I never go anywhere without a small but well-stocked medical kit, which is exposed to the same elements that I am. Good thing Adventure Medical Kits has introduced the Ultralight & Watertight line of emergency kits. Available in four sizes — none weighing more than 10 ounces — the kits consist of a bright-yellow zippered nylon pouch containing one or two leakproof and watertight, self-sealing plastic pouches with first-aid essentials. The range of resources rises with the size, from a small kit with basic bandages, ointments and tablets to the top-of-the-line Ultra-Light & Watertight .9, which comes with 24 kinds of medical aids, including a wound irrigation syringe and a wide, self-adhering elastic bandage. Ultralight & Watertight kits, $11 to $35, at , 800-324-3517
