Blister Prevention Tape: Precut Strips, Water Resistant, Durable Strips for Mountaineering, Snow Shoeing, Running, Hiking, Climbing, Skiing and Snowboarding, Winter Sports

This tape worked really great to prevent blisters and chafing of shoulders during a 6-day backpacking hiking trip. The strips are long but thin so they do not form a bulge but they do protect you. They usually stay after one shower but I changed them daily to avoid risk of them partially peeling off during a hike. They really worked great so I recommend them.

I have used a few different tapes. This style has been the best. A very similar tape used to be sold under a different name that was related to a specific race. That is all I will say. I loved that tape, but could not find it any more. After trying and looking at different types, I found this and it looked exactly like it. When I got it, I believe it was the same exact tape.A couple key points with this style of tape.First, it is 100% best to put this on before you get hot and sweaty (in the area you want to protect). If you do, this tape will stay on even after a shower (provided you don't go crazy with soap on it). However, it will be hard for it to stick if your skin is moist. Makes sense.Second, don't put this directly over a blister. The adhesive is very strong. You need to put a bandage over the wound and then this tape over it. I 100% recommend NexCare 100% Waterproof bandages to put over the blister first. They stick great, flexible and are low profile. A perfect match to this blister tape, which is also very low profile.Third, if you have a blister already, you will still feel it even after the applying the second point above. It is a wound and it will be unhappy. However, the second point above will make it so much more tolerable.This tape has helped me with training an running a half marathon. During training, my sock bunched up and created a blister on top of one of my little toes. I used this tape to prevent it getting worse and to prevent it from occurring during the event. Worked awesome and stayed in place.If I had request, I wish they would make this in different skin color tones too. I have been using this tape while breaking in a pair of new boat shoes, which I am trying to break in fast. One spot on my heel is not happy with the shoes. So I have been doing the second point listed above and it is very helpful. However, the black is very noticeable. I really don't care so much, but I would not be upset if it 'blended' in a little more.I usually have a small first aid kit with me in my daypack and I always have this with me along with bandages. I like it that much.

I walk for fallen heroes and have walked over 7,000 miles. This is the best product I’ve used so far. No blisters while using this tape.

This stuff is amazing. Positively way more thin and skin like than I anticipated!Held up it's stickiness and peeled off perfectly clean. No more blisters!

Definitely does not stick well if you sweat a lot… crumples up or wads up while you’re running. If you stretch it as you apply it, it seems to stick okay-ish for a little longer… I will not be buying this product again. Big disappointment.

My friend Kari recommended this product to me. She let me sample it before and it was amazing.Have you ever had hot spots develop while ski touring, mountaineering, or hiking? Here's your fix.I place the tape before anything develops. You know what happens? Nothing develops. I did a few miles with a few thousand feet of gain skitouring in the blistering sun.This photo is 20 hours after applying and utilizing the tape. Keep in mind, I was wearing skiboots in loose walk-mode. Not a single section of the tape came loose!I am really happy with this product. You will be too.At first, like any tape, it can flail around. Take half the paper backing off, apply, and then do it again for the second portion. You will be able to manipulate the tape with ease for about an hour. Once the adhesive attaches to your skin, it's on there. When removing, you'll notice it takes a bit of force to remove.Solid product. Buy it.

Blisters are gone

Perfect all-around blister tape. It’s extremely lightweight and breathable, and puts moleskin to shame. We love using it for hiking, running, and everything in between.
