Weaver Orange First Aid Pouch

The Weaver first aid pouch is a bright orange pouch made to carry first aid supplies on a saddle or work belt. The color makes it easy to find in the gear pile and easy for a coworker to spot on you in an emergency.

First aid you can reach

When someone gets hurt aloft, the climber is often the first responder. A pouch on the saddle means bandages and bleeding control are already up there. The orange color matters too: a coworker should be able to see where the kit is without digging through gear.

Check the listing to see whether the pouch ships with supplies or empty, then stock it with what your crew is trained to use. Our first aid section has kits and refills.

Weaver is known for saddles and climbing accessories that hold up to daily abuse, and the pouch is made to the same standard. Mount it on the side of your saddle or belt where it will not interfere with your lanyard, saw or hip-mounted gear, and where a coworker can reach it if you cannot.

Keeping it ready

Go through the pouch on a schedule. Replace anything used, wet or out of date, and make sure the closure still holds.

Get trained in first aid and bleeding control, and follow your employer's emergency plan. Call emergency services for any serious injury.

A useful starting point for contents is bleeding control supplies, gauze, adhesive bandages, gloves and tape. Add anything your crew's training or local regulations call for, and keep a list of contents inside the flap so restocking is quick and nothing gets forgotten.
