Description
The Ultralight Pro is the heavy hitter in Adventure Medical Kits' Ultralight/Watertight lineup, and it earns that reputation. Developed alongside Yosemite Mountain Guides and later opened up to retail, it's stocked to handle groups of up to 10 people for as long as a week in the field. Think outfitters, trip leaders, mountaineers, and anyone responsible for a crew far from the nearest trailhead. Weighing in around 1 lb 12 oz, it carries a serious amount of care without feeling like a boat anchor in your pack.
What Sets the Ultralight Pro Apart
Where lighter kits stop at bandages and blister care, this one steps into real backcountry medicine. You get a Laerdal CPR pocket mask with a one-way O2 valve, a C-Splint for immobilizing fractures and sprains, EMT shears, precision splinter and tick forceps, an irrigation syringe for flushing out dirty wounds, and wound closure strips to pull a nasty cut shut. Trauma pads, a triangular bandage, and a deep supply of dressings and medications round it out. It's the kind of stock that lets a trained hand actually manage an emergency instead of just patching it.
Two-Stage Waterproofing You Can Count On
The watertight part isn't marketing fluff. Inner DryFlex bags keep your supplies 100% dry, while the rugged outer bag adds a water-resistant layer with a durable water repellent finish. River crossings, snow, and driving rain won't turn your gauze into mush. It's the reason this kit shows up on rafting trips and alpine climbs alike.
Built to Split Apart for Summit Day
One of the smartest touches is the detachable pull-out kit inside. When you're leaving basecamp for a fast summit attempt, you can grab just the smaller Ultralight/Watertight bag and shave the weight without going empty-handed. Rounding things out is the Comprehensive Guide to Wilderness & Travel Medicine by Eric A. Weiss, MD, packed with improvised field techniques and clear illustrations for when you need a refresher in the moment. Made in the USA.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many people and how long is the Ultralight Pro kit meant to cover?
It's built to support up to 10 people for as long as 7 days in the backcountry. That makes it a strong fit for guides, outfitters, and trip leaders responsible for a group rather than a solo hiker. For smaller day trips, a lighter kit in the Ultralight/Watertight line usually makes more sense.
Is the Ultralight Pro kit really waterproof?
It uses two-stage waterproofing to keep your supplies dry. The inner DryFlex bags are 100% waterproof, and the outer bag adds a water-resistant shell with a durable water repellent finish. That combination holds up well against rain, snow, and river crossings.
What is the detachable kit inside the Ultralight Pro?
Tucked inside the main kit is a smaller pull-out Ultralight/Watertight bag. When you're leaving basecamp for a summit push or a fast day out, you can grab just that smaller kit and cut weight without going unprepared. It's one of the more practical features for anyone traveling light and fast.
Does this kit include tools beyond basic bandages?
Yes, this is a professional-level kit. Along with a deep stock of dressings and medications, it includes a Laerdal CPR mask, EMT shears, precision forceps, an irrigation syringe, wound closure strips, and a C-Splint. It also comes with a wilderness medicine guidebook to help you put those tools to use.
