Bandaids (for blisters)
A hot spot on a heel or a finger is enough to cut a long day short. Keep a small blister kit in a vest: tape before the skin breaks, a blister cover after it does, and ordinary bandages for the other cuts. These are tough, waterproof bandages. Match the piece to the job.
What Separates Good from Great
Hot spot or open blister
Tape a hot spot before the skin goes. Use a blister cover once it has already formed.
Heel, toe, or hand
A heel cover has to stay put inside a boot. A finger cover should not wreck your grip.
Assorted is not a blister plan
A mixed bandage pack is for small cuts. It is a weak only-option for blisters.
Where you pack it
If it sits at the bottom of the pack, you will not put it on when the spot first burns.
The Call
A roll of tape, not a bandage. Use it to wrap a hot spot before it becomes a blister.
The blister-specific product here. Use it once a blister is already there and a plain strip will not cushion it.
Curad assorted bandages for small cuts. Keep them beside the tape and the blister cover, not instead of them.
