Adventure Medical Kits | Ultralight & Watertight .5 First Aid Kit

Reliable 2-Stage Protection for Weekend Missions

Whether you are navigating relentless, root-heavy coastal trails, paddling remote provincial waterways, or embarking on a two-day alpine scramble, stepping further into the backcountry requires a more robust safety net. Originally designed for adventure racing, the Adventure Medical Kits (AMK) Ultralight & Watertight .5 builds on the minimalist foundation of its smaller sibling, adding expanded wound care and blister management for overnight trips without tipping the scales.

Featuring an advanced 2-stage waterproofing system, this kit utilizes a rugged silnylon outer bag with a DWR finish and a 100% waterproof DryFlex inner liner to completely seal out heavy rain, river immersions, and sweaty transitions. Weighing a mere 3.6 ounces, it contains enough premium, hospital-quality supplies for one person over a 1-to-2 day trip. From managing stubborn blisters and Canadian woodland ticks to treating deeper cuts and scrapes, it provides total peace of mind when you are kilometres from the nearest trailhead.
