The price is worth is the extensive list of items included in the kit
There is a guide that provides simple and easy to follow instructions
The style of the kit bag is sleek and made of high quality materials
It is said that even a dummy or a beginner can easily use the kit
The items inside the kit ranges from simple items, to items that can be used for serious trauma
What wasn’t so great about the Elite Large Fully Stocked GI Issue Medic First Aid Kit Bag
There is a redundancy in some items, most especially the bandages and dressings.
There is a lack of a professional and high quality stethoscope
The kit does not include a blood pressure cuff
The bandages are mostly not adhesive
The kit could be more useful with a pillbox which can be used by travellers who are suffering from certain medical conditions
The quick guide does not include a list of the items inside. The user needs to sort out everything to see which items belong to what pouch
