5.0 out of 5 stars Blister Free Hiking, August 16, 2008

I am an avid hiker/backpacker/scrambler and a recent convert to Hydropel. I bought it for a week long backpacking trip on a section of the PCT. There were four men, including myself, on this trip. We shared a single tube of Hyrdopel during this trip and it had sufficient volume, with some left at the end of the trip.

Hydropel on its own will not be enough to prevent blisters. You must still take care of the #1 essential: properly fitting boots. Without a comfortable and broken-in boot you will still get blisters. However, combine a good, comfortable boot, wool hiking socks, liner socks, and hydropel and you have a recipe for blister free travel.

Also, based on a recommendation from a hiking blog I read (www.sectionhiker.com), one of our group members on our section hike (not me) tried hydropel on the monkey butt he developed on day 2 of the hike. His report? Success!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for preventing blisters in long races, April 22, 2010

This is great stuff. Combined with Injinji toe socks, this has prevented my feet from blistering at all in the last two hundred milers and last four fifty milers I've run. Previously, my feet usually got very blistered in these races.

Great stuff for kayaking. Used it every few hours on a recent 300+ mile, seven day offshore sea kayaking race and not one blister. Only shame was that I lost the tube overboard in the last few hours of the event; and one tube usually lasts two of these races.
