A weather-protected first aid kit for hiking, kayaking, cycling and short outdoor adventures.
The Adventure Medical Kits Ultralight/Watertight™ 0.5 is designed for outdoor activities where every gram and centimeter of pack space matters. Weighing only 3.6 oz, it carries essential first aid supplies for one or two people without adding unnecessary bulk to your equipment.
Originally developed for adventure racing, the .5 is well suited to hiking, kayaking, mountain biking, climbing, skiing, camping and lightweight travel. Its compact size allows it to fit easily inside a daypack, cycling bag, kayak compartment, climbing pack or vehicle emergency kit.
The kit uses a two-stage water-protection system. Medical supplies are stored inside a waterproof DryFlex™ inner bag, while the outer bag features a water-resistant construction with a durable water-repellent finish. Together, these layers help protect the contents from rain, snow, splashes and damp outdoor conditions.
Inside, you will find carefully selected supplies for covering minor cuts and scrapes, protecting blisters, removing splinters or ticks and managing common issues such as pain, fever and mild allergic reactions.

Compact First Aid Support for Short Adventures
The Ultralight/Watertight™ 0.5 offers more medical coverage than a minimal pocket kit while remaining small enough for lightweight and fast-moving activities.
It is a practical choice for outdoor travelers who need wound-care, blister and medication supplies protected from changing weather without carrying a large medical bag.
Keep it inside your hiking pack, kayak equipment, cycling bag, climbing gear or travel luggage so essential first aid supplies remain close at hand.
Important: This kit is intended for basic first aid and does not replace professional medical treatment. Check the contents before every trip and replace any medication or supplies that have been used, opened, damaged or expired.
