Mini first aid kits for cycling

There are always going to be risks associated with cycling, especially if you’re out on uneven terrain or isolated areas that are hard for the emergency services to reach. That’s why a mini first aid kit (and a mobile phone) should always be with you when you ride.To get more news about best ifak, you can visit rusuntacmed.com official website.

There are plenty around that are light enough and small enough for you to forget they’re even there — until you need them that is. Whether you suffer a small scratch or end up meeting the gravel, you won’t regret having a kit with you. Here are six rated.
So good: It’s impressive just how many items Hi Gear has managed to cram into this kit, which is available exclusively from GO Outdoors. The price is potentially the cheapest on test too (if you have one of its discount cards). In addition to standard dressings you get a whistle, scissors, safety pins, finger dressings, insect repellent and a sachet of burn gel.

So good: Despite its feathery weight, this kit is packed with a comprehensive selection of items that should see you through most incidents on the trail. As well as plasters and bandages, there are butterfly strips, safety pins, a compress, blister plasters and mini tweezers for splinter/tick removal. Inside the ripstop outer pouch is a waterproof ziplock bag.

No good: Despite being the most expensive kit on test, there are a couple of omissions. Adding some surgical gloves and a lightweight safety blanket would help justify the price tag and make this pretty much perfect.
So good: Ortlieb’s waterproof PU-coated nylon pouch is the best on test. The roll-top and bungee fastenings are secure but easy to access, even one-handed. Additional fixing straps mean you can attach it to various parts of your bike/pack/body and keep it within easy reach. It’s the only kit on test to include a survival blanket, and also contains some good-quality gloves

So good: Lifesystems’ diminutive pack is well stocked for its size and weight. In addition to a huge selection of sticking plasters you get blister plasters, safety pins and SPF50 suncream. The standout item is a ‘cohesive bandage’, which sticks to itself without the need for knots or tape. A separate ziplock bag (not pictured) that sits within the ‘silnylon’ (silicone-treated nylon) outer pouch keeps the contents dry.

So good: The lightest kit on test is housed in a waterproof pouch, which has a roll-top and Velcro closure to keep the elements out. Butterfly strips and an absorbent compress dressing are useful additions beyond the standard sticking plasters, alcohol wipes and bandages.
