At DirksOutdoors, we get the opportunity to field test different products but we often don't bother. Why? Primarily because we're looking for products for the outdoors person who wants and needs something that goes above and beyond what they currently have or use. We found one here for sure in the DrySee bandage.
Bandages are a commoditized product - you can get them anywhere and inexpensively at that. Not much has really changed in the modern bandage in a long, long time. However, if you are in the outdoors on a regular basis - and we hope in all those cases you have some kind of first aid kit with you regardless - finding a bandage that will keep your wound or scrape dry and sealed clean is almost impossible. On top of that, some of us spend time in remote parts - camping, hiking, hunting, and fishing - where medical care is NOT conveniently close.
The folks at DrySee have recently perfected the bandage by adding some technology to the process of making them. For example, a DrySee bandage keeps a wound dry and clean for at least 3 days - I field tested them to over 5 days without having to change them. So that's the "Dry" part of the DrySee bandage. Then there's the "See" part - where the DrySee bandage allows you to see you wound without having to take it off like a regular bandage.
Let me be pretty clear here: Every first aid kit should have a DrySee bandages in them. You can bet all my first aid kits have them now for both home and field use. They come in a variety of sizes for many different uses and needs.
