Our club has been looking to upgrade our first aid kits with newer, more useful equipment. We've already gotten plenty of advice on what to put inside them, however we have yet to find a suitable container for the kit itself. Ideally we'd want a durable, solid, watertight container, which isn't as bulky as a 3.6l Darren drum, but larger than a Nalgene bottle, which was the other container suggested.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what we could use? Or what to look for to narrow down our search?

Cheers,
Leo

Try a Pelicase. They are durable, solid, watertight and come in a wide range of sizes.

Agreed with Mark Wright - particularly as the folded out lid makes a good clean working surface.

A cheap and easy alternative is the airtight tupperware boxes with clips. I use a small (5cm*8cm*4cm approx) one myself and it has been through many a cave and and still works fine, only issue is you'll need a bag to put it in if you get a bigger one.

Inglesport have a range of waterproof boxes of all different sizes, ranging from small ones that would take a few spare batteries (and not much more) to large ones that would probably fit the bill for you. They're very similar to Pelicases, but maybe a bit cheaper.

I've no idea if airsea would supply to individuals rather than to a company, but we use these at work and I've often thought they'd be ideal for caving tubs.  I've always found them really helpful so might be worth a call.  Completely watertight and very tough...
