The popularity of this kit stems from its powerful component package, lightweight, organized design, and affordable price. This kit has everything that a backcountry guide, outfitter or trip leader would want in a medical kit for a short outing. Upgrades from the Weekender include increased quantities of components to care for a larger group, and a SAM splint.
Well organized with four labeled clear view urethane windowed pockets with -20F (-28C) cold crack rating, you can see what you need easily and quickly. One pocket for wounds, burn and blister care, a second with first-aid manual, medications and instruments, a third for fractures and sprains and the fourth for bleeding and CPR. Case is made from durable coated nylon material with a waterproof zipper and kit weighs 2 lbs 5 0z (1.05 kg) and is a compact 9" x 8" x 5.5" (22.9 x 20.3 x 14 cm), so you can bring with you without worrying about excess weight or bulk.
