Atwater-Carey Backpacker First Aid Kit

Backpacker Magazine 2008 Best Buy

"Like the midsize sedan that seats five but still squeezes into compact-car parking spaces, this kit is spacious enough to carry everything most hikers need, yet small enough to shove in your pack's top lid.  Zippered inside the durable nylon exterior are two pouches with plastic windows, which make it easy to find what you need whether it's ibuprofen tablets or a 5x9-inch sterile pad.  Adhesive bandages are double-bagged to prevent soaking, and the kit contains multiday trip essentials like antibiotic ointment, safety pinks to secure bandages to repair gear, and a small syringe to irrigate a wound or dislodge eye irritants.  Save weight by studying the 116-page booklet at home - and leaving it there”  Backpacker Magazine, March 2008
