Hiko Neo 3.0: Neoprene wristbands for warmth and wrist support

Neo 3.0: Wrist and Tendon Protection

Hiko Neoprene Mittens 3.0 They are designed to support the wrists and protect sensitive tendons from the cold. They are a practical accessory for paddlers who repeatedly strain their arms while paddling and want to keep their wrists warm when out in damp or colder conditions.

Thicker 3mm neoprene provides a higher level of thermal protection than lightweight neoprene accessories. You’ll therefore especially appreciate these leg warmers when paddling in colder water, in windy conditions, on spring and fall trips, or during longer outings on the river.

3mm neoprene for better insulation

The ankle pads are made of 3 mm of neoprene. The material creates a warm layer around the wrist and lower forearm, helping to reduce the effects of the cold while still allowing for active hand movement when paddling.

• Thickness: 3 mm: Enhanced thermal protection suitable for colder conditions.
• Neoprene material: It helps keep the wrist and tendons warm.
• Protection Against the Cold: Useful when exposed to water, wind, and wet gear.
• Flexible design: It allows for normal hand movement during sports activities.

Strengthening the Wrist While Paddling

When paddling, the wrist is repeatedly engaged during strokes, paddle turns, and maneuvering the boat. Wrist guards provide additional support to the wrist area while protecting the sensitive tendons from the cold.

• Wrist Strengthening: Additional support during regular paddling movements.
• Tendon Protection: It helps maintain thermal comfort in sensitive areas.

Expert Advice

Choose ankle warmers that fit comfortably without cutting into your skin or restricting blood flow to your toes. When wearing them with gloves and a jacket, layer them so that there are no gaps at the wrist that could be exposed to water and wind. Wrist warmers are a sports accessory designed for thermal comfort and light support; they are not a substitute for a medical brace. After use, rinse them with fresh water and let them dry in the shade.
