rebelsofthelight9802]

Another great video and content Prep Medic...G'Day from Downunder in Australia, Cheers, Nic

[@docenglish250]

With the outer spine area where you shock corded the tourniquets, I put a kydex holster there and it works. I have the CAT holster facing down, because its in there tighter, and the SOF-T the right way up, its the newer gen and doesn't fit well in the holster.

[@dakotahauck9859]

Loved the delta bag, but didnt hold exactly what i wanted so i eventually just made my own bag to fit exactly how i wanted my gear and be modular as well. Great video i just wish the main compartment on the delta bag had slightly more depth.

[@marcl5048]

Great review as always!

[@PrepMedic]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@SONofLIBERTY]

@prepmedic great video. I love the looks of this bag, but I definitely see some of the drawbacks you mentioned. By the way what’s the name of “med bag” you had in the back compartment? Or the name of the company that sells ? I’m assuming it’s the zippered semi Hard case for injectables.

[@PrepMedic]

It’s Cro Medical. It is an awesome case but probably one of the most overpriced prices of kit I own.

[@SONofLIBERTY]

@ thank you for the quick reply. Ok the price did catch me off guard lol. Perhaps I can find a comparable case with the same style of construction. Keep up the really great work man and as a KZbinr myself, I really appreciate the time and the effort that you put into your videos.

[@DanDannyDanielleBob]

Seems cool. For now my kit will be usgi inserts and aloksaks filled with gear organized by module in a Jansport cause med gear is expensive and the bag is creature comfort rather than the main tool

[@Mingo_Mamo]

You should check out the Eberlestock Mission EMOD. Definitely looks advantageous to medics with the infantry. Looks like it could be applicable to SWAT as well.

[@THEFIREPPL]

Great review as always 😊

[@Traineddelta]

Great review Sam. In my opinion this bag is far too small for most medics in most situations. Really it's designed for a SOF medic to do a direct action raid and be done. The assaulter type medic as you said. This bag is certainly not well suited to working with light infantry or other conventional combat arms units. I'd recommend adding an i-gel size 5 to your kit if you can make space or use a different bag. There's a couple studies out there showing using a sex based sizing for i-gel i.e. size 5 for men and size 4 for women is more accurate than weight based. Side note: if you're a combat medic and you're not carrying a BP cuff and a stethoscope, you're wrong.

[@docdolittle8057]

Never cut weight from your vitals and monitoring equipment. Get stronger!

[@jacobkrout1627]

How does this bag compare to the Tasmanian Tiger small pack (in terms of cost, durability, and modularity)

[@docdolittle8057]

I have a Tasmanian Tiger Assault Pack. What’s your job or intended purpose for it? For a truck bag for everyday use it can hold a lot of basic interventions. For mil if you plan on using it, it has to be supplemented with something (Fanny pack/body armor pouches/ larger med bag close by). I love it, durability is great, organization is nice. Plenty of spots to add more pouches etc. Cost not even close, it’s about 150+ dollars cheaper. It works for what I use it for and would recommend!

[@hunterlorusso]

Finally a video we have been waiting for!!!!!! 😊

North American rescue sells them

[@lilmuzzle5487]

@ Thank you!

[@traviswatson2786]

Brother what shirt are you wearing that thing is sharp! Great video, I picked up a delta bag and am not super happy with it so far. It’s stuffed and everything is tight even after dropping several things I carry. I want to look at the classic M9 bag or the Tasmanian tiger L I think.

[@OmegaTeam7]

[@craigandersen2476]

Great review. Do you have a link to the video of the bag you’re replacing?

[@gregsmith1878]

good job

[@bobbycoble73]

That looks like a good bag for an EMT to keep in their POV? Just the right size for the stuff that would be appropriate for an EMT to carry?

[@LiterateDuck]

To play devils advocate: The thing about Spiritus and other companies selling everything separately - they’re selling modularity, and the research behind it. The price isn’t because of just the product, but their products capabilities. Not just the inserts you need for your specific task, but also orientation of those things, and then the RE-insertion & reorganization of those inserts for another task. This product is just designed for certain people, not the masses.

[@PrepMedic]

That is true. There is something to be said about modularity and I do enjoy being able to customize kit. It’s actually a must. It’s not so much the customization that bothers me, it’s more the limited run stock and not at least giving you what you need for a basic setup.

[@MichaelTV44]

What shirt are you wearing? The fit is nice

[@PrepMedic]

It is a top secret Vertx shirt that hasn’t dropped yet 😂🤫

[@ReeseMacalma]

Dang, I was wondering the same thing!

[@cm2973]

Hey, mind to throw some links on these supposed studies? I'm used to being able to place reboa at my shop, our medics have placed a couple of junctional tourniquets though, and like all N of 2 of them worked.

[@PrepMedic]

Sure, link to one below. Not sure what reboa has to do with anything here though. So far the data collected from London Air Ambulance and other trial sites don’t support its use prehospital at all and even the data coming out of trauma centers is unconvincing at best. www.airmedicaljournal.com/article/S1067-991X(24)00059-2/abstract#:~:text=Previous%20research%20has%20suggested%20that,in%20patients%20undergoing%20elective%20anesthesia.

[@Lonewolfpack]

Advanced care paramedic from Ontario here I’m part of the special operations group for the service I work for does that particular bag do you think it would fit Contera inserts?

[@jasonhowe1697]

Nice concelp though looking at th compact nature of the bag i woul think prudent as a strap-on utilility bag with larger bag servicing bulky items in a pack roll or somr type of widow or pocket system coming from a wound care scenario yoiu be service 2 people

[@martinausterfield8597]

Use a set of forceps to pull from the inside of the laser cut stuff.

[@PrepMedic]

You end up reaching so far that it’s hard to grab the cord. I started with that strategy and quickly ditched it.

[@martinausterfield8597]

@ Fair, I’ve had it work with other similar patterned stuff. Oh well, at least once it’s set up it should be ‘permanent’.

[@danmosse9170]

That’s what I designed it for. I figured every medic has hemostats.

[@SheFlungDung]

You need a knitting needle to get into those holes easily. My wife helped me and it was so much easier.

[@Sgtdoc]

I'm surprised I'm this early

[@HeikkiHallamaa]

Have you tried using a piece of metal wire with a hook on the end to pull the shock cord through the holes?

[@PrepMedic]

It’s not looped cord so it doesn’t get hooked.

[@HeikkiHallamaa]

@@PrepMedic you could also twist the wire around the cord or tie a knot to it if that would still fit through the holes. The wire is vastly easier to thread through the holes in any case.

Configuration flexibility is always good however; cost ‘creep’ through nickel-&-diming the customer through ordering every single organization panel is a turn-off.

[@MilkowskiSalach]

Beautiful collection likes your channel kislux

[@xaeubanks7616]

Bag looks good, but it you have to purchase more items not worth it.

[@EswarNeon]

I used my first winnings to buy a canvas LV and in less than two years the wallet was cracked/broken in multiple places and the store refused to repair or replace it. I don't know what kind of resale value such junk could have. I ended up donating it...well, maybe I might buy a fake LV from kislux but these designers/robber barons don't even think about taking another penny from me.

[@jeremyhoenig]

Tried it, bad form factor, not efficient use of such small space. Back to traditional bag for me.

[@EBMisKing]

Great video! Not super impressed with this bag though. I think I’ll be sticking to the Tasmanian tiger L

[@Mike___Kilo]

It's absurdly undersized for the price.

[@Vinnytwotime]

I run this as our team med bag. It's the epitome of 10lbs of shit in a 5lb bag. Would be a great BLS bag. Just too small for ALS

[@kimeemik4408]

.

[@frank12830]

So overpriced

[@PrepMedic]

Eh, kind of. It’s not the cheapest option but it’s far from the most expensive. Even when you factor in the price of 4 med trays the Delta is less than other popular options.
