This is not a solo-day-hike item for most people. It belongs in a group kit when you are far from a road. Learn a padding method. A splint on a nerve is not help. Take a class. Buying the splint is the easy part.

Who should buy it. Group leaders and remote trips.

Best for. Groups who go off a quick evacuation

Standout limitation. Useless if you do not know how to pad it
