So there you have our best first aid kit for kayaking rankings. I had gotten a nylon case kit donated to me at one time, and I always worried about it getting mold or moisture on the case and not noticing it until it was a problem. Because of this, I personally lean towards the waterproof cases, but some of the nylon case kits are very highly rated and worth mentioning. I hope that this is helpful!
