Hi all - am doing the Channel next month.
My question is - with the water being COLD will facial hair help keep me warm at all in the water. Will only be in for an hour at a time, as it's the relay.
Am thinking of growing some facial hair (beard), and having had one before I know that once it gets long enough it wont chaff.
Would facial hair help keep you warm in the water or will it not matter too much?
Cheers

50 Fahrenheit for 90 minutes? Sounds like you don't have too much to worry about already.
Maybe consider earplugs as well.
