KletterRetter Outdoor First Aid Kit

For minor injuries and serious emergencies. Developed with real-world mountain rescue experience.

Whether you’re climbing, bouldering or hiking in the mountains, accidents can happen when you least expect them. Minor cuts, scrapes and sprains are just some of the risks, alongside more serious accidents. And in remote areas, it can take time for professional help to arrive.

That’s why we developed the KletterRetter Outdoor First Aid Kit. Working together with an active mountain rescuer and an experienced mountain guide and climbing coach, we’ve created a compact, versatile first aid kit tailored to the demands of climbing and mountain sports.

From treating minor injuries to providing initial care for severe bleeding, this kit combines essential first aid supplies with additional emergency equipment for outdoor adventures.

Expert Opinion

Immediate First Aid When It Matters

“As an active mountain rescuer, I know from personal experience that it can take time for help to arrive in the mountains. During that time, knowing how to respond can make all the difference. That’s why, when developing this kit, it was particularly important to me that it contains the essentials: equipment to control severe bleeding and prevent heat loss. Compact, high-quality and without unnecessary extras.”
