Adventure Medical Kits Ultralight Watertight

Description

I recently purchased the Adventure Medical Kits Ultralight Watertight .5 and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations. This compact kit is perfect for solo trips lasting one to two days when you need a lightweight and essential kit.

The kit measures 6" x 4" x 1" and weighs only 4 ounces, making it ideal for adventure racing, boating, canyoneering, climbing, hiking, and kayaking. It contains a variety of bandage materials, including adhesive fabric bandages, butterfly closure bandages, and conforming gauze bandages.

In addition, the kit includes essential wound care items such as after cuts and scrapes wipes, tincture of benzoin topical adhesive, and triple antibiotic ointment. It also features medication for pain relief and allergies, including after bite wipes, antihistamine, and ibuprofen.

To ensure the safety and cleanliness of the contents, the kit comes with an Aloksak waterproof bag. This bag measures 4.5" x 7" and provides an extra layer of protection for the items inside.

Overall, the Adventure Medical Kits Ultralight Watertight .5 is a reliable and convenient first aid kit that provides peace of mind during outdoor adventures.

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • I'm not sure if you mean gauze wrap or tape but either way it has both. They both are standard rolls. Also, if you just go to their website, it will tell you what and how much/many are in each kit!
  • The packaging says it weighs 3.5 oz. It is light enough to take hiking or backpacking.
  • I purchased this kit in April 2021. The meds indicate May 2023 dates on packets. I don't know if packets are available from the same vendor, but they can definitely be purchased elsewhere.
  • The ibuprofen included is 200mg tablets. I hope that is helpful!
