If you’ve ever hiked or walked more than a couple of miles at a time, chances are you have some experience with blisters, or the annoying pre-blister phase known as a “hot spot.”
Sawyer is here to solve the problem, and they do it better than any of the other alternatives on the market. The company’s Blist-O-Ban adhesive bandages works in two ways: They help prevent a blister if you’re experiencing the tenderness of a hot spot, and they help protect and relieve the pain and annoyance of a full-fledged blister.
The bandage forms a dome over your blister, which essentially mimics the actual blister. In doing so, it protects the fragile skin underneath, redirecting the pressure and friction that make matters worse.
Even better, the bandages are ultra thin, breathable, water resistant and latex free. They stay on well and in place for several hours, allowing you to hike or walk for the rest of the day without pain and air out the blister or sore once you arrive at your destination. They stay on through sweat and even through forays into creeks, sand, mud and more.
Each package comes with four strips, the perfect amount for your next adventure.
