The Thru-Hiker: 64g Ultralight First Aid

Best for: Thru-hiking · Ultralight backpacking

Designed in collaboration with a thru-hiker, the Thru-Hiker First Aid Kit strips first aid down to what actually matters on a long trail. At just 64 grams (2.3 oz), this kit earns its place in even the most ruthlessly-dialed loadout.

Inside you'll find Leukotape pre-wrapped on a card for instant blister defense, fabric bandages, hydrocortisone and triple antibiotic for wound care, alcohol prep pads, a Tick Key for safe removal, and enough ibuprofen to keep you moving through the hard miles. Everything rides in our ultralight small Bits Bag with room to customize for your specific trail.

Built by people who count grams, for people who count grams. Because the best first aid kit on a thru-hike is the one that's light enough to always be in your pack.

Looking for something with a little more range? Check out the Ultralight Explorer for another ultralight option, or the robust Traverse to support remote, multi-day backcountry missions.
