100% MTB specific
We believe that all riders should be ready to help other riders (or ourselves) when accidents occur.
SendHit has designed a first aid kit specifically adapted to the requirements of mountain bikers and to the most frequent trauma in mountain biking:
- It’s light, only 100 gr
- It’s compact (16x11x3 cm) and therefore fits most hip packs and back packs
- It’s mud and water splash resistant
- It’s focused on serious injury situations because we all know that mountain bikers don’t care about minor injuries. The First Aid kit provides first aid medical equipment and instructions to enable the injured person to wait for emergencies or to return home in good condition.
-
It provides concrete help in emergency situation: In the event of a serious accident, you can quickly panic. The information provided in the first aid kit guides the injured person or his friend(s) in the first steps to be taken.
Act quickly
The pouch does not only serve as a container, it immediately delivers key information because the situation can involve quick and consequential decisions:
- The first actions to take in the event of an accident
- How to reach the emergency services
- Distress signals
Emergency card with key information
Quick and effective treatment can save lives in an emergency. First responders and mountain search and rescue teams must have essential personal information about the injured person in order to provide the best treatment on the spot and to notify the next of kin if necessary.
When completed, the emergency card provides this information.
A primary care guide
SendHit include in the kit a manual some basic pointers available in 5 languages (EN, FR, DE, ES, IT):
Symptoms/Treatment:
- Concussion
- Spinal injury
- Heart attack
- Shock
- Internal bleeding
- External bleeding

How to:
- How to practice a CPR
- How to practice a MILS
- How to put someone in a recovery position
- How to control bleeding
- How to dress a wound

As any attempt to provide first aid is better than no attempt at all, we provide some basic pointers that can help those facing an injury on the trail. By no means does reading these pointers substitute for formal First Aid training and we strongly recommend everyone to take a course.
