Find it Fast Design – Find supplies quickly with the Easy Care organization system, which organizes contents by injury into clearly-labeled pockets, letting you easily find what you need at a moment's notice. An external kit map shows where supplies are located, while the reflective design helps you find the kit quickly at night.
