EVERLIT Ultralight Waterproof First Aid Kit

Waterproof shell, 1-2 people, several days

A sensibly stocked kit in a genuinely waterproof shell, which matters more than the contents list — no commercial kit contains what you actually need in Nepal, so treat it as a bag to add to rather than a finished answer.

Actually waterproof, which the good kits are and the cheap ones are not

Sensible dressings and tape included

Light enough to carry rather than leave behind

No altitude medication, and cannot have any

Blister treatment is inadequate for a fortnight

You will repack half of it

Not for you if: Anyone expecting a complete solution. Add blister care, rehydration salts, and whatever your doctor prescribes.
