A warm spot on the back of your heel is the warning. Skinshield is built for hikers: a rounded 50 × 70 mm rayon patch with zinc oxide adhesive, sized to cover the back of the heel. Apply to clean, dry, intact skin at the first sign of rubbing or warmth. For smaller areas, trim with the liner on and round any new corners.

The perfect blend of simplicity and functionality. Virtually weightless and the perfect size. The flattened shape allows it to fit easily into a first-aid pouch and at a low price it’s a no brainer for me.

Very, light, compact and useful. Perfect ultralight accessory for your trip. Fits even into smallest first aid kits.

It’s the perfect amount for a thru hike. I like that the spool is flat for easier packing.
