Top 10 Best First Aid Kits on the Market

Surviveware Small First Aid Kit – Light & Portable

Buy from Amazon

It also has straps on the back so you can wear it on other bags or your belt.

The kit includes 100 essential basic life-saving items, all organized in labeled sleeves according to its functions, providing fast and easy usage in stressful situations.

Unfortunately, there are no medications included but there is a separate zip pouch where you can store the ones you’ve bought.

All items are packed in a 600D polyester case which is strong and waterproof. Moreover, all inner items are also protected from water by laminate pouches.

MFASCO First Aid Kit – Big, Ample Supply

Buy from Amazon

The MFASCO’s first aid kit that has more than basic essential medical supplies.

It includes both typical supplies like gauzes, bandages, and tapes as well as a stethoscope and blood pressure cuff, instant glucose for low blood sugar and the emergency blanket.

With over 400 supplies, this is the most complete first aid kit on this list.

Unfortunately, the trauma bag is not waterproof so be careful where you store it.

The bag that has enough space to add additional supplies and medications. However, it is not so portable because of its size and weight.

Swiss Safe 2-in-1 First Aid Kit – Dense, Quality Kit Crammed Up In A Bag Not Big Enough

Buy from Amazon

Swiss Safe is one of the leaders in providing high-quality medical-grade first aid supplies for both business and home use.

This FDA approved first aid kit features 120 medical items that are packed in a compact box made of durable material which is waterproof.

If you don’t want to carry around this kit and need a smaller one for hiking around your campsite, Swiss Safe got you covered. In addition to standard first aid kit, it also includes a smaller kit with 32 essential supplies to help you with minor injuries.

There is also a comprehensive 18-page first aid guide to help you correctly administer first aid in a wide range of emergency situations.

Trip Worthy Compact First Aid Kit – A Decent Kit, With Interesting (Not As Useful) Details

Buy from Amazon

The aim of this compact first aid kit by Trip Worthy is to meet all requirements and standards in a smaller, portable package. This first aid kit measures 5.1×7.5×2 inches and weighs just one pound so it won’t hog up your space when traveling.

All of the medical supplies included in this kit are FDA and there are some additional items like rain poncho, emergency blanket, and other survival items.

Unfortunately, there are no medications so you need to buy them yourself.

There is a manufacturer warranty which lasts 4 years so you can return the product if something’s not right.

The kit also meets the OSHA and ANSI requirements, making it suitable for workplace emergencies.

Adventure Medical Kits Mountain Series First Aid Kit – Big, Ample Package For Serious Use, With Minor Flaws

Buy from Amazon

This first aid kit made by Adventure Medical Kits is more adequate for longer backpacking trips with a larger group of people.

The manufacturer claims that it can manage injuries for up to six people on short trips of up to a week.

The kit features almost anything you need for minor emergencies, including antiseptic, iodine and antibiotic ointments, as well as supplies for more serious injuries. Common medications are also included, which has become a rarity among first aid kits.

All of the supplies are organized in 3 injury specific compartments- Fracture/Sprains, Bleeding/CPR and Wound Care/Burn/Blister.

There is also an extra space to add any additional items you’d like.

There is also a comprehensive guide to help you deal with emergencies in the wilderness.

Adventure Medical Kits Ultralight & Watertight – A Small Kit With Essentials

Buy from Amazon

If you’re a weight conscious adventurer who needs a small first aid kit, maybe you should consider getting Ultralight Watertight by Adventure Medical Kits.

Ultralight Watertight first aid kit comes in 4 different sizes but even the largest weighs only 8 oz. This is great for those who don’t want to carry too much weight during their adventures.

Bigger sizes have more medications, dressings, and bandages that are enough for up to 4 people and up to 4 days trip.

All supplies are protected in an outer bag with taped seams and waterproof zippers that can hold up against even the most extreme elements.

If you think that’s not enough, all of the items are stored in the DryFlex inner bag, providing a second, final layer of protection that makes the Ultralight/Watertight series completely waterproof.

DeftGet First Aid Kit – Quite Small, Somewhat Unreliable

Buy from Amazon

This first aid kit by DefGet is small and lightweight so you can carry it with you anywhere you go or you can leave it at home or in your car. Whatever you choose, you will have all the essential medical supplies for minor emergencies packed in a durable nylon case.

Thanks to the customer’s feedback, this newly upgraded first aid kit come with scissors and tweezers that are bigger and stronger.

The scissors and tweezers are made of stainless steel instead of cheap plastic ones that most first aid kits have in this price segment.

The only downside is that bandaids don’t have enough adhesive and won’t stick. I also think that there should be an ice pack and medicines included.

Swiss Safe First Aid Kit Pouch – Reliable & Good-Looking Package

Buy from Amazon

I’m finishing this list with pocket-sized first aid kit that will be enough for most basic emergency needs.

The kit measures 7×5 inches so it will perfectly fit in your hand, pocket or a travel bag. The nylon bag has two compartments with zippers for better organization and is stuffed with 64 items for most basic emergencies.

There are even gloves, tweezers and scissors which is unusual for kit this small. The scissors are made of plastic but this kit is not intended for major emergencies and injuries.

If you’re not sure how to administer first aid in a variety of common situations, the manufacturer has also included a basic first aid guide to help you.

The Thrive Brand 181 Piece First Aid Kit – Compact and reliable

Made by Thrive, this first aid kit is a good emergency kit for daily use as well as adventures.

The lightweight and compact bag made of nylon and vinyl features 181 useful medical supplies for most emergency needs. There are also inner pockets for keeping the supplies safe and organized between uses.

There’s also a plenty of space to add other items and supplies you need.

Conclusion

I know that many people don’t pay a lot of attention when buying a first aid kit. Most people start thinking about them when they end up with a low-quality kit that doesn’t even include essential items.

In this post, there are various types of first aid kits that I’ve tried. Some of them are bigger, more versatile while others are smaller and cheaper. Not everybody has the same needs so I’ve tried to cover first aid kits that have different prices and purposes.

I hope that with this text you’ve learned more about first aid kits, what to consider when buying them so you won’t make a bad choice.
