Compeed Pansement Ampoule Petit Format Review
Compeed's small-format hydrocolloid blister plaster is a featherweight, waterproof fix for toe and side-of-foot blisters, but it's too small for heels.
TickCheck Tick Remover Hook Value 3 Pack Review
A $5 trio of 1-gram plastic tick hooks in small, medium and large, with an ID card. Cheap and nearly weightless, but no match for good tweezers.
Leukotape P Review
A rigid zinc-oxide tape that's become the go-to blister prevention method for thru-hikers who tape hot spots before they turn into blisters.
Neosporin Original Triple Antibiotic Ointment Review
A closer look at whether the classic drugstore antibiotic ointment earns its spot in a backpacking first aid kit.
Tread Lite Gear Cuben Fiber First Aid Case Review
A 7.4g DCF pouch that won't organize your meds for you, but it might be the lightest way to carry them.
Adventure Medical Kits Mountain Series Day Tripper Lite Review
A compact, well-organized 59-piece first aid kit weighing 96g, built for 1–2 people on a single day hike. Solid value, but thin on a few supplies.
Adventure Medical Kits Ultralight/Watertight .3 First Aid Kit Review
The AMK Ultralight/Watertight .3 is a 2.6 oz waterproof first aid kit for solo day trips. Is it enough? An honest look at what's inside and where it falls short.
Adventure Medical Kits Ultralight/Watertight .5 Review
A 102g waterproof first aid kit for 1–2 people on short trips. Solid DryFlex waterproofing, trail-ready contents, but medication quantities run thin fast.
