Neo 1.5: Wrist and Tendon Protection

Hiko Neo 1.5 Ankle Wraps These are neoprene wrist guards designed to cover the wrist and lower forearm. They help protect exposed areas from the cold and are a practical accessory for paddlers who want to increase their comfort while paddling in cooler weather or colder water.

Expert Advice

Choose wristbands that fit comfortably but don't cut into your skin or restrict blood flow to your hand. To minimize water from getting into your jacket, pull the cuff over the sleeve cuff so that it covers the seam between your glove and the jacket. After use, rinse it with fresh water and let it air dry in the shade, away from direct sunlight and sources of intense heat.
