Overpriced and heavy for what it does By Raivyn from SoCal on 08/03/2009 Pros: Easy to view contents Cons: Case is heavy, Inadequate real first aid, Not water proof Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I would not call this a "first aid kit" because it is hardly good for anything more than a headache and a paper cut. For the most part, you are paying for a cute case with a few pills and bandages. While the case is small, its contents are inadequate for genuine first aid, especially if you plan on taking this with you on bike rides or hikes/camping where a genuinely serious injury can occur. If you fall and heaven forbid even scrape your head, or cut your finger with more than a paper clip, there is nothing in this "first aid kit" that will stop the bleeding.
The case is bulky and actually heavy if all you're carrying around is a few finger bandages and pain medication. While the overall kit is barely 2 oz, you can assemble a kit with real first aid capabilities for that weight and size.
If you need something that small and light, you're better off making your own with a ziplock bag. Its lighter and water proof, plus it will cost alot less than this kit. There are also better kits for the same price. In any event, if your goal is truly first aid, bypass this one and get/make a kit that can actually provide genuine first aid.

Great for littler campers, with mods By jwelkin from Lago Vista TX on 04/28/2009 Pros: Just right for kids, Relatively well stocked, Small enough to carry Best Uses: To outfit my Girl Scouts Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I wanted a small kit, small enough for kids to carry and cool enough for them to want to carry it, and this fills the bill. (I took out all meds except the diphenhydramine, since it is carried by second-graders, and closely instructed them not to take that unless OKd by an adult.) The tweezers and bandages got hard use from the git-go, and the kits were easy to access for little fingers.
By Diane108 from Granite Springs, NY on 04/27/2009 Best Uses: Cycling, Hiking, traveling Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I have one of these on my bike which has come in very handy in the past. It also has a small carabiner loop for attaching something you need to find quickly (a key or my presta tire valve adapter)Everything seems to be in there including some things you haven't thought of! It's tiny also, around the size of a credit card Besides different sizes of bandages, there are two kinds of pain relievers, sting relief, triple antibiotic salve, bug repellent pads, tick tweezers, etc... When you open it, it's a little like the clowns in the VW Beetle :-)
