Every kayaker needs to carry a first aid kit. The size and make up of the kit will be dependant on the type of trip and the individuals' role in the group. We have purchased many first aid kits over the years and have not been happy with most. Adventure Medical Kits has good quality kits to fit all needs and prices.

The Ultra-Light Paddler is for most paddlers doing day and overnight trips. It is comprehensive, but still small in size.
