I got mine in April 2021. I wear it a few times a week and I love it! I will buy it again if/when the velcro wears out.
Here is what I carry in mine. CAT tourniquet, mini sharpie, 1st responder shears, gloves, mini flashlight (mouth friendly), NAR 4″ ETD (Emergency Trauma Dressing), QuikClot gauze, wound packing gauze and HyFin Vent chest seal twin pack

The delivery took longer than expected however the owner of the company, Alessandro Padovani advised there had been a problem getting the materials from Italy. He was informative and helpful. The product is high quality and comfortable to wear and holds the tounaquet, chest seals, gauze and quick clot easily. The wait was worth it, Thanks Alessandro.

Day 1 was all pistol, building up from very basic to a complicated simulation with 3D dummies. I felt safe with Alessandro, who would make sure our technique was solid enough to move on to more advances drills.

Day 2 was primarily rifle, with some pistol is transition drills. The day ended with barricade shooting and again with 3D dummy simulation with running and gunning.

Alessandro provided insight into the psychology and neurobiology of a shooting incident. There was never a moment or drill where I was left wondering why?

Great course – highly recommended and I look forward to training with Alessandro again.

This was an amazing class! Alessandro goes into depth about the science behind the methodology used to run this course. The skills being taught and practiced build on each other, as opposed to other classes where the drills were in without any particular objective. You are being challenged both physically and mentally. Great course and I look forward to training with Alessandro again in the future

This class really opened my eyes to cognitive and physical flaws in my approach to defensive shooting. The instruction was clear and immediately translated into improvements. My structure is better, my sense of what is happening around me has opened up. I can genuinely say I am faster, safer, and a better defensive shooter than I was before taking the class.

Amazing!! The quality is superb, the comfort level after wearing everyday for six months is astronomical, and the carry ability is bar none the best on the market. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another 2-3 of these, just wish they would add an option to have optional tabs to hold the items in securely as after a while the fabric begins to loosen and lose its stretchability and strength depending on how much gear you’re carrying. But other than that small gripe, this thing is SOLID. Don’t hesitate pick one up NOW!

The SFD Responder quality is excellent. Stitching, velcro, internal silicone strips, etc. are all first class. I also like the Molle cut outs which give you additional options. It is also very comfortable to wear. I received mine about a week ago and have been playing with different configurations. I would have given it 5 stars except for 2 things:
1. Cost – expensive compared to other AFAKs on the market but the quality may make up for that
2. Customer Service – I ordered mine on 04/16 & as the web site stated 60 – 70 in stock I asked if it would arrive sooner than the 4 – 6 weeks stated. I rec’d a reply on 04/30 saying that it would ship on 05/03 (I figured 05/06). Sent an email on 05/20 asking for tracking info or refund & got tracking info on 05/22. Responder arrived on 05/25. the Pony Express only took 10 days to cover 1,800 miles in 1860 – should be able to do better today.

Absolutely AMAZING!! It literally disappears even when loaded full. When you need deep concealment but still need medical, THIS is definitely THE ankle rig to rock. I can fit a SOFT tourniquet, two chest seals, full size trauma shears, two pairs of gloves, Israeli bandage, sharpie, light, roll of duct tape, Celox rapid, and gauze. 10/10 I HIGHLY recommend picking up a few pieces of stretchy bungie cord and cut some small pieces to thread through the holes on the front of one of the panels that way you can get little stretchy “hooks” that you can slip tape, gloves, etc underneath. The design is truly versatile and I’ll def be picking up another one – one for classes and training and one for EDC.

In reply to David Culpepper.

Hello David,
as per our last email communication from yesterday:
Hello David,
It is shipping out tomorrow. I understand your frustration and I hope that the quality and comfort of the SFD Responder will make up for the extra time you had to wait.
Thank you again for your patience,
