First Aid Only 5250 Heat Stress Kit, OSHA-Compliant First Aid Kit for Heat Exhaustion and Heat Stroke Prevention, 26 Pieces

Wow I’m impressed with this great kit. Got it for my upcoming trip just in case & I highly recommend because you never know what can happen on a trip!

My husband has terrible trouble with leg gramps. We keep this in the barn for emergencies.

We're in deep West Texas, in the Chihuahua Desert and that means real heat every day almost year round. It was 100 degrees today already. I am outside riding horses, working on the ranch, and hiking etc almost every day regardless of the weather. From April through November, we do not ever do stuff outside after noon or before 6pm simply because of the heat and sun. Extremely low humidity can lead to dehydration and heat exhaustion or worse before you even realize you're heading for trouble out here. (Sweat evaporates instantly) I keep heat sickness kits in our vehicles, at the barn, in my saddle bags and our hiking packs. This kit is pretty good. The electrolyte tablets are easy to carry and use in multiple circumstances. The cooling packs actually do work and I'm glad to carry one in my saddle bag for emergencies. The powdered drink mix is easy to mix with water and fit in backpacks nicely. This is definitely a kit we'll use.

I fortunately haven't needed to test the materials--it's too hot here yet--but I am prone to quick heat exhaustion so having this in my car for the summer provides added peace of mind. I also like it for my emergency evacuation supplies. I like that there are care instructions inside the kit for various levels of heat issues and treatments. Everything is compact and looks like it should work well. The cold packs especially can work for other emergencies but it's nice to have a pack that is simple and quick for specific needs that often arise for me more often than what larger first aid kits address.

At worksites and even during amateur sporting events, or just on really hot days, heat stroke can strike quickly and even be deadly. Most first aid kits carry little to help with this. Thus, as weather is getting hotter, this First Aid Only Heat Stress Kit (5250) is a critical addition. Keep your cool while in the heat and sun. During hot weather your body temperature can rise to dangerous levels if you don't stay hydrated and out of the sun. Heat stroke IS preventable. This Kit is OSHA compliant also. Contents: 4X Cold Pack, 4" x 5", Disposable Thermometer, 10 Electrolyte Drink Mix (add to cold water) 50 Electrolyte (salt) Tablets and more.

This a good emergency kit for hot weather. It has a good variety of stuff - only thing missing is some actual water but it has enough room to toss in a couple small bottles.

This is a good kit to have where it is warm. It includes drink packets, instant cold packs, tape, and test strips. It also has an assortment of small packets that look to be related to replacing salts and adding magnesium that are not a drink packet. Moreover, it has a space blanket, which is a aluminized Mylar plastic blanket to help maintain body temp. I got this kit as a just in case, and it does a good job catering to what it needs to.

The only reason we chose these "Heat Stress Kits" is because of the electrolyte tablets it is supposed to have included in each one, as right now it has been difficult to find refills for our first aid kits. Although these kits arrived in a timely manner there was not a single electrolyte tablet in either of the kits, while the description clearly list 50 tablets is included. It's a waste of time to return the kits, buyer beware, if you're purchasing these kits for the contents, they are varying the contents without warning.
