Adventure Medical Ultralight & Watertight .5 First Aid Kit

You like to go light, but you like to go prepared. Now you can do both with Adventure Medical's new Ultralight Series kits. Adventure racers, backpackers, hikers, bikers, and climbers all rave about the Ultralight .5. Paddlers love its waterproof design which consists of an inner leakproof bag with airtight seal (certified waterproof to 200') and a tough, lightweight outer bag made of 1.3oz silicone impregnated ripstop nylon. This outer bag also has the handiest little stuff pocket for driver's license, credit card, keys, etc. With this kit, you get just enough hospital quality supplies for one person all wrapped up in an ultralight package. SEE ULTRALIGHT .7 FOR VERSION WITH SUPPLIES FOR 2 PEOPLE (AMK0016).

Bottom Line: Like to go light? Cut corners, but don't cut the cut-curing kit. Get the Ultralight .5 instead.

Adventure Medical Ultralight .5 First Aid Kit

By:
September 16, 2008

This little kit has first aid essentials in a nice, compact size. I like the Adventure Medical case and nifty waterproof case inside (which is basically a heavy duty zip lock bag) and there is a bit of space for your own first aid additions to the Ultralight .5. I throw this first aid kit in my pack when mountain biking and going on day hikes and love the small size. I generally bring a supplemental first aid kit when I go on longer backpacking trips.

Great Single Person Kit

By:

It's a great little (and light) first aid kit that fits in the smallest corner of your pack. Comes with a nice stuff sack plus waterproof resealable inner bag. Big enough to add a few of your own personal kit touches. I added some other medication (Immodium, Benadryl) plus some aluminium foil and a few water purification tablets.

Great for ultralight backpacking.

By:

I have used this thing for minor cuts and scrapes but never for anything serious. I take it on every backpacking trip I go on and it is so lightweight that you don't even notice it. It has a good assortment of first aid gear.

Stiff and rough on the hands

By:
June 30, 2005

The rope is a bit too stiff and rough on the hands. I think it's due to the high Bobbins but it does get good ratings, it is a spongy catch. It would not be good in a high friction environment like top roping or climbing where high wear will be encountered. It's light for its size.
