Threewaves Nose Clips – A Few Months On

Sometimes a simple product just blows you away and this has certainly happened with the Threewaves Nose clips. I’ve been so impressed I have brought a few pairs back to the UK. If you fancy a pair give me a shout.

I’ve been using Smiley nose plugs for longer than I care to remember and have never moved away from them. I am a firm believer in the use of nose plugs and each of my helmets has (had) a Smiley nose plug attached and they have served me well. However that may have just changed with the arrival of these new nose plugs from Three Waves.

Product Details:

o Double lacquered flexible metal bracket for individual adjustment to the nose.
o Molded from high-quality silicone pads by dermatologically harmless silicone for very long life with application-specific use.
o Our use of silicone is hydrophobic, or water-repellent and thus displaces the water film between the silicone pad and skin, resulting in a perfect fit.
o The silicone pads on the nose contact surfaces are roughened and equipped with mini suction cups.
o Very comfortable to wear even over several hours due to the anatomically shaped silicone pads.
o Tear-resistant and high quality 24 cm long polyester lanyard for secure attachment.
o Can be put on and adjust with one hand.
o Ideal for whitewater rodeo, Eskimo animals, kayak polo, sea kayaking, etc.
o Absolutely impervious to salt water, chlorine, perspiration.
o three waves nose clips are handmade in Franconia / Germany.
o Only 6.5 grams.

First things first they are more expensive than Smileys or similar at around £15. Now that shouldn’t put you off as the features, fit and function of the Three Waves plugs is far better. Check out the reviews here.

I have really been so impressed by the quality, feel and performance of these nose plugs that I feel that the price is justified. My Smiley nose plugs have been removed and the Threewaves plugs have taken there place. After almost 6 months use I cannot fault them. They still remain as good as the day I first used them.

Despite being used in salt water, pools, rivers, and left in a hot car etc they are perfect.

    Maybe I was doing something wrong (bending and unbending too often or too wide I guess), but mine broke down in two parts after less than 3 weeks on White Nile.

      I tend to put them on my nose and give them a little squeeze. When they are pulled off they expand very slightly, just enough to come off. I never bend/unbend them as this will fatigue any metal.

    I never bend my noseclips in and of shape. The metal can’t take it for very long. Do as Unsponsored has said and your plugs will last an age. I see some paddlers pinch their noseclips so it locks to there helmet. Again not a great idea. They are made for noses not your lid.
