The AAA 121-Piece Road Trip First Aid Kit offers a large number of items for an affordable price. Plenty of sterile gauzes and antiseptic will help you treat many injuries you may encounter on the road. A pair of gloves helps protect you when administering first aid to someone else.

It comes in a sturdy zipper case and includes a first aid guide to help novices who might have questions.
