Product Details

Don't head to the put-in without a good first aid kit. The NRS Paddler Medical Kit has a full selection of emergency supplies contained in a waterproof dry bag.
  • The Paddler Kit is ideal as a personal first aid kit that easily stows in your kayak and raft; it's also a perfect size for your truck, car or ATV.
  • This kit contains important survival and repair items such as a fire starter kit, duct tape, safety pins and an emergency blanket all organized inside clear, re-sealable modules.
  • The modules are stored in a tough 30-denier ripstop nylon dry bag with the HydroLock zip-seal and fold-down StormStrip™ closure.
  • The dry bag is big enough to easily hold the Paddler Medical Kit modules and any small, personalized additions.
  • Plastic d-ring on the buckle and two metal grommets offer multiple attachment points.
  • Attached tag doubles as an inventory check-off list and header cards are included in each module letting you easily keep stock of your supplies.
  • The Paddler Kit is designed for a group of 1-6 people on the water for up to 7 days.
  • Field medical kits contain tools and supplies which can be helpful for providing care to ill or injured people. These kits are not a substitute for professional medical care. Please obtain current first-aid and CPR training from a credible source to learn how to properly utilize the contents of medical kits.
