Thanks. This is an interest of mine and I am always looking for the best bang for the buck.

Comes in more different colors (we all want snazzy looking horses!)

Example, $1.39 for 4"x5yards at a horse place:

Example, $1.64 for the same size at a different horse place, a bit higher priced, but even more colors:

The kit already comes with two Gauze Rolls and there is a compartment in the kit just for them.

Can CoFlex be used in place of an elastic bandage? If so, which of the two should be used in a first aid kit?
