Extremely handy to have when needed. Took some getting familiar with packing, but after a few repacks, it's easy to find and use anything that we need wherever we happen to be.
I drive long distances on the daily and always thought I should get a kit for my vehicle. What is provided in this kit is more than what I expected and highly recommend it to anyone!
This specific kit suits all needs from extremely hazardous industries to emergency assistance. Nothing feels better than being prepared to save a life.
I ordered the Adventure Lite for a gift. It’s the perfect size to throw in a dry bag for some white water action or a pack for a quick Northeast 111.
Specifically, it’s small enough that my adventurer sibling will actually toss it in his pack, vs pretending that he did. I think he’ll be pleased that he now has the supplies he needs for his “Safety? What’s that?!” lifestyle.
These are genuine and the price is as reasonable as it gets. They work exceptionally well and are an essential addition to ANY first aid kit. However, do check the expiration date, as similar to food, while it may not necessarily be harmful (and can still be used) after the expiration date, it is not guaranteed.
Bout it to replace the one I utilized two weeks ago. While trimming a shed in the yard, I accidentally ran my miter saw through the outside of my left forearm, just to the left of my wrist bone. Realizing the situation, I calmly walked to the front of the house where my wife was located. I asked her to retrieve my ITS first aid kit from the prepared bag in my truck, and I promptly applied the dressing to the wound. By the time we reached urgent care, the bleeding had almost completely ceased.
As a Physician Assistant and avid sheep hunter, this kit is perfect. It is light but it also carries all of the essential items to treat the most common injuries and illnesses encountered in the backcountry!
Busted out the first aid kit last night to change a dressing on my back. My wife goes “This first aid kid is legit! Buy me one for my car.” So now I’m buying a second.
Delivered very quickly. Excellent condition and airtight seal protecting the products. So far I've ordered 2 sets. 1 for my own kit and another sent to a volunteer first responder
The kits are well built, laid out, and thought out. From professionals who were in life or death situations and had to use first aid regularly to save their friends lives.
There is nothing more important than being prepared, having the right tools, and this first aid kit should be in every home, office, and vehicle.
Of all the Israeli type bandages Ive seen, and Im familiar with about six different brands, this is by far the best. The packaging is very compact, the best Ive seen. When youre packing a first aid kit for EDC, size matters and this one takes first prize. Expiration date is out six years, also best Ive seen. Price was very reasonable. I usually write fairly long reviews, but this one is easily summed up in just six words: Very highly recommended, buy this product.
In a market saturated with IFAK’s and supplies ViTAC is a cut above! Buy from the best! Be confident, competent and equipped with ViTAC!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We are thrilled to hear that you are satisfied with our products. Thank you for choosing us and for your trust in our brand. Stay safe out there! - The ViTAC Team
