Särmä TST SRI Semi-Rigid Insert

The Särmä TST Semi-Rigid Insert helps you organize a panel with pouches and accessories, carry it in your backpack or bag, and pull it out for easy access. You can also switch the contents according to mission-specific needs. Can be installed in a vehicle, on a wall, or as a beavertail on the outside of your pack.

All pouches and accessories in the pictures are sold separately.

• Construct a modular unit for medical gear, tools, etc.
• Use in a bag, in your vehicle, or at home
• Compatible with MOLLE/PALS pouches, 25 mm / 1" webbing, and bungee cord

The Semi-Rigid Insert offers 240 x 350 mm / 9.5" x 14" of space, or 5 columns and 5 rows if you measure things in PALS matrix equivalents. Each row has six evenly spaced 4.5 mm / 0.18" holes for bungee cord lacing and all sides have slots for 25 mm / 1" webbing or Velcro straps. If necessary, the material can be cut with scissors to fit into a smaller bag.

The top has a handle for pulling out of a bag or easy hanging. If you make several gear modules, this is a smart place to wrap with colored tape for easy identification.

The most obvious selection of pouches and accessories on an insert like this is a medical kit beyond the basic IFAK or adding emergency items you might need in a situation like that: fluorescent vest, flashlight, flares, batteries, and so on. It can also be used for the non-urgent administrative gear you want to move from one bag to another as a module, or construct various modules for your go-to pack.

Made in Finland.
