BuddyStrap™ Injured Personnel Carrier

This system has hit all the wicket points for operational needs. To have the ability to take no guns out of a firefight and avoiding putting other members in danger. The system ends all problems. It has met the needs of the operator for being lightweight, compact, and once expanded, very easy to manipulate and use. Systems like this show how the combat environment has evolved, as the operator should. If you don't have this for team use, or for recreational use, I highly recommend buying one.

It took some time to figure out the setup on this product.
1. Compact
2. Easy to wear
It does seem to flop around on the plate carrier more than it should.
This is a great concept but seems to be lacking in certain areas of construction.

Injured persons thoughts
Inner thigh felt constricted and rough on the genitals. The seat didn't perform as it should have.
The band at the top needs to have cushions for the downed buddy for under the armpits like an infant car seat.
Putting the unit back together was extremely challenging and took many attempts.

I am a search and rescue volunteer and a mountain guide in the unforgiving Iceland highlands, great product, and the only solution that works where no one can reach you. Hands are free for hiking poles for balance.

I’ve been training with it a bit and it’s been brilliant, I’m also going to make sure I take it with on hikes in remote areas because it will be really valuable if someone takes an injury.

For tactical training I’m running with the AMAP III on my plate carrier and the Agilite IFAK pouch on my battle belt and the buddy strap fills the space between the bottom of the plate and the IFAK very comfortably.

Very good to have on hand in a emergency

Despite the review title, I did have really high expectations given the company’s history of being so innovative in the space. For a while now I’ve been eyeing this thinking about buying it and decided to finally do it. I’m incredibly surprised by how compact and lightweight it is and its adjustability, as well as how comfortable it is both on my kit and on my person. I’m definitely keeping it with me through all of my training and will be carrying my battle buddies a lot with it. 10/10 recommend!

I love the stuff they come up with. Always of good quality as well. Highly recommended

Well made and high quality. Hopefully I will never have to use this product outside of maintaining proficiency and training. But definitely worth having.

Tested the Agilite BuddyStrap™ Injured Personnel Carrier in CQB private security operations simulations while performing as a protective team in non-permissive zones.
When simulating an incapacitation of a protectee (wound/shock) the system permitted carrying the incapacitated subject while at the same time performing diverse emergency activities such as walking, running, taking tactical cover while carrying defensive equipment, and performing two-handed defensive tactics with various weapons (pistol, carbine, shotgun).

This peculiarity of the BuddyStrap™ Injured Personnel Carrier of allowing elevated extents of mobility while exfiltrating from danger epicenter an incapacitated subject and maintaining full combat capacities with different types of weapons, proves to be of great value during emergencies and contingencies.

Its really come from expertise and comments on real rescue for injured family member or friends in harsh conditions. Thanks agilite for this.

I really really like one day, you add the multicam color option to it!
ANYWAY, what a AMAZING & AWEAOME gear to have on the battlefield🤘🏴‍☠️🫡👊🏴‍☠️🤘

This is a great tool for any mission (purchased for mountain SAR). Easy to carry, and training sessions have proven it incredibly simple and effective. Much more efficient than your basic straps in every way.

This is the only single person carry system. I’ve dragged people, and done the seatbelt carry before, those only work for short distances. This is a must have for me. Attached to my plate carrier for work and I’ll throw it in my pack on days off when rock climbing etc. You never know when you’ll need to carry someone out.

Overall this is a great tool for wilderness safety and medical evac. It's an innovative and simple solution to a difficult problem. I am not military, and I use it to reduce the cost of an injury on an expedition team, allowing us to plan for smaller groups than otherwise. For that, it's excellent, and will allow us to move injured people over difficult terrain without having to leave gear or call for more assistance.

The only downside is that the instructions are confusing. The straps include some markers on the shoulders for L and R which are either backwards or refer to the injured party, not the carrier (confirmed with the video instructions which are accurate) and the illustrations on the included pamphlet are not accurate. However, it's not hard to figure out, and the video instructions are spot on.

I'm excited to see what Agilite comes up with next.

I work in a security role and I’m often concerned about evacuating protectees, especially when I am up in a tall building like a skyscraper. My main concern was that in the event of a fire or other emergency the elevators may not work or maybe shut down and someone may need to be carried down the stairs. This could help greatly for that task.

What a fantastic idea and design. And I've never seen it before. I've already sent the link to my fellow preppers to add to their setup, just in case.
I should have known all those years of the baby carrier were preparing me for something bigger!!

Have to use it some more but it works good. Carrying someone with this is way easier. Its a bit tight to pack up again but practice with it and it wil be a lot easier
