Scrapes under Cover

In the interest of testing products, I crashed into the pavement during a recent run so I could test some Nexcare Abrasion Covers (at least, that’s my story). I had a race coming up, and the throbbing gash on my knee and scrapes on my hands weren’t going to improve my time, so I dipped into a multi-size pack.

The covers claim to be water- and sweat-proof and to last for up to seven days, but after about two days, the patch on my knee had to be replaced. The covers on my hands fared better, though, and really saved me as I punched away on the keyboard at work.

However, the real test was during my 15k, and I must say that these covers were lifesavers for my knee. The Cover was ultra thin and flexed with any movement without losing its grip. And I never had to worry about sweat or dirt getting into my wounds -- in fact, I felt like hadn’t injured my knee at all, from start to sweaty, exhausted finish.
