Igneous Gear First Aid & Repair Kit
Description
The Igneous First Aid & Repair Kit equips thru-hikers for medical and gear failures at a scant 70 grams. Encased in a Dyneema Composite Fabric (DCF) pouch with a YKK Aquaguard zipper, this 130 x 90 x 20 mm system delivers 14 components—wound management, structural repairs, water treatment—optimized for 2,000+ mile trails. At 0.53 g/cm³, DCF’s strength-to-weight ratio exceeds most fabrics, ensuring containment under extreme conditions. From taping abrasions to sealing punctures, it’s engineered for FKT pursuits where every gram and every fix counts.
Features
- DCF Structural Integrity:
Dyneema Composite Fabric offers a tensile strength of 3,100 N/50 mm at 0.53 g/cm³—outclassing nylon or polyester in weight-to-durability metrics. Paired with the YKK Aquaguard zipper’s water-repellent coating, the pouch withstands submersion and abrasion, securing contents through rain-soaked miles or granite scrambles.
- Component Optimization:
Fourteen items target critical needs: waterproof bandages and Leukotape (1 yd) manage wounds with minimal mass; Threadlock (4) and Airlock (2) patches repair fabrics and inflatables via adhesive bonding; water purification tablets (10) treat 20 liters. At 70g, it’s a calculated balance of utility and ultralight design for thru-hiking demands.
