Customer Reviews

As the name implies, this is a "Crash Pack" not a first aid kit. It's everything you need in the event of a crash on your bicycle (mountain bike or road cycling) or would come in handy after a scrape while bouldering, rock climbing, or cross country running.
You simply can't carry a complete first aid kit on an endurance event, like cycling or cross-country running, because it would be too bulky and heavy. You need something lighter and smaller than anything ever thought up by the outdoor sports industry for general use.
Inside the ultralight and durable mylar bag are a variety of essential single use size items for cleaning, disinfecting, and dressing most scrapes and cuts, as well as a couple of packets of NSAIDs (such as Advil, Bufferin, Tylenol). It even includes packets of bacetracin and butterfly bandages.
I've had mine for about three years now, used it, resupplied it, and the mylar bag looks likes it's ready for several more years of being at the ready in my jersey pocket during the thousands of miles I ride per year.
Before buying the crash pak, I used to carry just plain band-aids in a variety of sizes. No one sells single packs of bacitracin, alcohol swabs, or butterfly bandages for instance, so to create an 'as good' crash pack myself I would have to buy large quantities of each of the items it contains all at once. Thank goodness Brave Soldier has already done this, and even sells the refill variety pack needed to resupply this increadibly well put together crash pack.
I suppose the one CON is that it doesn't include any large, deluxe bandages that are antibacterial and waterproof, but those things cost the same as this entire kit and can easily be bought in any store that sells first aid supplies. I bought a pack of them and put a few in my Crash Pak--so now it's even better.
BOTTOM LINE: The Brave Soldier Crash Pak is exactly what the Emergency Medical Technician ordered for outdoor endurance athletes.

A few first aid patches, wipes, and couple NSAID pills packed in a cheap ziplok-like bag. The packaging and the contents worth less than 3 Washingtons. Look elsewhere for better product and value, like Coleman Base Camp First Aid Kit or First Aid Only Outdoor First Aid Kit, Soft Case, 205-Piece Kit.
