A must have in the pack.

I've never had a blister while hiking, but my son did get a hotspot on his pinky toe while hiking Mt. St. Helens. I applied one of these to his toe and he completed the hike up to the rim and back to the trailhead and the following day he reapplied a skin to the spot and hiked the entire length of the Ape Caves. I always keep a package in my pack, the day I stop carrying them will be the day I need them. Cheap insurance.
OK Moleskin

Average moleskin, pre-cut into pieces for convenience. Does what it claims.
Not bad, not great...
John Langer
Member since
As others have said... meh. It does the job adequately, but I'm not super impressed. There are definitely better performing moleskins out there.
Duct Tape > Mehskin
David Hugens
Member since
Another product that promises greatness and falls short. Moleskin is just too thick and bulky to adequately function while in a boot or shoe. I'd recommend a good couple layers of Duct Tape (High thread count) over this any day.
Good only if you run out of Duct Tape...
Mehh!!!!!!

People are giving this great reviews but in my opinion this stuff sucks! I am not a first time user of Moleskin either. This may work for cruising the trail but when I primarily use this stuff it is for hunting and there are no trails straight up bushwacking and lots of it. The pre-cut patterns are lame and the material it self is week compared to others; i.e. Dr Scholl's. It is far more advantageous to cut your own patterns and buy the real deal. Do yourself a favor pass on this and get the good stuff.
A necessity

This is one of those items that is crucial to have in your med kit but be careful as those less prepared will need to use it. this kit is an all in one kit. Add small alcohol wipes and plain cleansing wipes for a complete kit.
MUST HAVE

If you backpack and don't have this in your first-aid kit... It's time to add them. Every backpacker knows how important your feet are and these little sucker let you "keep walking." Buy them once and you'll never not have them. Happy Hiking!

Great buy for your feet. Took it as a precaution on a backpacking trip and became my best friend after ending up with three blisters. Nice price and the different sizes and shapes are nice.

What a relief - one of these medium patches saved my whole trip! I only bring a couple of these with me, not the whole pack, and between those and some Hydropel, my feet have never been happier.

The kit comes with all that you would need if you begin to have issues with bisters. Hopefully you will not need them, but good to have in first aid kit.

This item stashed in your pack can save your hiking trip. Put these on at the first hint of a hot spot or blister and save your feet for another day.
Saved my feet

I tried wearing a new pair of boots right out of the box on a 14 mile hike, based on the claim that this particular boot required no break in period. After this claim didn't hold up after only a mile in, and hot spots started on my heels and ankles, I used this kit and finished the hike with no further problems.

i've seen great hikes gone bad by people who suffer from blisters. moleskin is the answer -just slap the appropriate size piece right on your foot, and boom, you're good to go. i consider this a must for any backpacking trip or hike of length. even if you don't get blisters, they are handy for new hikers in your party, or people with new boots that came unprepared. great product.
Must have.

Moleskin is essential for backpacks of any length. Blisters can ruin a hike real quick. This pack contains pre-cut forms of different sizes, which allows you to just slap it on and get back on the trail quick and pain free!
Keep walking

If your feet are fresh out of the plushness of ski boots and going on a hike, bring this along to be safe. I have had some pretty bad blisters and hot-spots in the past and this stuff works great. Keeps you on the trail and healing quickly.
How waterproof are these? will they last...

How waterproof are these? will they last on watery hikes?

Hey Ryan,They last very well on watery hikes. I've been caught trail running for 3-4 hours in the rain and they haven't slipped at all!
Get on the trail and stay on the trail

These are a must for any one who likes to cover any distance. Trail runners, adventure racers and weekend warriors alike will be able to take advantage of these. Weather you are trying to soldier through the last ten miles with those blister laden feet or going for a little preventative maintenance. these are a must for any medical kit.

It works! I brought the Adventure Medical Moleskin Kit on a backpacking trip to help with some blisters that I already had - and I barely felt them. The moleskin that I applied the first day worked the whole 6 days! The pre-cut shapes were quick, but arent all that versatile.
