OHUB Review: The Tough and Tactical Hazard 4 Reveille Grooming Kit
About Hazard 4
Before we dive into the specifications and features of the Hazard 4 Reveille Grooming Kit, let’s take a moment to talk about the company behind the product. Hazard 4 is a California-based company that specializes in the design and manufacturing of tactical equipment for military, law enforcement, and outdoor enthusiasts. They have a reputation for producing high-quality gear that is built to last, and the Hazard 4 Reveille Grooming Kit is no exception. This is a kit that will fit right in with all of your range bags and other tactical gear, but will still make itself right at home in your business travel gear but has features that give you a tactical edge when it comes to getting ready for an important business dinner.
Specifications and Features:
The Hazard 4 Reveille Grooming Kit is made with a water-resistant Cordura fabric that helps protect the contents from moisture. The dimensions of the kit are 9″ L x 6.5″ W x 3″ D, making it compact and easy to carry around. It has a total capacity of 195 cubic inches, which is enough to store all of your grooming essentials like your toothbrush, razor, comb, and a couple of extras here and there. In my personal bag, I keep a bar of soap, a Sonicare electric toothbrush, toothpaste, cotton swabs, as well as a small container full of supplements and Tylenol and the like – never know when you’ll need that on the road.
The kit features multiple pockets and compartments, including a large main compartment, two side pockets, and a front zippered pocket. The main compartment has a U-shaped opening for easy access, while the side pockets are perfect for storing smaller items like toothbrushes and razors. The front pocket is great for items like scissors or tweezers that you want to keep separate from the rest of your grooming essentials. One of the standout features of the Reveille is its durable construction.
It feels just like my other range bags and the stitching all looks to be of very high quality. The zippers are heavy-duty and have easy-to-grab pulls, and the fabric is tough enough to withstand the rigors of outdoor use. One last bonus is that the kit includes a small section of loop material for attaching patches for personalization – the kit comes with a miniature Hazard 4 patch which I now keep on my truck’s headliner.
Things I Liked
One of the standout features of the Hazard 4 Reveille Grooming Kit is its rugged construction. The kit is built to withstand rough handling and tough conditions, making it an ideal choice for those who enjoy outdoor activities such as camping, hiking, or backpacking. The heavy-duty materials and thoughtful design make it clear that this kit was built to last.
Another aspect of the Hazard 4 Reveille that I appreciated was its organization. The kit includes multiple pockets and compartments, which made it easy to keep my grooming essentials neatly organized and easily accessible. The clear plastic pockets were particularly useful, as they allowed me to quickly find what I was looking for without having to rummage through the entire kit.
Additionally, I found the size of the kit to be perfect for travel. While it’s compact enough to fit easily into a backpack or duffel bag, it’s also spacious enough to hold all of the grooming essentials I need for a longer trip. The kit is about the size of other popular travel items like small electronics organizers or perhaps a Magpul Daka pouch but much thicker.
One feature that I particularly appreciated was the inclusion of a hook for hanging the kit. This made it easy to keep my grooming essentials off of potentially dirty or wet surfaces, which is particularly important when traveling. The hook also made it easy to access my grooming supplies while in the shower or other cramped spaces. This is probably the biggest notable feature for me along with the kit’s general rectangular box shape which makes it pack neatly and flat instead of a more cube or log shape as is common with other kits.
Lastly, the quality of the materials and construction of the Hazard 4 Reveille Grooming Kit is truly impressive. The attention to detail is evident in everything from the zippers to the stitching, and I feel confident that this kit will last me for years to come.
Things I Didn’t Like
While there is a lot to like about the Hazard 4 Reveille Grooming Kit, there are a few things that could be improved upon. Firstly, the kit can become quite heavy when fully packed, which could be a concern for those who prioritize lightweight gear. Additionally, the limited color options may not appeal to everyone, and some may find the black-on-black design to be a bit too subtle for their taste, while the FDE might be too conspicuous for those looking to keep a low profile – I certainly don’t have any qualms about that particular color as is evidenced by this review.
Another minor issue is that there is no detachable mirror, which could be inconvenient for some users who prefer to have a mirror included in their grooming kit, especially when you’re not in a hotel or other place where a mirror would be handy for grooming purposes. However, this may not be a dealbreaker for everyone, and it’s important to note that the kit is still fully functional without a mirror.
Lastly, the price point of the Hazard 4 Reveille Grooming Kit may be a bit steep for some, especially when compared to other options on the market. However, the quality and durability of the kit make it a worthwhile investment for those who prioritize longevity and reliability in their gear.
Closing Thoughts
Overall, while there are a few minor drawbacks to the Hazard 4 Reveille Grooming Kit, the positives far outweigh the negatives. It’s a versatile, well-built kit that can handle anything from a weekend camping trip to a long-term international adventure. If you’re in need of a durable and functional grooming kit, the Hazard 4 Reveille is definitely worth considering.
The Hazard 4 Reveille Grooming Kit is a solid choice for anyone looking for a durable and versatile grooming kit. Its ample storage space and multiple pockets make it easy to organize and access your grooming essentials, while it’s water-resistant material and tough construction ensure long-lasting use. The kit’s compact size and affordable price point also make it a great value for those on the go. I think the product’s official description sums it up quite well:
Desert tent-encampments, makeshift military barracks, and 3rd world lodgings are the places for which this tough toiletry-bag was designed. But its progressive, rugged looks won’t appear out of place on five-star hotel marble.
