The field kit can be described as a pre-arranged assortment of various items designed for survival. These kits usually took the form of backpacks, and they included items such as a pair of condensing canteens equipped with water purification, a sunshield roll, enough food rations to last a week, a pair of glowrods, two breath masks along with twenty-four filters and twelve canisters for atmospheric conditions, and an all-temperature cloak. Because the standard field kit's contents didn't include weaponry, they were easily accessible and not subject to restrictions.
A standard field kit, consisting of this typical supply set, had a weight of approximately 10 kilograms. Its market value was 1,000 credits during the period from 32 BBY to 8 ABY.
